Apologies

Just wanted to apologize separately from the discussion for my actions and the way I came at you. I'm going through some stuff right now and I let it get the best of me on here.--Rockchalk717 05:29, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

No offense taken at all—suicide is a rough subject, and emotions are bound to get high about it. I think we strongly but sincerely disagree about some implications of WP policy, which is totally fine! But throw in suicide in the mix and things are bound to get a bit more heated than either party intends. Full disclosure: I was an editor for about a decade ... but that was a little less than a decade ago; I ended up ending my account because it was such a time drain I couldn't resist. So my understanding of WP policy could very well be outdated! Either way, I appreciate that you clearly care a lot about the project. Thanks so much for the message.--50.86.94.196 (talk) 14:11, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 50.86.94.196. Every edit from this IP address has been mine. I will say that I've noticed that my IP address seems to change every few months on here, when I last edited, it was 2603:7000:3E40:83D7:98F2:45E3:412D:C66C, but I have no idea why this change happened. I am not using any sort of software/hardware that hides my IP—I am using Mac OS Ventura on a Safari browser. --50.86.94.196 (talk) 12:28, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This IP address is not blocked. Once you disable your proxy/vpn, you need to wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 12:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

Update: User:Yamla said that I have to wait 24 hours after I "disable [my] proxy/vpn" ... but I haven't used a proxy/vpn? (At least not to edit Wikipedia—I recently used airgpu.com so that I could play a video game on my Mac. ... But I can't imagine that would affect things here?) To put it another way: In addition to the fact that, as I said above, every edit from this IP is mine (see above), every edit I have made for the last few months is reflected on this IP's contributions (and, as I noted, before that, 2603:7000:3E40:83D7:98F2:45E3:412D:C66C)--50.86.94.196 (talk) 12:46, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

As said below, there is nothing more we can do for you. I would check with anyone else potentially using this IP to see if they are using a proxy without your knowledge, and perhaps follow Yamla's earlier advice anyway 331dot (talk) 13:55, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, given that this IP address is not blocked, there's literally nothing I can do for you. --Yamla (talk) 13:08, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
