November 2008
I really was not trying to obtain Damien's e-mail address for the purpose of harassing him.
I was trying to obtain his PHYSICAL mailing address for that purpose.
I'm kidding, of course.
Actually, I am writing a book about Wikipedia as a social phenomenon, and I currently am wanting to interview people who are unanimously hated and reviled within the Wikipedia community, for a chapter on what I hear are known as "trolls," that is, people who make it their sole pasttime to delete other people's entries and mindlessly contest their every statement, typically because of political or religious motivations.
By all accounts, Damiens.rf is a troll of the worst order, and so I feel my book would be incomplete without his presence. Damiens, if you're out there, my offer still stands.
- Of course we believe you. It also seems I misread your intent, but trying to obtain his RL address rather than (as I thought) his e-mail address really doesn't make the situation any better, and could put your group in a difficult position should Damiens.rf decide to follow things up with your ISP.
