Wikipedia Hoists the White Flag

Someone at Wikipedia has re-written my entire article, or rather trimmed it down to nothing. No outright lies--which is all I ever asked. What there is of it is vicious and filled with hatred and petty spite, but that's all in a day's work for me. Like Commander Rockwell used to say, "Hate, boys! Keeps me young!"

You see, droogs? It is possible for the little guy to win one every now and then, so long as you just plain refuse to let the assholes push you around. Illegitimi non carborundem!

Wiki-Penitent

To be completely fair and honest, I have received several responses from Wikipedia editors who are quite familiar with the problems of left-wing, liberal bias and (apparently even more so) just plain personal malice at Wikipedia. If you are one of these, I apologize for tarring you all with the same brush--but a man is known by the company he keeps, and maybe you need to start re-thinking the company you keep.

For those of you who wish to contact me personally, my e-mail is nwnet@earthlink.net Unlike Wikipedia editors who hide behind computer keyboards and pseudonyms in order lie and defame other people, there is no mystery as to who I am, what I think and believe, or where I can be found.

P. S: It's best to e-mail me directly. You can post comments here if you want to say something to me, but I won't be approving any, the reason being that the Usual Suspects always accuse me of "sock-puppetry" when people agree with me, so I figure we'll just nip that whole issue right in the bud.

Wikpedia Bans This Site

Wikipedia has now banned this web site from posting on any of their pages, claiming that it is "spam."

Yeah, right. First time I've ever heard spam officially defined as "saying something a small clique of lefty-lib kooks doesn't like."

Nonetheless, we press onward and upwards. Better living through chemistry! Excelsior!

Looks Like I Spoke Too Soon

Yeah, looks like we're off to the races again. Damn, they were on it fast!

Now it's over a link to false and defamatory material which someone has determined is fucking well going to be in that article, no matter that it is from a source with a clear ideological agenda and a clear bias against the subject which renders it utterly unreliable and utterly unfit for use as a source.

Aaaand...they've now locked the whole page down, with the defamatory link still in place. So I wait until they unlock it, and we go around and around again. Plus whatever little gremlin-like anti-Wiki things I can get up to in the meantime.

Eternal Vigilance Is The Price Of Not Having Idiots Lie About You On Wikipedia

Okay, I removed the false and defamatory material from my Wikipedia entry, and it has stayed gone for almost a week now.

It's possible this is a ploy on the Goat Dancers' part, hoping I will lose interest, wander off, get slack and forget to monitor the entry every day, but nonetheless it's a step in the right direction.

I am not hollering "Victory!" yet. Nor can I ever. As long as that entry remains editable, the Goat Dancers and the cyber-stalkers and the general malicious creeps could be back fucking with it and provoking more page lockdowns tomorrow.

P.S. Oops! Spoke too soon. Memo to self; monitor the whole article, Harold. Spotted where a Goat Dancer tried to sneak in a link to false and defamatory material and removed it. So it wasn't an olive branch after all; they were just trying to be underhanded and sneak the lies in under the radar [sigh...]

Cautiously Optimistic

Wikipedia's secret command center where they decide who will be viciously lied about today.

Okay, the one reference and malicious link to false and defamatory material on my article was blown away and has not been restored for almost three days. Maybe they're all napping or on vacation or whatever in the Wiki-zoo this week.

I know better than to claim "victory." As long as that page remains editable by every Goat Dancing Tom, Dick, and Morris, I am going to have to watch it like a hawk. But it is true that the link to the lies has been allowed to vanish for three days. Maybe that's their idea of a "peace offering."

Still no official response of any kind to the at least half dozen official complaints I filed with Wikipedia two weeks ago alleging defamation and requesting the initiation of the formal mediation process, but it could be that the failure of a Wiki-kook to restore the defamatory material is their way of sending me a smoke signal. We'll see how long this lasts.

"Dear Mr. Covington..."

Excerpt from an e-mail received from a quondam Wikipedia editor who has had problems with the Wiki-zoo in the past:

"Dear Mr. Covington:

"...You're damned right these assholes [Wikiepedia editors] can recognize a troll or a cyber-stalker when they see one. What do you think most of them spend their own time doing? These guys live on the internet. When they're not screwing around on Wikipedia they're gaming."

Yeah, I figured.
