I found this page, that was put on the spam black list by Essjay with the comment: "contains personal information about Wikipedians: being used to stalk and harass them". http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...22&oldid=332930

So I went and had a look at it:

http://doubleblue.info/

Whilst there is a bit of a conspiracy theory element, alleging bias and a minor cabal that may not exist, I don't see how the site needs to be added to the spam blacklist. For starters, its not actually spam. Adding something to the spam blacklist seems like a good way to advertise it.

What does everyone think of this?

Isn't AnnH the person singled out on the unmentionable site as the worst offender?

Wowsies. So we are unmentionable? Because I made a post questioning why a critic site was put on the Spam Blacklist, therefore we are unmentionable? Oh horror of horrors!

Isn't it funny that when Antaeus Feldspar goes around stalking people, he gets hefty praises from Snowspinner and David Gerard, that he is doing his job, what a good guy he is, and so forth.

Yet when someone posts a critic site, they then claim it is stalking people to justify removing it.

Until they do something about real, actual cases of stalking, and ban people like Antaeus Feldspar and help people to prosecute them, then I will not believe their cases about such people as doubleblue.

And while they continue to falsely claim wikistalking against people like Marsden and Fuelwagon, I am more tempted to lean towards Doubleblue here.

Oh and whoever Alienus is, we should invite him/her to come here. And Musical Linguist too, if she dares.

I suppose that, by showing my face here, I brand myself as a rebel who must be expunged off the surface of Wikipedia. Well, fuck that.

Anyhow, I'm told there are some responsible, competent and moral Wikipedia admins, but they must be a small minority, since I rarely encounter them. The ones who hound me are a lesser breed.

Does anyone know who the good, fair, responsible, moral and competent Wikipedia admins are? Maybe we can form a list. Whoever they are, they need to step up more to put a balance to others, which seem to be the majority, unfortuantely---and it seems everyday they are increasing in their ranks by getting their friends admined. Its the snow-ball effect.
