Blocked

You are blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Rinpoche, and for socking with User:JemimaWales. Risker (talk) 04:29, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Not familar with User:Rinpoche, sorry. I confess indeed to knowing J rather well, although it is supposed to be all rather hush hush - thanks a lot. Not one of her very many socks, sorry again.

I suspect there's probably something you are not quite understanding here.

It's a pity I can't now continue with the program I had embarked upon of injecting some degree of scholarship in Wikipedia's bio of van Gogh, a subject I dare say I am at least as expert and passionate about as you are in James Blunt. Imagine.

If you have time away from your numerous duties protecting the reputation and privacy of your fellow Wikipedia administrators and editors, perhaps you can tell me which of my edits you took exception to, prompting you to block me? Skirtopodes (talk) 14:11, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I see J actually posted in James Blunt! She is a card is she not and make no mistake. Posting about James' privacy was probably some kind of message I should think, though to tell the truth I haven't the faintest idea quite what is going on here. I shall diplomatically include myself strictly out. You surely weren't concerned about her Abu Qatada edits, surely? I mean that's what she does (it's what we all do, you at least fathomed that?) and I have to say I'm surprised you have a problem with it, coming from a democracy the last time I looked. Anyway we are all retiring a few weeks hence. Skirtopodes (talk) 16:26, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
