User talk:Husnock

This user has departed Wikipedia. Talk page messages may remain unanswered for some time

I have chosen to leave this site due to some very negative experiances in the past month. The first was a Wiki-stalking incident where parties unknown attempted to find me in the "real world", resulting in two e-mails to city governments (in an attempt to find my address), an e-mail to my job (in an attempt to get me in some kind of trouble), followed by a semi-threatening e-mail sent to my wife. The full details of this incident can be found here.

The second incident which has inspired me to shut down my account was that, on 13 Dec 2006, User:Morwen accussed me of making a death threat against her [[1]]. After my years on this site, and my general integrity as a person, to have someone post that I wished to harm them and they were in fear of thier life was greatly upsetting to me. Even more upsetting was the response of the Wikipedia community where the accusser was defended from all angles and I was eventually forced to make an apology. Full details of this incident can be found here.

I have therefore chosen to leave this site and wish the best to those who choose to remain. Good-bye. -Husnock 04:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Leaving

If you're going to leave, do so. I wish you luck in your future endeavours. What I don't like is using "leaving" as a free card to exiting any discussion, and injecting it into every conversation. This comes across as attention-seeking. — Werdna talk criticism 11:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I am on the way out, have no fear. I was helping a friend post to the site as he's having enourmous problems establishing an account from where he is. -Husnock 11:59, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

You do that by creating him an account and having the system email him a password, not by giving him your own password. A compromised admin account is anathema.

Words fail me, which as anyone who knows will tell you is remarkable. —Phil | Talk 12:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Husnock (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I do not deserve to be banned from this site with a permament block in case I want to one day return. How wrong is that. I helped a friend post a letter since he could not establish an account since all the available ips in Dubai are blocked. The password was changed five seconds after he posted and this account is not compromised.

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I do not deserve to be banned from this site with a permament block in case I want to one day return. How wrong is that. I helped a friend post a letter since he could not establish an account since all the available ips in Dubai are blocked. The password was changed five seconds after he posted and this account is not compromised. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I do not deserve to be banned from this site with a permament block in case I want to one day return. How wrong is that. I helped a friend post a letter since he could not establish an account since all the available ips in Dubai are blocked. The password was changed five seconds after he posted and this account is not compromised. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I do not deserve to be banned from this site with a permament block in case I want to one day return. How wrong is that. I helped a friend post a letter since he could not establish an account since all the available ips in Dubai are blocked. The password was changed five seconds after he posted and this account is not compromised. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

Can you explain why he could not just email you his contribution and you could then post it? Why did you need to give him access to an admin-level account to accomplish what a simple cut and paste would have achived? --Charlesknight 12:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

If you must know, I was on the phone with him and didnt think there was a rule against it if I changed my password right after I gave it to him. In any event...a ban from the site? Why are people hating me so? -Husnock 12:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

The truth

So, Husnock, were you lying on December 13th when you said "I have never heard of this person but I do know there are CENTCOM offices in Dubai", or are you lying now, when you say you are best friends and you gave him your password? Both cannot be true. Proto::► 12:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

He posted his real name on Wikipedia so I was trying to protect him. If that counts as a lie, then I was trying for the ends to justify the means (i.e., not penly admitting that I knew who that was and confirming his name on Wikipedia). He since has stated he doesn't care. He really wanted to post that letter so I helped him. Shoot me for that. My only issue is that this block is permament...since when was it discussed banning me from the site? Am I really so evil? Then we get to the letter itself. I thought it was a very nice letter. And, like I said, he was having all kinds of troubling establishing an account from where he is due to the ip blocks. I did not know I was breaking the rules to do this, as long as I changed my password. You can give me some kind of block (thats wha a lot of people want), but banning me the site from the is a bit much, I think, for giving my password to someone who was having trouble establishing an account.
