Request reason:

My reasons for moving the Morgellons page to "Delusions of parasitosis and quack psychiatry" are valid and it is not vandalism. The morgellons article is complete garbage and needs a total rewrite. As it stands now, the entire article is pure misinformation and needs to be removed. The article attempts to incorrectly equate morgellons with DOP when there is significant literature (peer reviewed) stating that Morgellons is distinct from DOP. The referenced articles proposing a psychiatric etiology for morgellons are simply opinions. There have been no formal studies from Koo/Koblenzer/Murase etc showing any actual verifiable success in treating morgellons with psychotropics. However, the "treatment failures" are actual real people with morgellons disease (such as myself) who have been malpracticed on by these quack "psychodermatologists". These treatment failures found out about each other several years after being malpracticed on by Dr. Koo through the internet and because of http://morgellons.org . In my case, Dr. Koo's malpractice resulted in a three year treatment delay for Lyme disease, which was finally diagnosed in 2004. I'm still undergoing antibiotic treatment for chronic lyme today (3 years of antibiotics). Had I been diagnosed correctly back in 2001 instead of believing my doctor and taking the psychotropics he prescribed, perhaps my lyme disease would not be "chronic" and I'd be cured by now. So I have a very personal stake in seeing that psychiatric quacks do not cause countless other patients to become severely disabled because of the perpetuation of misinformation as seen in this wiki. For more info, Please see my comments on the Morgellons discussion page

Decline reason:

The subject is known to the general public as "Morgellons", so renaming the article to "Delusions of Parasitosis and psychiatric quackery" is an expression of personal opinion in violation of our Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and is considered "disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point". I've also noted your personal attacks towards other editors at Talk:Morgellons. Wikipedia is first and foremost an community encyclopedia built upon consensus and Wikipedia:Verifiability -- not for vehemently pushing agendas and for attacking people who hold a point of view different from yours. I'm not here to judge the validity of the current "Morgellons" article, I'm here to judge whether you can cooperate with other editors on this website, and from your request for unblocking, you've provided no assurances that you can. If you're willing to abide by our policies and guidelines posted at the top of your talk page, you may file another request for unblocking. -- Netsnipe ► 18:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

User:Netsnipe -- Regarding "I've also noted your personal attacks towards other editors at Talk:Morgellons." --- please provide me an example. There are no personal attacks on the talk page. You appear to be confused, or perhaps you're partial to the DOP-pushers. Is libel appropriate for wikipedia, because that's exactly what is going on with the "morgellons" page. Morgellons sufferers are not delusional, they have an infection. Continuously equating DOP with Morgellons does not make it true. The fact that there are some medical opinions that Morgellons is DOP doesn't make it true either. The fact that the controversy isn't even framed correctly suggests to the naive reader that all morgellons patients are nutcases and their symptoms should not be believed or investigated. That further makes this wikipedia page a source for libelous "hate speech." It is a sad fact that margellons, Michael Devine, of Morgellonswatch.com is User:Herd of Swine, constantly reverting the site back towards the defamation and libel they attempt at MorgellonsWatch.com.
