I hope you'll all join me in saying that I hope "Sam Blacketer" is as sick as a parrot.

It took a while, but once again, we can all see that those who cast stones at me are very often guilty of much worse than I've ever done on Wikipedia. Sick as a parrot, indeed.

Gregory KohsThis was the response I received this morning:

Your request to the WikiEN-l mailing list
Posting of your message titled "Re: Get paid to edit ethically"
has been rejected by the list moderator. The moderator gave the
following reason for rejecting your request:
"Sorry Greg, can't see a reason to let this flame war continue. --
Steve B."
Any questions or comments should be directed to the list administrator
at:
wikien-l-owner@lists.wikimedia.org
I can't say that I'm surprised, or that I blame the list moderators. My snappy "told you so" was probably too powerful and would have led to the complete collapse of the Wikipedia system. So, for survival itself, they had to reject it.
Don't worry, I sent an even more inflammatory retort to Jimmy Wales, Mike Godwin (both of whom said, "Sorry, but there's nothing we can do" when I complained that "Blacketer" was using their tax-advantaged mailing list to wish ill on me and call my business and my clients unethical), David Gerard (to teach me how to skull dance), and "Sam Blacketer" himself. They'll get the message, one way or another. I don't need their stinking WikiEN-l list to do it. In fact, rejecting the post just makes them look even more corrupt.

C'mon, Greg. If they were really going to stop you from trying to contact them regarding your mutual history they would have responded with,
"Thank you for your esteemed custom. The "Severe Shirley" latex bondage-nurses uniform will be dispatched promptly, with an invoice that is payable within 14 days of this acknowledgment."
To ensure your retreat, they would then send a large, ripped, empty box to your home address (which they know) together with said promised invoice still firmly attached.
That is what I would do, anyway. I think the doors of communication are still open between you and WP.
