I think He's a hacker. He sent me an email about getting high
and staying up until four am and dumping the edits. Rob, are you sure he's an admin,
or do you think this guy's just messing with our heads? Somebody ought to find a
contact somewhere on the cite and ask if this asshole is really part of their team.
(forgive my french.) Let's all do it okay? Send this email back through and
we'll all find a phone number there within 48 hrs. and call!

Hi,
I tried again to create a username and predictably the self
described
angry Wikipedia admin username, Freakofnurture, immediately blocked
me from
editing. The name I choose was "Even Small Children Can Edit
Wikipedia" and
his explanation is "yep, and i'm keeping it safe for them". It's
curious
how this person became an admin, being so angry, his consistent not
assuming
good faith and not being genuine in his communications. It seems
in the
wikipedia user-space there is plenty of room for anger and
nastiness and not
much for humor.
I've got an idea. Stop registering inflammatory usernames and we'll
stop blocking them.
For those who like their drama, select from the following responses:
"Won't somebody please think of the children!?"
"Oh my god, it's admin abuse! I am shocked to my very core."
and
"Where are we going, and what's with the handbasket?"
