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 rr or being out and out rude as mr merkey has i haven't managed to get 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
