Bwahahaha, Freeper cries like a baby because Wikipedia banned him from editing political content

I have been a registered editor at wikipedia for about two and a half years.

The following restriction was just placed on me:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive572#Grundle2600:_continued_problems

"Grundle2600 is subject to an indefinite topic ban - he is prohibited from editing any pages relating to US politics or politicians. The ban will be enforced by escalating blocks."

As a so-called justification for this restriction, the following contributions by me to wikipedia were cited:

"On April 20, 2009, Obama convened his Cabinet for the first time, and ordered them to reduce the $3.5 trillion federal budget by $100 million." Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/19/AR2009041902009.html

"In February 2009, U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) expressed concern that Obama's czars might violate the U.S. Constitution, because they were not approved by the U.S. Senate." Source: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/19303.html "U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) expressed a similar concern in September 2009." Source: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/59071-feingold-questions-obama-czars

"In September 2009, Obama's green czar Van Jones resigned after conservatives pointed out that he was a self described 'communist' and had blamed George W. Bush for the September 11 attacks." Source: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/09/06/phil-kerpen-van-jones-resign/

"In September 2009, it was reported that Kevin Jennings, Obama's Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, had written about his past frequent illegal drug use in his 2007 autobiography." Source: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/23/critics-assail-obamas-safe-schools-czar-say-hes-wrong-man-job/

"Obama fired the CEO of General Motors..." Source: http://www.suntimes.com/business/1501561,w-obama-gm-wagoner032909.article "... and had the government take 60.8% ownership of the company." Source: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/us_owned_gm_rolls_off_the_lot_7MTALtVxWbRUK0OCm4uQgK

"During the Chrysler bankruptcy, Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock accused Obama of violating the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and more than 150 years of bankruptcy law by treating secured creditors worse than unsecured creditors." Source: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=32074

"In August 2009, Obama supported $2 billion in loan guarantees to fund offshore drilling." Source: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/20/loan-brazilian-oil-company-riles-conservatives-favor-offshore-drilling/

"In May 2009, the Obama administration dismissed charges that had been filed by the Bush administration against members of the New Black Panther Party who had been videotaped intimidating voters and brandishing a police-style baton at a Philadelphia polling station during the November 2008 election." Sources: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/05/28/justice-department-drops-charges-in-voter-intimidation-case/ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/05/29/charges-black-panthers-dropped-obama/ "In August 2009, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights demanded that the Justice Department explain why it dismissed the charges." Source: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/aug/04/panel-demands-panther-answers/

"In June 2009, Obama fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin, after Walpin accused Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson, an Obama supporter, of misuse of AmeriCorps funding to pay for school-board political activities. In a letter to Congress, the White House said that Walpin was fired because he was 'confused, disoriented, unable to answer questions and exhibited other behavior that led the Board to question his capacity to serve.' Source: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23831.html "A bipartisan group of 145 current and former public officials, attorneys, and legal scholars signed a letter that was sent to the White House, which defended Walpin, said the criticisms of him were not true, and said that his firing was politically motivated." Source: http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/47280-allies-of-official-fired-by-obama-mount-defense

"In July 2009, White House reporter Helen Thomas criticized the Obama administration for what she considered to be a lack of transparency." Source: http://www.breitbart.tv/white-house-reporters-grill-gibbs-over-selected-questions-for-obama/

"In March 2007, Obama said, 'I don’t think we’re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There’s going to be, potentially, some transition process...'" Source: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0809/25779.html

"In September 2009, senior presidential adviser David Axelrod reiterated Obama's opposition to repealing the ban on interstate sales of health insurance." Source: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0909/09/sitroom.01.html

2. Interesting. I'm a really, really casual Wikipedia user...
...and Grundle2600 rang a bell with me. I can only imagine how blatant he was to those who are neck-deep in it.

6. I love the user name.
"Grundle2600".

I wonder if he knows what a "grundle" is?

(2600 is a hacker magazine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2600_The_Hacker_Quarterly)

7. Actually on the Atari 2600 there was an extremely popular game named "Adventure"
The dragons were named Yorgle, Rhindle, and "Grundle".

Perhaps that's where.

10. He doesn't seem like such a bad guy
But he leaves a few things out of his complaint, like when he tagged an article about the Obama presidency as an advertisement.
