<DIV>Someone sent an alert about a message that had to do with me, and I
was not too surprised to read another wave of flatulence from a
master baiter. I do not wish to waste much time on this pathetic,
tortured little creature who calls himself RK, who finds his daily redemption
in mountains of lies, slander, stalking people (like me) from
article to article, instigating trouble, and who takes pride in
being a charlatan (by making edits to articles he does not have the faintest
idea about, ex. Philosophy), a victim (re: his almost daily accusations of
anti-Semitism), and a fraudulent crusader (re: his daily strawman attacks, ex.
"Muslim and Christian apologetics", which have nothing to do with me but are a
reference to a passage, written by someone else, that RK kept deleting
for no reason and I merely restored.) But I don't want to depress anyone
reading this nonsensical material for the nth time - surely some of you share
my amu sement when RK calls people on NPOV, RK who keeps leaving "Nazipedia"
but for some reason doesn't fail to return to throw mud at even more people,
who deletes anything he doesn't like without explanation or discussion,
then wails "censorship!" and "no discussion!" when his versions are
rebuffed and no one replies to his screeds; who, hilariously, wrote
yesterday that "The only criticism that we should have, or link to, is
encyclopedia scholarly criticis" - this from a regular spammer of
flotsam!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>For anyone who wishes to understand the difference between my "out of
control" edits and the extremely careful edits of RK and co., here
are some links, which contain further links:</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>One of the pages that is not linked above is <A
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy</A>,
which had to be protected because the little worm started following me around
today (I spent a long time making extensive edits to the article
last night, which fellow contributors were more or less fine with), also
making an appearance at an article I created earlier and corrected yesterday
<A
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Possible_crisis_in_Western_publishing">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Possible_crisis_in_Western_publishing</A> . If
a user could be banned on grounds of harrassment, I believe RK
would have been kicked out a while ago. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, I'm off, but I AM sorry that you all have to be exposed to
such banalities, and I hope the rest of your day is more
interesting.</DIV></DIV>
