Reason given by WMF/James Alexander: I should be a threat for the mental health of the participants. That was written in the email I got.
It is of course a complete bullshit reason, but stil a reason. And WMF has even the right to ban me even without any reason, so it will do.
Does anyone see any law case in America or in Holland in this situation? I don't think so.
And I am not as foolish as Abd to spent a split second on a dead horse.
WMF has any right do this and to ban people in this way according the Terms of Use, pudding heads! And they also the right to publish that list of course! Why not?
You could ask for an appeal seeing as how James "Stop calling me a 'pantload' already!" Alexander is no longer with the WMF. That said, since you were given the boot, the list looks like this now:
