Calling Wikipedians (esp admins)

[info]sammymorse has had his account suspended for no sane reason and could do with some help getting it back.

I've not even got a Wiki account, let alone admin priviledges, but I know a fair few reading this use the place a lot; I've met him a few times, and can definitely vouch that he is who he says. Suckpuppets are annoying, but this isn't the way to deal with it.

I've now found my editing privileges (on this computer anyway) blocked for a week after coming to [info]sammymorse's defence. Everything behind this points towards a user called "Hayden5650", who is really a Nazi from New Zealand by the name of Hayden Armstrong, and who has a record as long as your arm for Wikipedia vandalism, notably on such subjects as the Holocaust and homosexuality.

Aye, I saw the links to the 'homosexual agenda' stuff, both pointless and nasty.

It's this sort of thing that puts me off the site, too many idiots with axes to grind, and far too many trolls prepared to abuse it, meaning the idiots get evidence too often :-(

Introspection

I'm Mat Bowles, a Devonshire lad displaced to Yorkshire. I'm a part-time analyst, marketer and website manage, although mostly I'm a house-husband.

Wikio - Top BlogsThis is my personal general interest journal where I write about or link to whatever I've fond that amused, intrigued or enraged me at the time. I'm a committed liberal, equalist and atheist, but I really like it when people can demonstrate I'm wrong, and have close friends with whom I completely disagree on some if not all of those points.

Coalition For Choice

There probably ought to be a Creative Commons licence in here somewhere but in the meantime consider this permission to quote me (link) & link to what I write.

If you decide to keep reading, please do say hello, let me know where you found me from, etc. I promise not to bite (well, unless you want me to...)
