Rex071404

Owing to the fact that my unit has been activated and I am Being pOsted tO a new location for an extended tour of duty, I will no lonGER be in Texas. For your information, I've been able to edit from several IP's including my current home in Texas because I was able to persuade a few friends and family to let me run RealVNC on their home computers/game servers/office PC's. However, now that my sockpuppets have been killed off and because I am being relocated and because I think I've made my point, and because we all have to grow up someday, I am content to quit for the indefinite future. Due to relocation issues beyond my control, I will not have internet access on any kind of regular basis for 18 months, which at my age, is a lifetime. If and/or when I ever return, it will be under a single new user account and I will not be a source of trouble. However, in order for this promise to be binding on me, I ask that my request (which I am making here now) to delete and protect my user page and user talk page (same as [[user:katefan0]] did) be honored. Basically, why I came back as Merecat was to prove that conservative editors are always opposed and I feel that I proved that. The RfC on Merecat [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Merecat]] made clear that Merecat was not as bad as [[User:Rex071404]], but he was still opposed. Now as to how you can believe that I will not be a source of trouble, I'll just tell you that over the last 20 months I have run a parallel user account (my last undiscovered sock) who edited 0 political articles and was actually promoted to Admin. Regarding this admin, I quit using that account about 6 months after getting promoted. Eventually, you'll find some idle admin accounts and you'll probably guess which one was mine. One clue is that I had [[User:Kevin Baas]] on my watch list and occasionally reverted him as a logged out IP editor just to piss him off. Also, I am absolutely sure that [[User:Prometheuspan]] is a sockpuppet (takes one to know one), but if you guys can't see it, oh well. So you might ask yourselves "why would anyone bother with all this?". Well, it was simple; the wiki was (and still largely is) overrun with America hating left-wingers. My father served in Vietnam and he was injured a lot worse than that doofus [[John Kerry]], so it just sort of pissed me off that Kerry was doing so much bragging. As for voting, I wasn't even able to vote in 2004, so I've never voted for Bush. I guess fighting the Liberals on the Wikipedia was my way of trying to help. As for why I seem "weird"; I was home schooled and I am borderline dyslexic. Sometimes, I have to go over things 5-6 times to understand them. So, you might imagine that when others on the wiki insulted my editing skills as deficient, I took it personally. As for [[User:Kizzle]], I never replied to you before because I knew I'd be bailing soon, so what was the point? Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Also, as far as when I got myself "outed" as so-called [[User:Anon Texan]], you guys should bear in mind that I was well aware that those IP's were being tracked and I was also aware of the few IP footprints I left which connected Merecat to Rex071404. But at that point I didn't care, because I knew I would be bailing this month anyway. Also, what you guys were not aware of, is the editing I did after April 05 (when Merecat was created) under my non-political sock. And again, why go through all the trouble? Well it's very simple: As I told Kizzle, in order to have expectations, you must 1st communicate. I needed to test, measure, test, measure, before I could conclude my views about Wikipedia. My conclusion is that at any given time there is a small group of biased editors such as [[User:Commodore Sloat]], [[User:RyanFreisling]], [[User:Kevin Baas]], [[User:Nescio]] (and others from before such as [[user:Gamaliel]], [[User:Derex]], [[User:JamesMLane]]) who camp at political articles, quickly writing every negative snipe they read at DailyKos, DU and other crappy places. But these same editors are extremely slow to remove bad information once it becomes clear it's bad. However, as my victory over Nescio at [[Rationales to impeach George W. Bush]] proves, there is also now a core group of good editors such as [[User:Thatcher131]], [[User:Tbeatty]] and [[User:Morton devonshire]] and others who are now beginning to turn the liberal tide. So all that said, I agree to quit and go away, likely to never return, (and certainly to never return as a sock or 3RR type) provided that I am allowed to actually quit and my user page and user talk page are both deleted (and protected against restoration), leaving only my quit message (see below). PS: I have no other sock puppets which I am keeping - kudos to your checkuser staff for sniffing me out, except please note that you missed these alternate accounts: [[User:Korn2bmild]], [[User:Hdtopo]], [[User:Armand Tanzarian]], [[User:Armin Tanzarian]], [[User:Armen Tamzarian]], [[User:Armen Tanzarian]] and [[User talk:ソックスのパペット|ソックスのパペット]]. FYI: Hdtopo is abbreviated Spanish for "Mole man". I was going to move him forward as a trojan horse, but I lost interest. Get it, "mole" man? As in KGB mole? Also, there was another [[Simpsons]] tie-in there. Anyway, best wishes,
