It looks like Guy Chapman is definitely reading this list and is active on Wikipedia -- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:%24_London_Apartments&am.... He still hasn't answered my polite e-mails, though, so I have to conclude he's just being arrogant and rude.

It also appears that the Stalinist hive-mind has a "flexible" definition of what constitutes "spam". A few "nofollow" links to London apartment pages on a User page = spam. Nearly 3,000 links to a for-profit Google AdSense funded operation that gets exemptions from "nofollow" and often points to wikis that have, at best, two active editors in the past month and/or less than 5 edits overall in a month = not spam. Reporting on this "not spam" = blockable offense from an admin who ignores e-mails.

If you Wikipedians are proud of this type of work, keep it up. It only generates MORE of an urge to expose the hypocrisy.

If you mail was anything like this one, I'd ignore it too.
