Apologise for the block Herostratus, it was idiotic. Way too caught up in teh dramaz back then.
Not that I've been keeping careful statistics or anything, but I frankly can't recall a single instance of anyone ever apologizing for a block.
Ahem, I said I was sorry for blocking you on English Wikisource, both on your talk page and (iirc) during our IRC discussions.
I would love to remove this block, but only if you agree to not use English Wikisource as a vector to bypass restrictions on other WMF projects. I would love it even more if you wanted to contribute to English Wikisource. ;-)
See
this page and
this page. Even if you unblocked me, it would have no effect. I would still be obliged to post without logging in, and I would still have to manually sign my posts and manually link them to a frozen user page that no one (except a local admin) could edit.
It makes much more sense for me to do my work on the
NetKnowledge Wiki, where I am free of the odious encumbrances of WMF prohibitions against doing academic studies of Wikimedia Ethics.
Sorry, I forgot that you ended up with a global block. If you are no longer going to evade the indef block on en.wv, then I can ask for the global block to be removed as well.
I hope NetKnowledge works out for you.
Mainly, I hope NetKnowledge works out for SB_Johnny and Hillgentleman, both of whom have abandoned Wikiversity in the wake of the last round of interventions by Jimbo.
Note that Jimbo personally dictated the global blocks on both Greg and myself. Jimbo also blocked PrivateMusings and de-sysopped SB_Johnny. And he said he would do it again "in defense of Wikiversity." It occurs to me that if Jimbo believes Wikiversity cannot function with the likes of PrivateMusings, SB_Johnny, Greg Kohs, or myself in residence there, then I frankly see no future for the project.
