I wouldn't. Dædαlus is kinda blunt like that. I am going to work to advocate for you. I am recommending that your secondary account be blocked for the sole reason that sockpuppets are frowned upon and your main account be left open (which is currently unblocked). This will be unpopular, but I am recommending leeway as you are a new editor.

Fair enough, I can see your predicament, and I don't want to put you in any further trouble. Hence why I am at a total loss, and have no idea what to do next, as anything I may right may inflame the situation. I feel terrible about this, but only want to throw back, what was thrown at me.

As I suspected that AussieLegend and Kww were the same person, and were trying to outdo me, I thought I would fight fire with fire, and do the same back.

Right now it is in the able hands of the checkuser. I have made my recommendationon the checkuser page which you can view at the link below and where you can also write a defense.

I wouldn't make any further edits for now under the checkuser comes along, which might be as early as this hour or tomorrow (in the US). Take a breather for now, do something that calms ya down and I will advocate (I don't mind) on your behalf.

Many thanks for the words of wisdom, my friend down in the gong (south of sydney) told me this already a week ago, and I should of taken his advice.

I think I may of made things bad to worse. I will let it go, and leave it in the good hands of fate. I just got stressed out, when I saw my personal article up for deletion, again, three hits in one week was just too much to handle, and yes I screwed up. It felt like someone was at me, and it was time to take the gloves off. Having been out of paid work for twenty years, every rejection feels like a brick to the head.

I submitted my website for review, in order to get a promotional grant from Google. I got notice a few nights ago, that my application for Google Grants was rejected, which has not helped. I feel things are just caving in on me.

I've placed so much work into 2prfm.com, and still after ten years it is disappointing that at best I would have one to two listeners. WIth this, I only get about five hits to my site each day. This is inconsideration of linking it to facebook, twitter, and myspace, and doing anything that would promote it.

Google Grants would have been a huge help, but I couldn't even communicate with them over the phone, they want to do every thing by e-mail. I am a person who wants to talk face to face with people.
