Ok I am having major problems here. Can someone who has experienced this help me out?? When the admins are just targeting you. I still cannot believe this. There is vandalism going on in the pages of so many that I edited and everyone agreed on, now people are changing it to make it seem so biased. Take a look at "ball hog" article for instance why is there a picture of KOBE BRYANT on it??? It is total bias.

Two invaluable pieces of advice.
1. Calm down. Acting in an irrational fashion is going to cause people to label you as an idiot who shouts, screams and rants like a child, and who therefore isn't worth helping with...
2. Discuss it on the relevant talk pages. If a consensus cannot be reached or if problems begin to occur, raise a request for comment on the specific page - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment - and bring the matter to a wider audience.
Please remember that admins on this site are a bunch of editors with a few extra tools. Their purpose is not to serve as moderators of content; I'm of the school of thought that when it comes to resolving a content dispute, the admin's job is akin to dragging apart two fighting children and holding them apart until they calm down and begin to resolve their differences.
Stop posting to the mailing list with long rants full of capitalisation, cul-de-sac arguments, irrelevant points, etc. Get the simplest facts out, and someone will help. Confuse and annoy the shit out of people, and they'll respond by deleting your posts.
