Well, it's that time of year again. On December 22, I'm one year older. Looking back on last year, nothing much has changed. My real-life affairs are still a heap of dung, there's no use even going further into that. I'm banned from my favorite forum (RIO), I'm banned on every IRC channel on Freenode, I'm also banned from Wikipedia. Every time I go to do something, I have to stop and take five minutes to get straight all the truth, the lies, the sockpuppets, formulating arguments, presenting my point, et cetera. I don't really know why this is. I'm arguing like a lawyer every day to defend myself against accusations of trolling, disruption, and sockpuppetry, and I'm not getting paid. It was discussed earlier that bans for sockpuppeting were pointless. I agreed. I say that as Two-Sixteen, I was contributing fine, and that showed, if anything, that I was able to edit peacefully. Why would someone simply refute evidence of my goodness and then say it was "bad" because I was banned before, and then ignore the fact that I could edit peaceably and ban me, removing a source of good content to satisfy ego? I don't know. I'm not sure why this is even an issue. I wish we could just get rid of all the blocks, the bans, the constructed bullshit, and just start fresh. No bias, no prejudice against people for whatever stupid reasons. Just start with a clean slate, everyone forgives everyone else their trespasses. Perhaps a New Years tradition? I wish I could just go back to editing. Could someone just help me?

Well, that's probably going to generate a lot of "No" responses.
I'm probably way to generous today for some reason, but would there be any objections to unprotecting Flameviper's talk page and letting him edit an article of his choice on his talk page ?
I know his latest message is once again trolling and we're all getting pretty fed up of him, but the guy seems to have some interest in editing Wikipedia in addition to his love of trolling us all on a regular basis. -- Nick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nick
