I hereby block you, masked avenger!
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four halfwidth tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 03:09, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Since I am Jed Rothwell, and I signed the messages as myself, I would not call that a "sockpuppet."

- I do not think I have done anything impermissible according to that article, but I confess I am not familiar with the arcane rules of Wikipedia. It would seem I am accused of pretending to be myself. Still, this is your site, so you get to make whatever rules you like -- or no rules it would seem. It isn't up to me. I am glad that you have no say in organizing ICCF conferences or proceedings. - Jed
- Arcane? Hardly. The whole idea of not avoiding sanctions is pretty self-evident. If you want to rehabilitate the account User:JedRothwell, or retire it and start fresh with a new account, I presume an admin could help you with that, but attempting end-runs of the ban by using a string of IPs isn't gaining you any credibility.

- I am not using a string of IPs! Just two, my office and home. I have no idea what they are but I am not changing them and not making any attempt to end-run any ban. That's absurd. Why should I care if you ban me? The messages I wrote were inconsequential. I was only writing message for the heck of it, just to see how long it would take you to interfere.
- I find the rules arcane. They are quaint. They are also manifestly ineffectual since they allow people to get away with saying that cold fusion tritium was never replicated. That is outrageous nonsense. If the rules do not somehow prevent it, the rules are useless.
- Also, by the way, the rules apparently allow people to accuse me of publishing secret documents leaked from U.S. military intelligence. That's libel, and potentially damaging. I cannot change it, thanks to you, but I sent a message to Whom It May Concern at Wikipedia, below.
- Actually, if you would not mind deleting both of those sections, and especially the allegations that the document "appears to be leaked" I would appreciate it.
- Ah, I see the discussion has continued. Still, I would prefer that particular allegation be erased, or at least an emphatic denial from me be added. I could get in serious trouble if that were true. Strike that -- I would already BE in serious trouble with the Defense Intelligence Agency! They know who I am. I do not go around using comic-book character disguises such as "LeadSongDog."
- Also, if anyone thinks I go around forging documents with the official seal of the Defense Intelligence Agency on them . . . anyone's crazy. I may be a fun-loving guy with a sparkling sense of humor but I do not pull practical jokes that might bring the FBI to my door. - Jed
Here is the message I sent --
To: info-en-q@wikimedia.org
Hi. I have been banned from Wikipedia for some time. I don't know how long; I wasn't aware of the ban. The reasons are unimportant and I have no wish to contest this ban, but a serious allegation against me has been published here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cold_fusion#DIA_document
I run a website about physics, http://lenr-canr.org. It has 1,200 papers about cold fusion. Links to this website are banned from Wikipedia. Again, that is fine with me. I am not contesting that.
The accusation is that I have published a document on this site leaked from the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. That would be a federal crime! Plus I never upload any document without permission from the authors. If I were to do that, the professors who write these papers and the journal editors would be upset with me. They would stop giving me papers to upload. The Defense Intelligence Agency e-mailed hundreds of copies of this report to scientists worldwide, and also a copy to me with permission to upload it.
Since I cannot edit this comment, I would appreciate if someone could upload a short statement to that effect. Or, you can simply delete these comments. You understand I do not want rumors to circulate that I break federal laws or upload papers without permission!
Wikipedia authors have made various other baseless personal attacks against me, but I don't mind.
By some fluke, I was allowed to insert some comments for a few days, which I did just for the fun of it, here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cold_fusion#This_Article
If you or the editors opposed to me wish to delete that section, please feel free to do so. It is unimportant.

If you believe the deletion of your posts is improper, I suggest you appeal to administrators or to the arbitration committee. Olorinish (talk) 22:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
