Just letting you know that I just sent you an e-mail. Part of the e-mail regards a time-sensitive issue so I would request you take a look as soon as you can. Thanks - ] 04:55, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Rogerman


My comments here will be short and to the point: I'm no longer taking part here. I have received an astounding amount of support, especially by email, but it's time to go. I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break.

I've enjoyed my time here, and done much good work; my time, however, is over, and leaving is the best thing for me and for Misplaced Pages. I walk away happy to be free to go about other things. I hope others will refocus the energy they have spent the past few days in defending and denouncing me to make something here at Misplaced Pages better.
I've been e-mailed by another user about events on that site. Do you want me to weigh in and support your account of events which I know to be true? As a well known athiest I'm obviously not part of the so called "cabal" and as an ex-system manager these time wasters drive me nuts. My gut feeling is to ignore them as much as poss as you can never kill a good conspiracy story but if you think it would help to have an "outsider" back you up i'm happy to do so.

:I wouldn't waste your time. Trying to meet conspiracy theories with common sense and/or the truth won't do anything to change the people inclined to believe conspiracy theories, and will end up wasting your time. I generally just ignore them, and they eventually go away to find someone who will actually respond to thier trolling. <font color=#696969>] <sup>] • ]</sup></font> 01:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I really don't mind you posted me a note in English :o) My request is still valid, the bot need to be deflagged. I have no idea, why Jon Harald marked it done, maybe it is the error in Matrix somewhere. Thanks --] 10:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, the steward interface was disconnected from en for a while, due to the moving of the servers. Any changes that were made through the Meta interface during that time appeared to have been done when you checked the logs there, but did not actually go through, because the meta servers could not reach the en servers.

Greeting Essjay, thanks for your report on my RFCU. I may have been mistaken on who the party the sockpuppets were of but now that your report is in I'm 100% sure that they are sockpuppets of the indefinitely blocked {{user|Vkasdg}}. As well I'm 100% sure that the individual posing as {{user|ScottRR}} was created by the same individual who created {{user|Netsсott}} and has been editing under the IPs of {{user|216.165.12.100}}, {{user|216.165.12.101}} and {{user|216.165.12.102}}. ] 06:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:Yes, Vkasdg does appear to be the puppetmaster, and was responsible for the imposter Netscott account. Also included are:

*{{vandal|Lkjmn}}
*{{vandal|Arkmar}} (No contribs, potentially a sleeper.)
*{{vandal|Мuslim on Wheels!!!}}
*{{vandal|Wawwaw}}

I'm still looking into it, and will keep you up to date. <font color=#696969>] <sup>] • ]</sup></font> 06:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

::Too funny! This vandal has a habit of using proxies to evade blocks...

I've been working the ] case for awhile and now it's all finally paying off! Yes! ] 07:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:Just be sure to tag them all with {{tl|zombie proxy}} rather than {{tl|open proxy}}, so others will know they won't scan as open. Now, paging Mr. Vandal, you have more zombies to tell us about! <font color=#696969>] <sup>] • ]</sup></font> 07:02, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Now if actually had just a few proxies, replying here would actually matter. But it doesn't, because that's not the case. :) ] 07:04, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm done for today. Enjoy blocking them, and as always, Netscott is gay. ] 07:06, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

My comments here will be short and to the point: I'm no longer taking part here. I have received an astounding amount of support, especially by email, but it's time to go. I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break.

I ask that the first steward to see this message please remove my various flags from this wiki, as well as from Meta, Commons, and Wikiquote, and remove the bot flags from my bots, which of course will no longer be running. My tools will be taken down shortly.
