Alright, this isn't working
Obviously, certain users (aka "the usual suspects") have it in for me and are stooping to false accusations of sockpuppetry on my part. I had retired from regular editing and was only making a few edits here and there. I did this without logging in. However, the last three digits of my IP are not static and changed from time to time (only 3 or 4 times since I retired). This was completely out of my control. I was not using these barely different IP addresses as "sockpuppets" to "evade blocks or bans." Not only was it obvious who I was, I freely admitted it. Ah, but that didn't stop the usual suspects from leveling trumped up charges against me. Of course not. I represent what they hate: intelligence, reason, logic, adherence to Wiki guidelines and policies, and - most grievously - an opposing viewpoint (Heaven forbid!). When I made good faith edits in complete agreement with Wiki guidelines, they got together to revert my edits while ignoring said guidelines and accusing me of "Wikilawyering" (well, excuse the crap out of me for sticking to the guidelines, guys - sheesh!). The same people have done this over and over and over to subvert the three-revert rule and wrongfully own articles.
So, whatever. You don't want "sockpuppets" (even if completely imagined)? Fine. Consider me back. I will stay logged in from now on when making edits in order to cheat you of your lame and false accusations against me. Happy? No, you won't be happy until I'm banned forever. Meh.
And in accordance to the block that was wrongly placed on me for "edit warring" (a block which was not placed on anyone else involved, of course, despite the fact that they were just as guilty), I will not edit anything more than my user pages for the next 24 hours or so (it's less than that, but I don't want to do the math right now) as per here. (See that? Even though I believe the block is wrong, I will still abide by it.)
