I feel no sympathy for Nichalp or any such users. Per this discussion, he chose his path which is clearly against the aims of wikipedia. Somebody stated here that Nichalp himself appeared in this thread, so i assume, he has no intention to stop what he is doing. Why we should sympathize to hin?
Btw paid edits are bad and anything paid editor devoted is only money . What i feel funny is that the secret spy (gupt char) guy, who started this thread written it as a little tended to Nichalp, but what he really wanted is tearing the mask, has taken almost similar alleged modus operandi of Nichalp to publish his thought. :-). No allegation intended in this entire last paragraph, i've not seen him much ;-) if i'm wrong, i already regretted. :-) On 08/02/2012, Srikanth Ramakrishnan <parakara.gh...@gmail.com> wrote: > IT is sad, but true about what happened to Nicholas.
