Oh, act your age - not your shoe size.

Your reading comprehension skills are pisspoor, you've a persecution complex, and you wilfully ignore good advice. In no way did I set out to sabotage you contributing here. I offered some advice and you chose to completely misinterpret it, splattered recent changes with churlish whining that I was persecuting you to the point of a breakdown, and somehow this is all my fault? I can't take responsibility for your inability to deal with reality.

I'm not accepting that your accusations have any merit whatsoever. You demonstrate the reading comprehension failing perfectly above; no "normal" person would interpret BloodRedSandman's remark about not blocking as a threat, you did. You've obviously taken on-board tho idiocy from one or two other Wikipedians who've disagreed with myself, and you're running with it.

Perhaps, gasp!, I'm another tentacle of the mass conspiracy that outed your socks on Wikipedia, forced you to ArbCom sanctions you couldn't adhere to, and - eventually - saw you permanently blocked for your actions; why, it's like something out of an X-rated Manga cartoon!

I can't believe someone had the nerve to try and tell me you're supposedly twice my age. You certainly don't act it, you've had a sense-of-humour bypass, and you're so over-sensitive that I'd be unsurprised if you accused someone in the same train carriage as you with flatulence of possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Someone, please, pass the Brussels sprouts.

Thanks Brian for you kind and encouraging words. I will leave wikinews. ArbCom did not sanction me at wp. They were still considering the parameters of my mentoring when I was blocked by a vested editor. You are misinformed, just as you are misinformed that I have said I am a forensic psychiatrist. I am not a psychiatrist.

I was blocked by an invested admin (who has since ceased editing) on wp. I was wrong to use sockpuppets there, but I never harmed an article, vandalized, personally attacked anyone, etc. If you actually look at my editing there, you will see that I was an excellent editor, reviewed hundreds of articles for FAC and GAN and was blocked because I alienated a particular editor who others are afraid to stand up against. All of the admins involved in blocking me were vested; none were disinterested. There are many more editors on wp that respect me. I urge you to look through my editing history, including the sockpuppets and find any bad edits I made. I know I made a bad error in using sockpuppets, but most of the sockpuppets did little or no editing (most of them being others using my computer). The few that did significant editing, did nothing to harm articles but only improved them. FAC and GAN are hurting for reviewers now that I am gone and my copy editing skills are no longer rescuing articles and pushing them through FAC and GAN.

But you are right, of course and I will leave wikinews as you have made it clear your distaste of me. I am sorry not to remain to allow you to use me as a target for you "witicisms.

Here we go with the "other people using my computer" shtick. It didn't wash with ArbCom on enWP, it doesn't wash with me, nor will it do so with a community of critical-thinking journalists.

Your account of history does not tie with the actual edit history on enWP. You're still shouting "I did nothing wrong"; and, you know what? I didn't even look at your Wikipedia history until you went into hysterics that I was part of the same Cabal you are, once again, claiming unjustly ran you off enWP.

In any case, you'd not be screaming "I'm leaving", and sashaying out the door again if you had not been daft enough to try and come to the defence of a homophobe.
