Owing to the fact that my unit has been activated and I am Being pOsted tO a new location for an extended tour of duty, I will no lonGER be in Texas. For your information, I've been able to edit from several IP's including my current home in Texas because I was able to persuade a few friends and family to let me run RealVNC on their home computers/game servers/office PC's. However, now that my sockpuppets have been killed off and because I am being relocated and because I think I've made my point, and because we all have to grow up someday, I am content to quit for the indefinite future. Due to relocation issues beyond my control, I will not have internet access on any kind of regular basis for 18 months, which at my age, is a lifetime. If and/or when I ever return, it will be under a single new user account and I will not be a source of trouble. However, in order for this promise to be binding on me, I ask that my request (which I am making here now) to delete and protect my user page and user talk page (same as user:katefan0 did) be honored. Basically, why I came back as Merecat was to prove that conservative editors are always opposed and I feel that I proved that. The RfC on Merecat Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Merecat made clear that Merecat was not as bad as User:Rex071404, but he was still opposed. Now as to how you can believe that I will not be a source of trouble, I'll just tell you that over the last 20 months I have run a parallel user account (my last undiscovered sock) who edited 0 political articles and was actually promoted to Admin. Regarding this admin, I quit using that account about 6 months after getting promoted. Eventually, you'll find some idle admin accounts and you'll probably guess which one was mine. One clue is that I had User:Kevin Baas on my watch list and occasionally reverted him as a logged out IP editor just to piss him off. Also, I am absolutely sure that User:Prometheuspan is a sockpuppet (takes one to know one), but if you guys can't see it, oh well. So you might ask yourselves "why would anyone bother with all this?". Well, it was simple; the wiki was (and still largely is) overrun with America hating left-wingers. My father served in Vietnam and he was injured a lot worse than that doofus John Kerry, so it just sort of pissed me off that Kerry was doing so much bragging. As for voting, I wasn't even able to vote in 2004, so I've never voted for Bush. I guess fighting the Liberals on the Misplaced Pages was my way of trying to help. As for why I seem "weird"; I was home schooled and I am borderline dyslexic. Sometimes, I have to go over things 5-6 times to understand them. So, you might imagine that when others on the wiki insulted my editing skills as deficient, I took it personally. As for User:Kizzle, I never replied to you before because I knew I'd be bailing soon, so what was the point? Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Also, as far as when I got myself "outed" as so-called User:Anon Texan, you guys should bear in mind that I was well aware that those IP's were being tracked and I was also aware of the few IP footprints I left which connected Merecat to Rex071404. But at that point I didn't care, because I knew I would be bailing this month anyway. Also, what you guys were not aware of, is the editing I did after April 05 (when Merecat was created) under my non-political sock. And again, why go through all the trouble? Well it's very simple: As I told Kizzle, in order to have expectations, you must 1st communicate. I needed to test, measure, test, measure, before I could conclude my views about Misplaced Pages. My conclusion is that at any given time there is a small group of biased editors such as User:Commodore Sloat, User:RyanFreisling, User:Kevin Baas, User:Nescio (and others from before such as user:Gamaliel, User:Derex, User:JamesMLane) who camp at political articles, quickly writing every negative snipe they read at DailyKos, DU and other crappy places. But these same editors are extremely slow to remove bad information once it becomes clear it's bad. However, as my victory over Nescio at Rationales to impeach George W. Bush proves, there is also now a core group of good editors such as User:Thatcher131, User:Tbeatty and User:Morton devonshire and others who are now beginning to turn the liberal tide. So all that said, I agree to quit and go away, likely to never return, (and certainly to never return as a sock or 3RR type) provided that I am allowed to actually quit and my user page and user talk page are both deleted (and protected against restoration), leaving only my quit message (see below). PS: I have no other sock puppets which I am keeping - kudos to your checkuser staff for sniffing me out, except please note that you missed these alternate accounts: User:Korn2bmild, User:Hdtopo, User:Armand Tanzarian, User:Armin Tanzarian, User:Armen Tamzarian, User:Armen Tanzarian and ソックスのパペット. FYI: Hdtopo is abbreviated Spanish for "Mole man". I was going to move him forward as a trojan horse, but I lost interest. Get it, "mole" man? As in KGB mole? Also, there was another Simpsons tie-in there. Anyway, best wishes, R704 03:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Ps: "Rex" was my ferret. I had to give him away last year because I was not allowed to bring him with me. That's why I chose "Merecat" because it reminded me of Meerkat which reminded me of Rex. Cal Burrattino was a twisted translation from "sockpuppet". Wombdpsw stood for WillieOnMichael'sBigDaddyPelicanShitWheels. Neutral arbiter was an obvious ploy to bug my foes. The un accountable IP addresses came from login on via friends PC's. The Texas IPs are my local ISP who I use here and the Google IP is accessed via this link: http://www.google.com/gwt/n Now I suppose revealing that Google link is going to piss off a few wiki editors because by my count at least 3-4 others have recently edited (legitimately) from that address, but I figured since I aggravated you guys enough, I owed you a good turn. So, like I told you all, the Google edits were done from my desktop, not a cellphone. It's up to you guys to decide if you want to block that. Also, will note that this request also applies to my IP page of User:216.153.214.94, which is where Rex always edited from and where this edit is coming from now via VNC (you can check your logs). Also, this .94 address was a game server behind a firewall on which I was one of the sysops, but that server is being booted off line this month as our gaming group is disbanding and we are taking that PC it's DSL line. (for that reason and for the reasons posted above, I won't be able to edit from .94 again, so this is the last time I can ask you from here to please delete the user and user talk pages there too.) Oh well, thanks for reading this. Final note: My initial Misplaced Pages editing adversary Ben (User:Neutrality) really did become a valuable wiki member. I was really surprised by that. I guess anything is possible. Please delete my pages and post my quit message as follows:

Thank you for the entertaining months, but oddly enough you fail to recognize that by your admission here you validate the charges in your RfC. Most civil to finally acknowledge that you are a disruptive editor. Nomen Nescio

goodbye?

I posted your request on WP:ANI. Thatcher131 11:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

ANI has indicated you should blank your own talk page(s) and place a speedy-delete tag on you user page(s). Thatcher131 16:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Bye Merecat

Hope you return one day, I appreciated your help in removing the horribly bias edits that plagued some articles and your help in fighting against accusations that eventuall spread to me. What an intimidation tactic RFCU's can be, I am still waiting on my apologies ... better not hold my breath. Hopefully you will return one day, till then.Zer0faults (talk · contribs)

• Strange comment, suggesting familiarity, from this user who has never met Rexie or the abusive sock Merecat, Especially since the accusations regarding Rex turn out to be correct. As evidence of faulty logic this user falsely claims the CU proves he is innocent of being another sock. This is incorrect. The RFCU he refers to on his userpage said there was no clear evidence he was a sock. Not being able to prove someone is a sock is not the same as having proven he is not a sock. Slight difference in meaning. As to the IP's, you know they could be Rex or even you according to the results. Feel free to continue defending a known troll, surely this is more than just being friendly.218.149.163.158 16:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • People would take you seriously if you had an account, unfortunatly you are just a sockpuppet of a well known user that always advances "logical fallacy." --zero faults 13:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Later Rex. Good luck on your tour of duty, and thanks for fighting for our country. --kizzle 18:17, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Goodbye my friend. Hail and fare well. Morton devonshire 07:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Cute

But you didn't prove that conservative editors are opposed. You proved that being abrasive, argumentative, and determining who think you need to do battle against by pigeonholing who's liberal and not will get you opposed. Treating other people like things to play with 'just to piss off' is opposed. Actually working on writing the encyclopedia isn't opposed. Good research trumps any bias; fighting is a waste of time.

If it's all a "test" like you say, then maybe the best response is at {{test}} etc.

Best of luck and be safe, but good riddance from Misplaced Pages. KWH 04:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
