About this blog

Hammy64000 was my username when I became an editor on Wikipedia. I gave this name to my domain to identify myself as that editor.

I never intended to work on Wikipedia. I was doing research for another project and I inquired about an article on the Greek city of Minoa. It was missing all of its content. Instead of an explanation, I was accused of being a feminist. Naturally this prompted me to look at Wikipedia’s Patriarchy article and it was as bad as I feared. The editors took themselves very seriously however, and the harassment never ended.

I was eventually expelled from Wikipedia for my trouble. I only bought this domain because I didn’t want to let them shut me up. However, my focus soon became clear.

After someone shot two 40 calibre bullets into my house the blog became a lifeline. I’m still writing fifteen years later and I’m still blocked on Wikipedia. The good news is that progressives have allies all over the world.
