Please consider this thread officially closed. Continuing it further can have no possible positive value; on the contrary, it's actively hurtful. If you want to start a new thread discussing the issues in a generic way, go ahead, but be aware that bullying will not be tolerated. Austin

[Wikimedia-l] The end

I've just been blocked forever. I've been bullied, and I'm having suicidal thoughts. I don't know what to do now. Right now I'm reaching out to anyone who might listen. I've been called obsessive, someone who attacks people, I've not been listened to and I've been lectured on policy by
