Hi,
I'm a blocked user (but I'm not here to discuss that) and I've been accused of something (else) that I didn't do so I'm here to clear the air:
Please direct your attention to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cyde&diff=79893307&a...
Specifically, this comment:
":::Your cryptic "cough, Nathan, cough" is, I take it, a reference to e-mails I supposedly sent to Nathandotcom. That was a banned user using my e-mail address, and he did the same to several other admins. The abuse was reported to his university who managed to identify him and it has stopped. Like Cyde, you need to learn all the facts before commenting on issues. Cyde, you're now calling me a "liar" over an issue that is my business, not yours, and that I know about, and you don't. I have asked you many times to stop raising the issue, stop gossiping about me and others, and to stop attacking me. I am hereby asking you again.

Quite honestly, I'm sick of being accused of things I didn't do by arrogant admins who think they're right.
Let me clear the air with the following points:
1) While I may have something against those involved in the situation that led to my blocking, I have absolutely nothing against any other admin of Wikipedia, save for Cyde (who was involved). Therefore I have no logical reason to harass any admin on Wikipedia.
2) I do not attend college or university nor have I ever in the past. When my userpage was visible, I clearly mentioned who my employer was. I'm the Director of Technical Services of xytra.net (Services Internet Xytra SENC of Gatineau, Quebec - this can be verified by e-mailing nathan@xytra.net or by asking info@xytra.net or support@xytra.net). Therefore these accusations that I have harassed any admin of Wikipedia are purely false. As I have said over and over, if someone's going to accuse me of something, at least provide proof. Proof wasn't given and it makes SlimVirgin out to be just ranting about nothing (apologies if this can be read as a personal attack).
The only places I access the Internet from are: my place of residence, my place of work and the home of my two co-workers.
The only times I have ever used universities or colleges for Internet access are: * 2001-2002 when my girlfriend (at the time) attended university * late 1990's when I lived in Toronto
4) Just because someone forged the e-mail addresses of admins and me being a blocked user, does that automatically mean "Nathanrdotcom has reason to harbour negative feelings towards Wikipedia as a whole and believes he has a reason to take it out on random admins"? No, of course it doesn't. Now I admit I have a mood disorder but I don't appreciate being accused of things I didn't do. I don't attack anyone without provocation. I have had a talk with Jimbo about my block - why would I contradict myself and start attacking random admins? It just doesn't add up.
5) I have used the Internet since 1995 and consider my knowledge of how things work[tm] to be better than average. On the Internet, anyone can forge anyone's identity, e-mail address or etc and deflect the blame to anyone else. In other words: Anyone can send an e-mail and claim to be me, that doesn't mean in any way that I was the person responsible. There are enough people on Wikipedia who dislike me (and plenty who have read that defamatory "article" about me on a..less than reputable Wiki and wish to manufacture some stunt to blame me for).
I really resent the implication that I would go around attacking other admins without provocation and I want it said for the record that I haven't been involved in such activities.
Honestly, SlimVirgin owes me an apology for her baseless accusations but it's highly unlikely that I'll get one.
If anyone has ANY questions regarding the above, I would appreciate it if you would please e-mail me and I'll answer rather than you making up your own information and calling it true.
Thank you for your time, Nathan (User:Nathanrdotcom) Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

You have completely misunderstood these comments. *Another editor* (not you) was forging headers, sending fake e-mails pretending to be various admins, requesting new passwords hundreds of times, and generally stirring up trouble. *That other editor* (not you) was attending a University, the abuse was reported, and *that other editor* (not you) was indentified and the abuse was stopped.
Jay.
