UhOh, sounds like I stepped on somebuddy's surplice. That's okay, Milton, one day you'll accidentally do something spineful enough to get permabanned — the
sine qua non of genu-whine e-lightenment about Wikipedia — and then you can join the rest of us bony-fried e-habitants of Wiki-Paradise Lost.
Let us know if there's anything we can do to Hasten the Day —

Oh, that day may come. One of these days I'll may not be able to control my anger at some fuckwit, and they'll find an excuse to ban me, especially knowing very well who I am HERE and who I am THERE.
The problem is this: I don't really have anything to lose THERE, except my username, which doesn't count, as I have no powerz, and it's already under a secret cloud. So, it will be a favor in some ways. I don't give a shit about administration. I've already learned that nobody is interested in my ideas for reform. So, WTF cares? The only reason I keep the username I was "born" with on WP, is that it carries just a little bit of reputation in some fields where I edit. But not enough to be important. Such things are transient, and on WP, they don't really count that much.
If I get the ban, I'll rotate my IP and probably go back as somebody else (I'm thinking of user:Tetrass). I have a broad enough range of interests that nobody will ever know, and if they suspect, there won't be anything they can do. My editing on WP won't change much. My writing here won't change much.

What's more, they (by THEY I mean the powerz that be on WP) have already have figured all that out. Which is possibly why they haven't been very interested in getting my classic username blocked. When I edit WP NOW as the person who was outed as Milton Roe in the Poetguy affair, at least they can still watch what I'm doing, if they're at all interested (good luck sucking down that basic physics, you WikiPricks (IMG:

But once they ban me under my original and longstanding username, they understand that they can't even do THAT. I'll simply shift to editing the history of ancient Rome or something else (you figure it out from my posting history on WR and you MIGHT be right. Or not). But on WP, that means I'm gone without a ripple.
Allow me to point out that it makes almost no difference to ME what username I edit WP under, and that fact makes me completely free. Free in a way that Jimmy Wales and Sue Gardner and most of the toxic and well-known admins on WP, cannot begin to fathom.
