Apparently, for following Wikipedia policy and bringing my complaints, I have been blocked.
I am not going to swear at you, despite SlimVirgin's lies and David Gerard's profanity.
But I hope you are happy. I now know why Wikipedia isn't worth anything. It's because Wikipedia policy isn't worth the electrons used to store it.
All Wikipedia Admins ARE Rogue Admins.

Even if you were not a sockpuppet, by some miracle, it is still clear that you are too annoying for us to tolerate you in our community. I promise: it's not just a couple of admins in this case. :)
If you'd like to setup a Wiki just for annoying probable socks of KainTheScion and other of your ilk, drop me a line and I can help you setup mediawiki.

If all Wikipedia admins are rogue admins, what constitutes a non-rogue admin?
Does this mean I get to call myself "The Rogue"? I've always wanted a cool nickname.

"Anyone can edit" - but if Admins don't agree with your edits they will block you upon a whim.
"If you believe the block is unwarranted email the one who blocked you" - which will of course be completely useless when you have an admin pushing a particular POV.
"Or else you can email the Wikien-l mailing list" - except you really can't, because it's a clique of admins who couldn't care less about the rules, just slapping each other on the back for making sure they're the only ones in Wikipedia. And actually making complaints will get you banned.
YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF SORRY HYPOCRITES.

Hey, you didn't answer my questions! I think I'm going to go "rogue" and block you now, for no reason. Because that's, you know, what we admins do.

I would probably have blocked this email address from the mailing list on sight. Hotmail permits a user to choose his username and this can have been chosen for no other purpose than to annoy.
There's what was it - 500-600 admins? Surely you can't accuse them all of not caring about the rules? Sure, sometimes people get blocked by mistake.
I once blocked someone (Sam Spade I think) for a 3RR violation. Technically speaking I was wrong, but instead of calling me a liar, Sam engaged in a civil and friendly discussion with me. He pointed out the differences in the diffs and ended up temporarily not editing the article in question after he was unblocked.
What I'm trying to say is that you will probably reach a lot more by not calling ALL admins rogue and saying SlimVirgin is a liar.

Personally I favor being a Barbarian Admin, although Archaeologist Admin is good for a change of pace, and Valkyrie Admin has its equipment advantages at lower levels.

I fancied being a Wizard, but then we'd end up being an offshoot of LambdaMOO.

What do you name your pet? But I digress. The ultimate Admin, of course, is the [[BOFH|Bastard Admin from Hell]].

He's just angry because all the databases are belong to us. So somebody set him up a joke hotmail account.

David and profanity? Maybe I missed it. I can't keep up with all these emails. What did he say?

I called him a "lying fuck". Which he is, but it's still unseemly. I have taken away my biscuit.
Now now, children. Play nice.

This is well beyond the point where Snord should have been blocked. Permitting him to troll like this can only encourage other trolls.
