I m sorry but after reading up on Mr Merkey s history particularly his tendency to sue people I d rather my ISP email address stayed well away from any kind of wikipedia storage That said if you want confirmation of who I am IRL mail my registered email address and I ll happily reply direct to you from my ISP account Yes I m familiar with the way wikipedia works and yes my account is only a week or so old My personal reasons for finally registering after years of using wikipedia as a first hit for research are given here and here and can be summed up in short as I don t like the overtly political edits Mr Merkey is making on something that I feel attached to I haven t gone as far as reverting edits calling people trolls sockpuppets or spambots violating the 3rr or being out and out rude as Mr Merkey has I haven t managed to get 2 distinct entries on WP ANI either for that matter I do feel somewhat sorry for Mr Merkey though and there s no hard feelings toward him for my block He s obviously being trolled something rotten and it s good that the administrators have taken some action but I do feel that I ve been caught up in it all inadvertently
