As poorly as many editors think of it, Simple English Wikiquote (yes, the wiki that "translates" quotes) has never been this active! With the additions of four administrators in the last three days, things are moving along quite nicely. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yay for Simple English Wikiquote!

So, "writing style" and an "attitude" are now sufficient grounds for violating the Internet privacy of a contributor to a Wikimedia Foundation project? Seems rather rude and invasive to me. And, fancy that, no apology to me on my Talk page. -- Thekohser (talk) 22:23, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh quit trying to provoke people. Just walk away. -Djsasso (talk) 03:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll say exactly as I said to Jonas: You are deluded if you think I am going to apologise to you. Kennedy (talk) 08:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps you should heed Djsasso's advice? You've caused trouble on Simple from what, your 3rd edit, and have what, 10? It's like you're after conflict... after creating an article, you leave an attention-seeking message to Razorflame (who hasn't been active for ages), and it's been downhill from there - entirely your own fault this is happening to you. If you just, um, wrote articles and attempted to get on with the community instead of trying to act like a wikimartyr, you wouldn't receive so-called "abuse" and "harrassment".

It's what Jonas Rand tried doing - he positioned himself as an unwanted in-house critic, and stayed under the false pretence he was actually useful, by editing an article once in a while. He went out of his way to find conflict, and irritate everyone he came across, until he became such an irritating twat, we had no choice but to ban him. Of course, this was abuse and wrong according to Jonas, but it was entirely his own fault, simply because he act(s/ed) like an asshole. You're heading down the same route, as far as I can see. Jonas is, I believe, 12 years old. You're in your thirties/forties (I forget which). See if you can do better than a little kid, which is what Jonas is.

"Jonas" is actually 46 years old, give or take a couple of years.
