Just saw your message on the user page. I'm sorry it has to be this way, and I sincerely hope you reconsider. It's getting rally hard propping the dam in front of vandals with valuable editors becoming less active, and you are one of the few editors I felt honored to work with. Dahn 07:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you all. It will be nice if the article is saved, but it probably won't change my mind. The fact that my pointing at this trend might save this particular article is gratifying, but the issue wasn't really the article, except as an indicator of the trend. Wikipedia is doubtless still an absolutely great web site, but it is clearly no longer (or not at the moment) the community that I have been proud to be part of. The excessive application—the downright fetishization—of "No original research" and the rules on verifiablity, combined with the effective dropping of Ignore all rules, has added up to an epistemological failure, a war on scholarship, judgment and prose. I've been actively fighting the trend for at least a year, but it is clear which way the tide is running.
I won't go away completely, but I'll throttle way back. When I'm here, I'll focus on what I'll find fun instead of what I think needs to be done, and I certainly won't continue the pattern that I had started a week or so ago (and had planned to continue through January, before starting a job search in February) of treating this like a full time job. And I will reconsider some time in summer 2007. - Jmabel | Talk 18:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Joe, thank you for the thoughtful conversation about the project we had. I don't want to see you go; you're a valuable and insightful contributor, the sort we need more of. But if you need a break, take one and come back with a fresh eye; sticking around frustrated won't help. I'm sorry I don't have any better solutions to offer that would help counter the trends you speak of. Respect and regards, Kat Walsh (spill your mind?) 03:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand your last comment. So according to you, I'm the only one complaining about the neutrality of the article? Apparently, AAAAA and many others don't exist, or are intimidated by Bdean's disruptive behavior. I already know that you don't like Fujimori at all, but that does not mean that "neutrality = every single problem that Peru has is because of him". Apparently, according to you, I'm promoting POV. Very well, Just take a look at Bdean's contribution to realize that he has a Anti-Fujimori POV and that he is using Wikipedia to promote that. Do I have to show more? Okas, then what about using Wikipedia for Commercial purposes? Isn't that enough? Then what about the last video that he uploaded to Wikipedia? Sure 4 or 9 people protesting against Fujimori represent the 27 million Peruvians, right? Ohh, and let us not forget that he is promoting his own work in Wikipedia, quoting: "HUP's promotional page on the book". But that's Neutral, right?
One more thing: regarding my ban (that Bdean ALWAYS loves to bring up against every single argument or paragraph that I write), it was not imposed because of the quality of my editions, but because of the way of how I managed with Bdean's disruptive behavior. Here is a direct quote of the Administrator that imposed my:
My impression of bdean's edits is that he is not really doing what a Wikipedian should do. He does seem to be engaging in personal attacks. Please quote me on this. I am very busy on other (off-Wikipedia) matters but I do commend your case to the other administrators.
— User:Tony Sidaway
So if you want to be fair or "neutral", avoid calling me as the troublemaker. It is more than clear that Bdean1963 is promoting a POV, that apparently happens to be shared by "you" and because of that "you" do not criticize him. I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow Bdean appears here and start giving one of those pompous speeches Messhermit 21:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Dear Joe, I'm sorry to see you're thinking of (more or less) leaving. I'm dubious enough about Wikipedia myself not to try to persuade you to stay against your inclinations, but it will certainly be the worse for your absence.

Hi Joe: How notable is this person Mala Zimetbaum, and does she deserve an article of her own? There were millions of Holocaust so should they all get their own articles now?

Hi Joe, Happy New Year. I think these last two or three months were especially difficult for you and in my real life, these last few months have been very difficult, too and I suspect these last several months have been difficult for lots of people. I hope the new year brings a change for the better for you and everyone else. I hope when you get some time to think you'll reconsider, because you've become an important part of this landscape.

Hi Joe: Have you ever had a close look at this strange article: Adolf Hitler's contacts with Jewish people? It's full of red links for the supposed Jews he had contact with (do they deserve articles just because they were Hitler's alleged dentist/shoe-shine-boy/chimney-sweep/whatnots etc?) It's weirdly prurient. The heading stinks. Do all the Jews killed in the Holocaust get to be in it? How about all the theories about Hitler having a Jewish ancestor, does that also count as him having "contact" with Jewish people? I doubt that the originators of this article and those who worked on it have rational objectives. It should be merged with something else involving Adolf Hitler or even deleted for its stupidity. (If not, how about Adolf Hitler's contacts with gypsies, Adolf Hitler's contacts with Italian people, Adolf Hitler's contacts with Russian people, Adolf Hitler's contacts with retarded people, Adolf Hitler's contacts with murderers this can go on forever, and then we can even create Category:Adolf Hitler's contacts with people.

Would appreciate, since you saw fit to have me banned for my comments, to peruse the personal attacks in Dking's edit summary [2] and article discussion. [3] and the incessant characterization of editors who disagree with his (and Cberlet's) hostile views of Fred Newman as "cultists" and "totalitarian." This has been an ongoing, and an un-Wiki double standard. Berlet and King do not, by any stretch of the imgaination, approach anything remotely characterizable as a majority view, on Newman or any other subject and really should not be treated as infallible authorities who can violette Wikiettiquette with impunity.

Me temo que no te agradecí bastante el trabajo que te di con mis quejas sobre la censura en la wikipedia hispana. Conste que no lo olvido.

No espero ahora que te metas en problemas por estos motivos. Te lo indico sólo como curiosidad.

Hello Jmabel,
Could you come a bit to the Mircea Eliade article, where Dahn refuses to answer some of my concerns by simply saying "Cberlet and Jmabel had these concerns, this is why the article has the current form"? Dpotop 11:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, for once I'll take a look. - Jmabel | Talk 17:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry Jmabel for replying to this here, but I didn't want to leave you with the wrong impression. Dahn, if you have a problem with anyone on the Romanian Wikipedia (where I happen to be an admin), I'm sure you can raise the issue there, instead of complaining to random people here. I should mention I have no bias for or against either yourself or Daos, so please don't take this as taking his side, or having something against you, or anything else of that kind. I'm just standing up for the Romanian Wikipedia, which you seem quite willing to thrash around, for no good reason in my opinion. Please feel free to use my talk page to reply. -- Gutza T T+ 19:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
For the record, Dpotop has decided to edit my comment above. Jmabel, I'm truly desolated we ended up doing this on your talk page -- with any luck, Dpotop will erase this message altogether. I'm only joking. --

(If not, how about Adolf Hitler's contacts with gypsies, Adolf Hitler's contacts with Italian people, Adolf Hitler's contacts with Russian people, Adolf Hitler's contacts with retarded people, Adolf Hitler's contacts with murderers this can go on forever, and then we can even create Category:Adolf Hitler's contacts with people.

Wow, I bet it gives you a little uplift every time you say you'll no longer be answering this and that..! Thanks for your message, Joe. I'm not out of here yet; I'm out conditionally, iff Giano really is driven off. I don't feel like being in an environment that'll squeeze people like that. It's too hard to breathe here now.

Would appreciate, since you saw fit to have me banned for my comments, to peruse the personal attacks in Dking's edit summary [2] and article discussion. [3] and the incessant characterization of editors who disagree with his (and Cberlet's) hostile views of Fred Newman as "cultists" and "totalitarian." This has been an ongoing, and an un-Wiki double standard. Berlet and King do not, by any stretch of the imgaination, approach anything remotely characterizable as a majority view, on Newman or any other subject and really should not be treated as infallible authorities who can violette Wikiettiquette with impunity.

Promise - this has nothing whatsoever to do with anything on Wikipedia - just something I can't remember and thought an old Alex Bennett fan might recall .... do you remember which NYC radio dj/talk show guy used to say "Namaste" at the end of his show? This is driving me nuts - was it Leon Lewis? Thanks, if you recall. Best wishes Tvoz | talk 01:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Me temo que no te agradecí bastante el trabajo que te di con mis quejas sobre la censura en la wikipedia hispana. Conste que no lo olvido. El caso es que la historia sigue, y ya tenemos otro "luchador por la libertad" en esta wikipedia. No sé si lo conoces. Puedes echarle un ojo a [ [4]]. No espero ahora que te metas en problemas por estos motivos. Te lo indico sólo como curiosidad. Me temo que el talante poco democrático que se respira por la wikipedia hispana es algo que depende de ellos, y en lo que poco podemos hacer. La culpa de esto debe remontarse a Fernando VII :p -- Gimferrer 20:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, would you mind taking a look at the section titled "Input needed at Anarcho-punk and Straight edge" at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Punk music. Thanks. Ungovernable Force Got something to say? 02:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jmabel, I just wanted to say thank you for the welcome. It took stupid me to realize you gave me a message until now. I really appreciate it and the time you put in, and I hope some day I'll be as competent with Wiki as you...I really hope to contribute. :) So far my biggest contribution is the unholy amount of silly icons on my Userpage. :p
Thanks for your devotion! - CrazedEwok 21:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Jmabel,
I've noticed several times you mentioning that you've enjoyed working with editors on Romanian projects, so I made a Romanian barnstar of National Merit. Hope it's useful. {{ BoNM-Romania}}

Hello Jmabel,
Could you come a bit to the Mircea Eliade article, where Dahn refuses to answer some of my concerns by simply saying "Cberlet and Jmabel had these concerns, this is why the article has the current form"? Dpotop 11:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, for once I'll take a look. - Jmabel | Talk 17:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry Jmabel for replying to this here, but I didn't want to leave you with the wrong impression. Dahn, if you have a problem with anyone on the Romanian Wikipedia (where I happen to be an admin), I'm sure you can raise the issue there, instead of complaining to random people here. I should mention I have no bias for or against either yourself or Daos, so please don't take this as taking his side, or having something against you, or anything else of that kind. I'm just standing up for the Romanian Wikipedia, which you seem quite willing to thrash around, for no good reason in my opinion. Please feel free to use my talk page to reply. -- Gutza T T+ 19:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
For the record, Dpotop has decided to edit my comment above. Jmabel, I'm truly desolated we ended up doing this on your talk page -- with any luck, Dpotop will erase this message altogether. I'm only joking. --

I'm actually giggling as I'm writing this. Had a look at this talk page's history and realized Dahn has also decided to remove some of it -- it would be really funny if it wasn't sad. Guys, please accept that talk pages are as close to sanctity as Wikipedia has to offer: mortals just do not have the right to alter text here, period! --

I don't know whether you're interested in such things, but CJLL Wright will be on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship in a few days, or sooner. -- Ling.Nut 17:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Is this issue resolved? If so I will archive the RfC. Guy ( Help!) 16:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
As you have helpfully improved this article in the past, I'd like your input in the debate at Talk:Israeli-Palestinian_conflict#Ancient_Conflict. User:Benjiwolf claims that the following assertions should be in the main article:
