This came pretty much out of the blue: My one year ban. It turns out that it was initiated by Dmcdevit, someone with whom I have never had any dealings, in this edit of April 30, well after I had stopped editing Wikipedia. I can't help but wonder whether joining this forum has made me a target. I imagine that other forum members can enlighten me on this topic.

Tell me, is it customary to blank one's user page under such circumstances? It may be that my user page (see previous version) pissed someone off. Oddly, my page was blanked anonymously by 69.117.7.84 -- do any of you more experienced nerds have the expertise to find out who that is? And can any unbanned Wikipedians out there restore my user page while I am banned?

Which begs the question: could 69.117.6.210 be a sock for SlimVirgin?


First, you copy and paste from my post, which you never responded to (that's the wrong IP if you're wondering).

Second, you don't respond to me, but you do to blissyu2 who just repeats "look an anon reverted you! isn't that weird!" apparently because she didn't notice that you brought this up in your very first post.

Then you all the sudden say "maybe the anon is SlimVirgin?" (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/huh.gif)

This is ridiculous. I gave a whole bunch of good reasons in the subsequent post why I think it is Curps, not to mention adding a whole lot of links. It's kind of a slap in the face to my help, that, you don't even respond to my help and it is help you specifically asked for! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/mad.gif) It makes me think you just want it to be SlimVirgin, instead of, what I think is far far far more likely, some random uninvolved admin who spends all day putting up "this user has been banned" templates, and you just want to put your fingers in your ears unless it someone bashing SlimVirgin.

Don't take offense. I have no idea who Curps is, whereas I have had over a year of running battles with SlimVirgin, who has now reverted my user page twice in her own name, and banned whoever it was that came to my aid there.
