Banned by the Wikimedia Foundation Office

I was globally banned by the WMF Office for vandalism. It is crazy to me that it has gotten to this point where I am “legally” unable to edit Wikipedia, but that is hilarious. I wonder what would happen if I theoretically show up to a Wikimania convention and revealved myself. Would they have security escort me off like some sort of secret service agents, or would be cry in fear because I’m “dangerous”?

Nothing "theoretical" at all--they would throw hysterical fits. And if you still refused to leave they would call the cops (even if it was a public building which is customary for WMF meetings). Because they're sad little nerds, they'd find someone with muscles to physically drag you out. Such paranoid, petty, slimy little critters.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but did you "vandalize" the WMF's various websites?

I was going to open a topic about this yesterday! But I was tired and had other stuff to do.

I don't think I'll be WMF banned for a long time, despite how bad they think my behavior is. They usually don't identify me as my own "LTA".
