Be more careful
editI do not understand why my IP address at this location has been blocked.
Also, nearly one month ago, while I was unsigned, I received some harsh random scolding for things I never really did (this appeared as a "message" to the "user" [my IP address]). That angered me so much, I did not even try to understand what it said.
Yesterday or so, I was still able to edit articles while unsigned, but today I cannot do it neither signed-in nor unsigned-in, because I am blocked. What happened?
I just want to keep improving some articles, and this happens out of nowhere.
I wish you did not scold people unless you are completely sure you did not overlook a possible collateral damage. --Nidorino 19:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
