Ironic that Wikipedia bans people for "not contributing to the encyclopedia", when tracking users and obsessing over rules is clearly unencylopedic...

I have unusual views on some topics, but this is still top much.

The only way I can win is force myself not to even think about Wikipedia, but this will be very difficult given the size of Wikipedia...

Either give it up (FAR better), or get a VPN and use it. I've already warned you they go around blocking VPN and TOR gateways from editing, but perhaps you can figure out something. Lotsa luck and don't try it anyway!

I will just leave. The tracking is not worth staying. I need to find out how to not edit by IP though

Edit: I have left. At least I will be gone for several months anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yleventa2

Also, an IP address is not an account. Seriously https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... 696#Log_in
