Jimbo,
This is User:JoeM from Wikipedia. I'm contacting you concerning my ban from
editing Wikipedia.
I want to apologize for some of my more rude behavior on your site. I at
times got too angry and enthusiastic in defending my views, and patriotism
is so important to me that I got a little out of control. I've had a lot of
time to think and cool off, though, and I'm not angry anymore, even at the
Communist and pro-terrorist users. My views on America and the importance of
defending freedom have not changed, but I now realize that the way I went
about stating these views only hurt the causes that were important to me.
If I am unblocked, I won't use sockpuppets anymore. I will not engage in
personal attacks. I won't engage in revert wars. I will calmly discuss my
edits and views on talk pages without attacking users that I disagree with.
and I will definitely never, ever vandalize pages again. I will respect the
principle of NPOV.
I think that the Wikipedia project has great potential to shine light on the
TRUTH that the mainstream media hides, and I'd like to be an active
contributor again to make sure the project reaches its full potential.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help get my account
back. I really want to help Wikipedia grow.
Your friend,
Joe M.
