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.

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 both involved and has done more than his fair share of attacking me in the past and present). Therefore I have no logical reason to harass any admin on Wikipedia. The reasoning of "Nathan is a blocked user therefore he harbours negative feelings toward Wikipedia and would take them out on admins" is faulty logic.
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 last time I used university/college facilities to browse the Internet was in 2001-2002 when my ex-girlfriend (then-girlfriend) was attending university. Before that, somewhere in 1999-2000 when I was living in Toronto.
3) I have been using the Internet since 1995 and therefore consider my knowledge of the way things work[tm] to be above average. Anyone can forge e-mail headers and claim to be anyone else just like anyone can do the above and attribute it to someone else. Just because "it looks like Nathan did it" doesn't make it true. Also "it's true because I say it is" also doesn't make it true.
I 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.
Further, I would like all questions regarding any suspicious activities I'm suspected of being involved in brought to me directly so that I may confirm or deny them myself.
If ANYONE has any questions about this e-mail, please feel free to e-mail me and I will address them.
Thanks, Nathan (User:Nathanrdotcom) Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
