[WikiEN-l] ZOMG Wikipedia is TERRORIST!!1!1!!!!

[Shane Simmons]

It's merely a response to him being blocked from editing for legal threats.
He tried to make good on them and failed.[1]

According to the article on him he is "a former U.S. federal prison
inmate"[2]. If the article is accurate, I feel a little bit bad for him...
Also looks like he's written a book called "Extraterrestrials And Sex"[3]. I
can only wonder why.
