[WikiEN-l] My complaint about being blocked. Now you can compare...

[l'Omnivore Sobriquet]

hello, quick amendments:

"It made no contributions elsewhere, even to the Talk: page of the article 
in question"
    This has been well explained in the following of my message, it is a 
fine wiki-ethical usage all along. This is a truncation you're reading, rely 
on full version instead. (posted here 40 minutes before Jay's, your time)

"and certainly appeared to be a revert sockpuppet"
    It wasn't, and didn't appear as such then, as I explained in my message.
 Please don't  resort to "it's our experience that..." kind of argument; 
we're not meant to guess. The number of possible logical cases of behavours 
identical to mine while not being a internet sockpuppet is so high that in 
25000 years time one still wouldn't have digested it. That you are 'not used 
to forsee' such or such is of no importance, concerning the veracity of 
being a such said sockpuppet. It may change a bit for the explanation of 
Jay's behaviour yes, reacting to some 'well known pattern', well known by a 
particuliar 'Wikipedia' staff and time etc., but changes stricly nothing on 
whether it is actual sockpupetting, created solely for the... etc.

"Moreover, the subject of this article (Israel Shamir) has been consistently 
vandalizing it"
    Not at all. See talk, see history; Shamir just intervened some three or 
five times if memory serves, weeks or months ago, civil and compliant at 
that. In fact we have one, possibly multiple, swift reverts from Jayjg 
and/or this Denis Diderot fame-seeker (shame-finder) without one word of an 
explanation, I repeat, without one word of explanation.

"He also appealed for friends of his to come and revert the article for him 
on a Yahoo group called Shamir readers:"
    It makes no mention of reverts.

"Even if this editor is not a sockpuppet, I'm quite skeptical that this 
userid was created with Wikipedia's goals and policies in mind. > Jay."
    Black magic again.

I'm not wild-eyed by this all comrades, and Jay is not the devil incarnate. 
But I'm hurt and there should not be such a quasi-fetichist way for a 
wiki-reaction.
So I'm waiting for good outcome, so I'm patient.
