This user is taking a break from Wikipedia to do some thinking about life.
For anyone who happens to stumble upon this page, I encourage you to read through all of it. This is what happens when you misuse Wikipedia. Sometime in November of 2014, I wrote a very defamatory and offensive article that I thought would be seen as little more than a harmless joke. Well, it was more than a joke. It was immediately deleted an administrator. Angry at the deletion of my "article", I vandalized multiple administrator's pages. They decided enough was enough, and blocked me. I didn't stop. I sent angry messages to them until they blocked me from that as well. But I still did not give up. I created a sockpuppet account and tried to present myself as a noble, Messiah like figure. I wanted attention. I wanted everyone to believe that I was great, that I was sorry, and that I was turning over a new leaf and deserved to be recognized for it. As you can tell by the conversation below, that trick didn't work. If it had, I likely would have gone back to my old ways. I created a new account, trying one last time to get back at the administrators. They blocked it, to. When I slowed down and took a second to look back and think about what I had done, I realized that I was not being a Christian in any sense, and that I was not in fact getting attention from anyone except God. But He already knew what I had done, and He already knew what intentions I had at heart. Around that same time, Ian.thomson said this: "if you're honestly trying to get your life sorted with Christ, I pray you succeed but note that repentance (either under the clean start or off this site) is not dependent upon recognition by others and is unlikely to be recognized by others." I finally realized that I was seeking attention from those whose attention I did not need. At the end of the day, it is only God's attention that I truly need. I had His attention, I had had it since the day I was conceived, so what purpose does disrupting Wikipedia serve? It does not serve any purpose, and only gets in the way of my walk with God and the purpose of Wikipedia. I want this to be a message to anyone who has disrupted Wikipedia, or is planning to do so. Please don't do it. Read my talk page. Read the talk page of Thatonebossdude, my first account that I used for vandalism. Before you go vandalizing articles or the pages of fellow Wikipedia users, look at my situation. Look at the disruption it has caused, and the hassle it created for everyone involved. In the end, your vandalism will not fulfill whatever intentions you have. It does not get you anywhere with Wikipedia, or with God, if you are a Christian. If you have considered my situation, and the consequences of your actions, and still want to vandalize/abuse Wikipedia, go right ahead. The administrators will catch you. You will not succeed. I understand your logic. I used that same logic to justify my harmful actions. If you take a second to see things from my point of view, you will understand. The administrators are good at what they do, and have ways to catch you that you cannot even imagine. They will block your, they will block your IP address, and they will stop you. Someday, I hope I can join them in the hunt to track down and stop vandals like you and I. Just save all of us the hassle and use Wikipedia for its intended purposes. I am ashamed of what I did. Look at my user page. The evidence of what I did is plain to see. But, I hope this...confession? no...this...statement of reality will give some of you a new perspective on the consequences of your actions, hopefully before you commit them. If you have already vandalized Wikipedia, I hope that this...statement of reality... will help you to better understand yourself. If you are a fellow Christian, I pray that you will have a talk with God and stop doing this type of thing. It isn't really a sin, it is simply detrimental to your relationship with The Lord and your standing on Wikipedia. Nowhere in this section will you find an apology. I have already apologized where apology is due, and to say I am sorry and how I am a new and better person now is simply drawing attention to myself. In the end, the glory goes to God and God alone. Not to me. Not to you. Not even to the administrators. All I am trying to do is use this situation to bring glory to the One who really deserves that glory. I hope that this helps. Peace out, my friends.
Ian.thomson User:Diannaa I have sat around and thought about life and i have come to understand a few things. But they are things that i do not need to tell you, because they are good things and there is no need to glorify them. the only glory here goes to God. I just want you to know that I am sorry for the disruption and vandalism that I have caused here. It is not something Jesus would do, therefore it is not something i will continue to do. Someday I will return to Wikipedia to edit articles in a positive manner. Until that day comes, i express my deep regret and guilt for what I have done. Peace.
