Please leave the internet alone.  You don't understand it. 
Go play with your own toys.

Hello,
 
You do not understand the issues here, so perhaps,
it is best for you to sit this one out on the side.
 
Why must I become involved in the Wikipedia website? 
If there is offending or inaccurate content, about me, 
my business or family, why should I be required to 
become a user and edit the content?
 
I am interested to learn why you thought I would be 
interested in your comments.
 
 
Regards,

this is a form letter. i know because other people discussing this got the same one. who gets snarky in a form letter?

We are entering a future in which every person on the
planet is in relationship.  Many of the people on this 
planet are not nice, Mr Regards.  People are going to 
say mean things about you.  That does not give you the 
right to *carelessly* attempt to disrupt the great 
Intellectual Project which this century is about to be the 
culmination of.  If you are going to attempt to disrupt it, 
do it because you understand what is happening.
 
The force that created Wikipedia is now quite possibly 
irresistably strong.  It is, at any rate, without any 
doubt to a prodigious strength, to a strength at which 
the only act which would halt its culmination would be a 
Complete Transformation of our society, a total reversal 
of deeply held norms & morals of the people of this 
world.  It is not vulnerable to class action lawsuits. 
It is not a tamed tiger.  It will devour the unwary.
 
That force is information technology, Moore's Law.  
It is a rabbit hole that we have stumbled into.  We 
found a trillion trillion unwritten pages, and now 
anyone can write.  The scitzophrenics will write.  
The robots will write.  There is enough space to write 
every truth and every falsehood, echoing, repeating 
in a thousand different tongues.

I have found that a brain is a tough thing to crack. 
Sometimes a knock won't seem to do anything at first. 
The same old ideas still hold in their same patterns. 
Then, hit again, you break, you learn, you remember.
 
So knock my brain, if you think you can: Isn't a 
publically created narrative a Right of this infant 
culture?

<3,

here i started getting all artsy.

Hello,
 
There is nothing careless about my efforts.  Each step is 
premeditated and designed for a specific cause and effect.
 
As to the rest of your piece, the only issue here is that 
the publishers of Wikipedia wish to disown the defamatory 
writings of individuals they permit to use their service.  
All publishers must be held accountable for the works which 
they allow to be published.  They can remove the offending 
content and ensure that it does not re-appear or they can 
be driven out of existence and wish they had.
 
Regards,

he's obviously from some other planet, other than the internet, which would explain why he topposts (i've cut from the bottom his unedited quotes of my emails), but i think probably even on that planet you are supposed to sign your name after your signature. maybe he signs the printouts.

Unless your goal is to become infamous, be ridiculed, waste 
people's time and then be thrown out of court, you are 
choosing your efforts incorrectly.

There ARE NO PUBLISHERS ANYMORE.  These are infinitely 
reproducible bytes of INFORMATION on a NETWORK.  The old 
rules CANNOT apply.  Wikipedia data, for instance, is 
stored in countless places and owned by no one in 
particular.  Trying to eliminate any piece of information 
from anywhere on the internet is morally and practically 
equivalent to trying to eliminate the color green.
 
Any article which you mention as an example of inaccurate 
or disallowed information will BECAUSE of your mentioning 
it be reproduced many extra thousands of times.  This has 
been established over & over, going back at least as far 
as the E911 document.  You are fighting a hydra.  Stronger 
people than you have failed.  The Government of the United 
States has tried with great strength and failed.  The cat 
is out of the bag.

Is there some reason you don't sign your emails?
 
<3,
mungojelly

more forthcoming if i continue to succeed in wasting this deluded fellow's time. oh well, that's what you get if you go randomly attacking things you don't understand.

it might, of course, be a fun hoax. i'm just hoping.
