User blog comment:Sannse/How to Get Unblocked/@comment-24424237-20140717001219

Hello, I'm an old timer, who had a BBS (Seymour's Castle), before the Internet was "popular", and who ran an email list (Sethworks, on digex.com, while they still dealt with "ordinary people"). A lot of this article, and the discussion, applies to the entire suite of email lists, Facebook, and comments on News articles. (Probably even more.  For example, I found out that the Newsgroup protocol still exists, mainly in alt.*, and it's use for making binary files available.  On the other hand, it appears that gopher may be either dying, or dead, as the protocol is there, but very few machines seem active, anymore.  Long Live Gopher, as it was the first protocol that showed me how vast the Internet was).

Trolls? Wow! I've had people try to "become friends" on Facebook, just so they could "deface my Timeline". I'm assuming that the "Local Block" in this article is similar to the "Personal Block" [which usually includes "unfriend", local to Facebook).  Is this correct?

If I'm guilty of anything with Wikia, it's getting info from the Wiki's, without contributing. My "defense" is that I'm a Troubleshooter, who is quite busy, with only limited time for "recreational" computer usage. As a troubleshooter, I "monitor", which is why I tend to "lurk". But I'm there to defend a person against, say, a major "ad homimum attack" (which could include a domestic divorce situation, where "BFF" [Best Friends Forever] turn into threats of [hopefully figuratively] murder and mayhem.  That's where I've been found, usually behind the scenes, especially if I was a friend of both sides of the relationship.

So all I'll say is that, based on this post, any of you are free to contact me, for my insight (I'm friendly to people, but less so to robots.  Spammers [using a forum like this to post an advertisement], especially if they use tricks, like putting a link to a web page that starts informative, but then changes to hard core, off topic advertising, to "get under the radar" are the sorts of people I am looking for.

I tend to post a comment in the Talk section, to actually "correcting" a page, even if I'm pretty sure about the page inaccuracies. Should I change that policy?

Thank you and best regards,

Kenneth Wayne Parker (who would only ever want two accounts, like this, "authoritative management" one, and an informal, "Ken Parker" account, to "mingle with the people on the local wiki.  Is this a "legitimate" use of two accounts?)
