Ah, but there is one circumstance in which such accessing of Wikipedia is not an illegal act. That is when its purpose is to stop Wikipedia committing an illegal act upon you.
No, an "eye for an eye" is not legal doctrine. You may disagree, but I would strongly counsel against following it. You may well end up being prosecuted at the request of, or sued by, people who are less easy-going that we are.
Wikipedia is committing an illegal act upon me by trying to ignore my citation, made by email to Jimmy Wales as well as on this list, for it to the remove every word I have ever contributed to Wikipedia, on grounds of copyright violation and ides theft, and ensure they stay removed despite the public editability of pages.
Everying you contributed was relised uner the GFDL. We correctly credit you. You have no case.
Geni is wholly correct. There is no possible way in which you can have your words withdrawn. That's what the licence contract says. If you didn't read it, well, that's unfortunate. For you.
