wikien-l is the official sewer of English Wikipedia and I'm one of the fascist abusive powercrazed listadmins. Yay.

There's a note on the block page that says you can always complain on wikien-l, so it starts a couple of points down on the lucidity scale. We are now enforcing a civility requirement after the first message, and sometimes before it. And a "this is your twentieth time sending essentially the same complaint, and the combination of autism and schizophrenia is not an indicator of arseholedom per se, but in your case it's obviously the icing on the cake, kthxbye" rule informally.

At which point the listadmins will probably respond to legal threats. It is absolutely the right thing for you to cc: copies of your rant about how you were blocked for 24 hours three days ago and the admin responsible must be kicked off Wikipedia immediately to the listadmins, because they really care (and have s3kr1t p0w3rz) to make it ALL BETTER.

[[Crank (person)]] explains the problem very nicely: "Online communication also fertilizes the eccentricities of hopeless cranks, who at last find themselves in firm possession of a wondrous soapbox that the Trilateral Commission and the Men In Black had previously denied them." We had this guy around today. Fabulous rant. And an even better one.

If Rex Curry didn't exist, aliens and neo-nazis would've invented him.

No, wait - they did!

I like the way he talks about himself in the third person. A nice touch.

Hmmm. Apparently, a local Tampa neighbor:

Yes. Always something that makes me trust someone as a source.

I'm not sure about that. He has rather higher standards than I do.
