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?
