Welcome to my page, and go Celtics! Leave a message for me below, and I'll respond on this page unless you ask otherwise.


It's been about eight months since I posted the reasons I've become disillusioned with this place , and in that time I think I've wandered back over here to make about a hundred edits total, and absolutely nothing of any substance. I should probably go ahead and make this official, and quit wasting my time. The problems I talked about on my user page are all still there, and things seem to have gotten worse. There's no leadership here, only chaos. And ], nor does it work to entice me to volunteer my services for free.
Just so everyone will know, on June 29, 2008, I was given the Rollback tool by admin ] for help in vandal-fighting. I will also use this tool to revert, on sight, the edits of blocked wikipedia users. If you have a question about my use of rollback, it was probably in one of these situations. Any other questions, leave them here on my talk page. Thanks! ] (]) 22:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


For those of you watching from over there, after more than ten thousand edits here, I've finally been immortalized at an anti-Misplaced Pages website. Finally! Some recognition from the dark side! My RFA is linked there, along with a disparaging quote from (yet another) user who commented on my RFA to rip me, refused a request for diffs, and then got indef blocked and hasn't been seen or heard from since. Thanks, guys. Those are definitely the users of vast integrity and worthy contributions who should be noted in pull quotes. Oh, and judging from the style of writing, it's posted on the site by someone who certainly appears to be the latest incarnation of a user blocked across multiple areas of the Misplaced Pages Foundation for being a nutball.
If you are an IP and cannot post on this page, it has been semi-protected. Admins regularly semi-protect this page against IPs who come here to disrupt. Please leave a message on the talk page for the article you'd like to discuss. I'd suggest registering an account, it makes everything easier.


Well, that's certainly one for the resume. I can't tell you how much this means to me, to finally receive the scorn I deserve from a website that's the Gold Standard of bitterness. I can now retire happily. I am somebody, dammit!
== Thank you... ==


Love to all, and good luck in the future.
...for your kind words. We'll see how things go in a few months. You're right that some (somewhat over 50 percent) "get me", whereas the other group is ''"stuck"'' with me. >:) I was accused of not taking wikipedia or the nomination seriously. I didn't quite say this, but I hinted at it, a quote (as I recall it, anyway) from '']'', where the annoying space station manager Nilz Baris (], an excellect character actor in his day) is accusing Kirk of not being serious about the ] project. Kirk retorts to Baris that he takes the project ''very'' seriously, and that "It's ''you'' I do not take seriously!" Think that would have helped? Maybe not. :) ] <sup>'']''</sup> 01:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Dayewalker - you have requested talk pages over email, so here it is. When an initiator and instigator of disruptive editing pre-emptively filed a plaintiff action against me, successfully manipulating Misplaced Pages admins into finishing a fight he started by having me blocked, you declared "no one will hold it against you." Now, probably the same editor using ip address verses wiki username has done the same thing. That is, initiate and instigate with hypocritical behavior and then pre-emptively start plaintiff action manipulating admins into a false sense that they are innocent actors because they are the first to file plaintiff action. Sure enough, wikipedia admin ] used the prior block to say "he/she is no stranger to controversy" proving your statement "one will hold it against you" completely and utterly wrong.

Under your definition I can't tell people about who or what is happening to me? I did not personally attack anyone in my "manifesto" and like I said someone who was being really uptight with me I called juvenile and that was the "personal attack". Listen, I get the language police thing, even though I have been called practically every name in the book yet I have never tried to block people for saying, as wikidemon just did, that I "am ridiculous (which is tame compared to other comments) That comment, would have got me blocked if I had said it to wikidemon. But, I get that now and I understand they are waiting for me to react so that they can block me for calling their actions "juvenile" or what have you. However, I was not using my talk page to attack people I was explaining my situation and i was blocked not for personal attacks but for a "rant". Also, look at my current photo agenda discussion section at Obama. that was just closed off and labeled a rant. I can't very well move on when it is still occurring. ] (]) 21:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)JohnHistory

Retired This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.

It's been about eight months since I posted the reasons I've become disillusioned with this place , and in that time I think I've wandered back over here to make about a hundred edits total, and absolutely nothing of any substance. I should probably go ahead and make this official, and quit wasting my time. The problems I talked about on my user page are all still there, and things seem to have gotten worse. There's no leadership here, only chaos. And chaos does not work for the New York Yankees, nor does it work to entice me to volunteer my services for free.

For those of you watching from over there, after more than ten thousand edits here, I've finally been immortalized at an anti-Misplaced Pages website. Finally! Some recognition from the dark side! My RFA is linked there, along with a disparaging quote from (yet another) user who commented on my RFA to rip me, refused a request for diffs, and then got indef blocked and hasn't been seen or heard from since. Thanks, guys. Those are definitely the users of vast integrity and worthy contributions who should be noted in pull quotes. Oh, and judging from the style of writing, it's posted on the site by someone who certainly appears to be the latest incarnation of a user blocked across multiple areas of the Misplaced Pages Foundation for being a nutball.

Well, that's certainly one for the resume. I can't tell you how much this means to me, to finally receive the scorn I deserve from a website that's the Gold Standard of bitterness. I can now retire happily. I am somebody, dammit!

Love to all, and good luck in the future.
