Thanks, Brent. (It wouldn't hurt to have a backup of the freebie wiki anyway - the last time I took an extract was over 500 new pages ago.)
The discussion about LulzKiller's account lock continues on ATT. I believe I've explained to NDKilla how the OP in this thread was viewed here. I've also extended the same invitation to NDKilla that Bob extended to John. (By sheer number of posts and ability to explain things to new users, I seem to have fallen into the role of Bob's 2IC here even without admin rights (that I don't want), and NDKilla appears from the outside to be John's 2IC, so I thought it appropriate that I should make that invitation.)
I don't know whether John is realizing anything, though. He appears to have a lot of self-image tied up in what he does and how he acts on Miraheze; if that's correct, his changing his mind would involve his changing his self-image, and that's a very difficult thing for anybody to do.
