Hey buddy

I decided to quit the site too. Was nice to meet you though. After the last few weeks, I have made the decision to change my default search page to duckduckgo.com and to never use this "encyclopedia" as a source of information again. I can't believe how much shit we put up with.

I read an article that mentioned how wikipedia, has over time, led to a decrease in involvement of editors, and that the editors that are left over are deranged. Those aren't the exact words, but that was the message more or less. It was an article about the racism, sexism, and etc. on the site. Kswikiaccount (talk) 02:35, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Likewise; sorry it worked out that way for you too. Me, more or less the same. Maybe we'll meet at whatever phoenixes Wikipedia in the end...

I read a similar article and I believe it. I think it's pretty clear we were both casualties of an attempt to squelch a minority viewpoint. But archive or not, the full transcript will remain on my talk page and on a Wikia I'll post the link to now. Michael Sheflin (talk) 02:41, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

I have this tiny feeling that the people fighting us and cheating the system were working for some government agency. One of them edits nothing but pornography and politics. And the weirdest thing ever was some dude that claimed to be a libertarian socialist that kept pushing to keep the page favorable for clinton.

I found this article from the Observer.com proving that the DNC was against Bernie and a lot of the stories (like the Bernie Bros thing) were fake. I couldn't belive people would buy into the ridiculous idea that People of Color and Women didn't support Bernie Sanders...

Anyways I just realized why the both of us were the only ones on that page trying to talk sense.

1. People were being driven away by extreme hostility and incivility, and we were the only ones that stuck through all the cheating and hostility.
2. We both live outside of the united states.

I checked out your blog and you haven't posted anything in a while. Kswikiaccount (talk) 21:30, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

http://2016-dem-primary-fraud.wikia.com/wiki/User_Page_Vandalism_and_Lockout . I no longer have control of my User Page. This is clearly a lawless, thuggish environment. Michael Sheflin (talk) 21:31, 18 June 2016 (UTC) My blog is a vestige of another time. I live in New Jersey; my editing started (I think) when I lived in Cairo though.

If you actually are a law student, you clearly must have failed ConLaw if you're mad that a private website has rules about what it allows on its pages and thinks that's a first amendment issue. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:46, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

This is a defamatory comment. I never alleged a constitutional issue. Saying that I did so in an attempt to cast shade on my legal knowledge is totally inappropriate. My concern all along was with Wikipedia editors' unwillingness or inability to follow their own rules. I will send this to the defamation email along with the previous issue.

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

I've blocked you to put a stop to this. Just drop it. I don't see any indication that you are here to actually work on the encyclopedia or more importantly care to actually listen to anyone else. If you want to return, show us that you've moved on and won't keep up this pointless drama. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:44, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
