thank you i've posted an associated press article that appeared on the news wires today on the discussion page for nitrites the article validates my concerns about wikipedia i imagine you'll edit it out or delete it i suspect that the general public 'gets it' about wikipedia too it's regrettable that the folks who are the most knowledgeable about and best able to use the intracacies of wikipedia's rules and regulations are also the people best equipted to use that knowlege to stifle newbies and or those who are less computer savvy who may make mistakes or who haven't even yet heard about what a 'sock puppet' is or rr rule or whatever rules you and heah used to stifle my contributons i doubt you'll 'get it' nor do i care but at the end of the day just maybe there's a chance that you'll actually understand the damage you do by your holier than thou attitudes and arrogant computer geek power plays this is in no way meant to be a personal attack on you or heah or anyone else who edits in wikipedia it's simply the reaction of an ordinary guy based on his observations and experiences after being stifled by those who dissagreed with his edits you and heah in addition to not agreeing with my edits clearly have the superiour knowledge of how wikipedia works which made it easy for you to throw down obstables to my postings make false allegations of wrong doing and activate wikipedia's rules to either threaten to ban me or block me or as you did to actually ban or block me but the more important issue and problem is for wikipedia itself namely that this kind of censorship is akin to the autoritarion rulers whose people are only allowed to see or read whatever the rulers deem suitable which will as i've said before only serve to further diminish the already tarnished reputaton of wikipedia
