I will be on vacation until the 10th of July, so don't expect any responses. Do feel free to leave messages though. Two-Bit Sprite 04:51, 29 June 2006 (UTC) ;)
Hey. Thanks for the what you said on anarhcism talk. Every time I find an editor that isn't part of the obvious ugliness that goes on around here, I feel a little safer. This is not a very friendly place. Sha nnon duck talk 13:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey. I can't even remember the particular thing or things that you said. I just know that it was an intelligent argument against the POV pushing that happens in so many political articles. The rouge tactics are so sickening. When they want someone out of the way, for instance, they gang up together and start calling him names like deranged or mentally ill. Can you check this out? Wikipedia:Featured_article_review/Anarcho-capitalism They are trying to take the featured status off of Anarcho-capitalism Can you help? Sha nnon duck talk 20:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Anarcho-capitalism is currently under featured article review. Any help in maintaining featured status would be appreciated. -- Vision Thing -- 21:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for asking Shannon to cool down a bit. According to her, I'm part of a vast Soviet conspiracy to undermine Wikipedia and destroy freedom. -- AaronS 18:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
As an addtion to this conversation I would invite any of it's readers to see the attacks on myself, Vision Thing, Intangible, RJll, Hogeye, and TheIndvidualist, and the psycho-warfare that has been played on the dissenters of these articles: anarchism, talk:anarchism; patriotism (a horror of an article) talk:patriotism; anarcho-capitalism, talk:anarcho-capitalism; (a deliberate attempt at destroying the integrity of this excellent, featured article).
I am, however, more than willing to not attack or insult other editors even in response to their nasty attacks on me and other dissenting editors or on their attacks on certain articles. Sha nnon duck talk 19:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Anyway, thanks, Twobitsprite. I may steal the banner you have on your page. Sha nnon duck talk 20:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
You are alright, Twobitsprite. I like you. Not that that probably means a whole lot to you, why would it? But I mean that sincerely. You seem like a level-headed guy. We need you down here at anarchism and also Intangible is getting Wikipedia:Requests for arbitrationed here Can you help him. I'm getting ready to defend him and am throwing some stuff together now. I hate the way so many good editors get bullied and driven away here. Anyway thanks, again. Sha nnon duck talk 00:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, again, Twobitsprite. Being polite is one thing, but aiding and abetting those who would bias many articles and destroy excellent articles is another. Also, Vision Thing asked that we don't get into reverting their edits too much at that article because that is exactly what they want. (It destabalizes the article.) Sha nnon duck talk 14:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I only meant this in the most respectful way, you understand. Sha nnon duck talk 14:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, keep in mind that all of your edits -- which are much appreciated -- have been countered by a few users who refuse to budge an inch in the other direction. While I assume that they are acting on good faith, and respect their opinions, TheIndividualist/IndividualistAnarchist and company haven't really tried to reach a compromise at all, whereas a lot of other editors have. The sockpuppet charge, while tiresome, is unfortunately understandable, considering the proven and self-admitted harrassment, disruption, and POV-pishing that has occurred on anarchism-related articles on the part of RJII and Hogeye. Further, it has always been added as an afterthought, and has never really been the meat of anybody's claims. There are other, more important issues at hand. I understand that you feel strongly about the subject of this article, and I respect that. I certainly hope that you won't leave as a result of the recent heated discussion. Your input is appreciated, and you're welcome here. You're right that the sockpuppet argument is very, very difficult to substantiate. But, like I said, I'm sure that, after thinking a bit about the situation, you might understand where some people are coming from. For years, we've dealt with sockpuppet abuse on these articles. The people behind the abuse have no lives outside of Wikipedia and troll it like an AOL chatroom. Sockpuppets are probably Wikipedia's greatest weakness -- along with gaming the system. Both will probably contribute to Wikipedia's demise, if nothing is done about it. Anyways, I hope that you decide to stick around and not let any of the heated debate get to you. It doesn't need to be this heated -- I agree with you on that -- so maybe we can work to calm it down a bit. -- AaronS 18:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, regarding your recent change to percent sign and %, where is that convention for other symbols? I ask because Category:Punctuation has no such examples. Cheers, Ziggurat 00:24, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the sock template, I just wanted to make sure we weren't jumping the gun. The more that user edits, the more I start to wonder if he/she is a sock. At the very least, the user is nowhere near new as the account creation would imply, and has a very narrow focus in his/her edits. I wouldn't wager on a sock for Intangible, but we've had two or three major sock accounts of banned users knocked out in the past week, and I'm starting to smell a rat on this new one. Let's just bide our time though. I'm sure if it's a sock we'll get something more definite and traceable than the suspicion we have now.-- Rosicrucian 20:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, you requested a mediation cabalist. I am willing to help, where would you prefer to start? Viridae Talk 04:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Looks like the troll has gone back under its bridge for now, so we'll call a stand down for the time being. Thanks for your help anyways though. :) — Two-Bit Sprite 01:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
I read your comment on talk:anarchism. Please don't give up on editing Wikipedia. If it was something I said, or how I said it, then I'll consider changing it. I apologize if I contributed to any frustration you might have. Whis key Rebel lion 16:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
You should stay. If you feel tired from bickering on Anarchism, take a few days of (or even weeks) from editing. It would be terrible waste if you were to give up from Wikipedia, since you are one of editors with more common sense then most. Stick around. -- Vision Thing -- 16:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
And thanks for all of your effort. I may be following in your footsteps very soon. -- AaronS 16:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
