User talk:Chandrannair

From Talk: User: Ryan-D

Hi, since I stumbled upon this page doing a google search on chandrannair, I thought I should give a background of this conflict. I became a Wikipedia editor in October 2006 when I found that there was an immense gap vis-a-vis older notables in the literature of Singapore/creative writing field. I am a published journalist/writer myself and my husband Chandran Nair is a Singaporean Poet. We both have accounts on wikipedia and as we live together, we naturally share the same IP address, although we possess more than one computer/laptop at home. We were active only on two AFD debates: Ivy Goh Nair, and the List of Famous Nairs. I had never ever heard of the term "sockpuppet" ( being new to wikipedia) until I was blocked for three days for "sockpuppetry" by user:Khoikhoi" (on 18th November, more than two weeks after the last AFD debate had ended and on the very day I was supposed to "clean-up" the List of Nairs, which survived the AfD process) for user:justiceforus and user:chandrannair (who were both blocked indefinitely for the "crime" of sockpuppetry on both AfD debates). I responded by a "Mea Culpa" for user:justiceforus (who btw never intervened on the Ivy Goh Nair debate) but complained that calling User:chandrannair a sockpuppet was abusive. User:Ryan-D contacted me out of the blue on 26th November to say there was a change of heart over user:chandrannair and the rest is history.Ivygohnair 10:45, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
