Happy Sunday evening folks,
Well as much as I hate doing this I am emailing everyone again and the list
continues to grow but I still have yet to receive an email from James
Alexander or anyone else from the WMF telling me why I was banned. I mean
my assumption is that it's because I refuse to accept my bullshit ban on
EnWP that was only implemented through manipulation of policy,
forumshopping, vote stacking and a complete manipulation of the process,
but that's just a guess.
Frankly, at this point, I don't think there was a reason other than James
Alexander knew I would keep fighting it and as such it helps him create
drama in the project, where no drama needs to be, just to justify his own
job. He can't tell me why I was banned because there is no reason other
than he needs to ban someone like me and Birillyle in order to justify his
own existence.
Many of you know me, I was a very high output and dedicated editor previous
to my bullshit ban. I didn't just magically stop, I was bullied out by
people who do not care about anything other than getting their way and it
is costing WIkipedia and Commons tens of thousands of edits a week, and for
what, to create drama? You notice the decline in edits, editors and longer
backlogs and lack of collaboration? Me too, it's cause they push out guys
like me who are doing the work.
The bottom line is, I am going to continue to edit and fight my ban until
mu ban is lifted. I would rather edit with my account but unless James
Alexander lifts my WMF ban, I can't, so now I have to ignore it by sicking.
I don't like doing that, but if I am forced to then I will.
Maybe if James or someone at the WMF will be adults or at least act like
they aren't a bunch of children ignoring someone that hurt their little
feelings, maybe we can get past this and everyone can go on.
At the very least, if I can get some kind of response from James about why
I was banned I can stop emailing an ever increasing list of people and
mailboxes looking for the answer.
Cheers! Kumioko
