Welcome to my talk page. If you've come to complain, whine, moan, question my judgment, my intelligence, my sanity, or tell me off in anyway, that's fine. I'm a big girl who can take it.If you've come to chat, compliment me, have a laugh, or discuss articles that's even better.
Theresa, I've noticed that a lot of users have a Wikistress graphic, in the shape of a thermometer. I was thinking that an appropriate Wiki-love image to give to someone who's wikistress is very high might be a stylized ice cube, to help cool them. Any thoughts?

Yeah sound good although an ice cube is a bit of a dull shape. What about a snowflake or a cucumber (cool as a cucumber).

Either a snowflake and/or a cucumber would be brilliant. :) func (talk) 19:27, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Well I'm not too good with cartoons - diagrams are my thing but this is what I've come up with so far. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 00:21, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
It's great, Theresa. :) Mr. Cool! (or Ms. Cool). Maybe there should be a smile, though, as befitting WikiLove. :) func (talk) 12:45, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Do cool people smile? ever? I'll try my best though give me a few days. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 12:57, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
When they work with you on Wikipedia, they can't help but be happy and smile. func (talk) 13:12, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

While this article doesn't envolve sock puppets or fake bans it does envolve penieses peripeherally, so perhaps might be slightly on topic. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has had the paragraph about sexual abuse removed twice by differnt ISPs with the same edit summary. I think it may be an attempt to remove the info from the article. Have to leave be somewhere in ten minutes, I will explain further if nesecarry. Please add the page to your watch list, look into the matter and review my actions if nesecarry. - JCarriker 18:45, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
Greetings. It is noted that you are involved with the editing of the Foreskin restoration article. Over the pass week or so this article has seen heightened activity in which you have been involved. The article is steadily generating into a POV defence of foreskin restoration. My question to you is simple. If you are not able to contribute to NPOV in the article why you do not simply recuse yourself and just walk away? - Friends of Robert 03:37, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Here you go again accusing me of POV pushing without any evidence.Which of my edits are a "POV defence of forskin restoration"?
this one? where I remove a "Foreskin restoration has beneficial emotional results" and replaced it with " Foreskin restoration has been reported as having beneficial emotional results"
Or is it this group of edits Where I removed " Cosmesis is dramatically improved by restoration" replaced "psycological aspects with "emotional aspects",removed the phrase " This article reflected a pro-circumcision cultural point of view" about the Prepuce Restoration Seekers, and added a quote from that paper?
My edits to that page have been to tone done the 'pro' arguments and NPOV the article. Did you even look at my edits to see what the were? Or did you just look at the history, see my name, and automatically assume I would be encoraging a pro POV. Please stop with the trolling now. I have no time for you. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 08:23, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi, Theresa. I'm a new wiki participant here, just getting into it. I seem to have met with some editing opposition from Friends of Robert on the Ridged band article. He told me to come talk to you. Can you help us resolve the dispute over there? I want to start contributing new articles to Wikipedia, but I feel obliged to wrap up the loose ends over there. Also, if you have any tips about writing new articles, I'd really appreciate it. I'm working on one now regarding Mary Ann Glendon's "Rights Talk". It's a fascinating read. Anywho, thanks for reading. TrevorPerry 18:06, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi Theresa -- I had contacted someone there by email a couple of weeks ago, so it's nice to see that something came of it!
And thanks for reverting my talk page :-)

You're more than welcome. It's Mr Treason who vandalised it. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 15:13, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I don't doubt that your intent is good, but I would appreciate it if you would not remove messages from my talk page. If whoever it is you're reverting there is discussing, he is at least not vandalising elsewhere; and while previous efforts to talk to him may have failed, hey, it can't hurt to try again. —No-One Jones (m) 20:08, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't get this. Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome was going to get deleted, right? And now it's still there, right? And the Vfd notice has been removed, right? Somehow this went wrong - the votes clearly showed delete 19/11! JFW | T@lk
No we don't delete on a simple majority. We only delete on consensus. The exact definition of consensus varies but since am one of those people who passionately argue against allowing it to drop lower than two thirds I can hardly complain when a page I think should be deleted and it doesn't get consensus :-( So since the article is to be kept we'll just have to get rid of all the POV and self selecting polls etc.
Any interest in Astrodynamics? I haven't had as much time as I would like to invest in that article, so it has not been improving as quickly as I had hoped. (I have two brothers getting married in the space of three weeks, among other things. :-) I know you have an interest in at least some space-related articles. -- Doradus 03:04, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Theresa (The Torn Steak?). You tried to edit the Reference Desk just now, but it didn't work. At the same moment, I received an "edit conflict" warning while editing that page. The result was an empty page with your fingerprints all over it. I reverted the blanking, but your edit was lost. It looks as if there is a bug in the edit conflict software. It wasn't me, honest! -- Heron 14:03, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC) Weired! Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Theresa (the Kant store/net stork heat/theta ork nest/hot netskater/not a trek, Seth!) -- I've changed the paragraph about the spherical shape of the soap bubbles and gravity and air resistance. I thought about the reflections for a while and realized that actually there's more wrong with the article than just the missing 180° phase jump. There aren't just two reflections but an infinite series, and the two alone wouldn't cancel out. As the angle of incidence increases, the reflectance of the interfaces increases, and the first reflection becomes much stronger than the second; it's only the long series of further reflections that cancels it out. I'll change the text accordingly; I wonder whether the diagrams should be changed, since in them the second reflection looks equal (and opposite) to the first, and the other reflections aren't shown at all. Note also my questions about the diagrams at Talk:Soap bubble.
By the way, you said you were going to blank User talk:Wik after Jimbo's message unless you'd forget :-)
Also by the way, I finally found a picture of you :-)

I'm at my wits' end in terms of dealing with these folks. Expressing opinions (especially on a topic that's intrinsically very emotional for some) is one thing. The kinds of personal attacks that seem to be coming from some in the anti-circ crowd is another - and I don't know what to do short of filing a mass request for comment. Pakaran . 13:39, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hm, well I'm not sure I read the situation just as you do. If the nominator is who I half-suspect, or even not, it's likely from where he sits that it's not obvious what nominations will crash and burn. Indeed, SS is not doing half-bad at some 60%. My vague impression is that he scans stats pages for overlooked big contributors and may be unaware of attendant controversies, although in nominating me he seemed to know a bit more. I also know what you mean about RfA brutality and oppose votes; I at times consider proposing a rule that opposition must be justified, as this is the norm in consensus-based systems (this I know from my days as manager of a housing co-op run on consensus, where further it would fall to one to make a counteroffer), although I'm far too exhausted to re-venture into the world of Wikipedia policy. But a good half of my opposers seemed out to settle a score rather than pondering the merits of the actual issue. Any fool can dream up a reason, of course, but it's a starting point. Oh and thanks for noting the E-mail issue; it had simply never come to my attention before, and is remedied (which is not to say I have an opinion on whether discretion is really needed here). Very Verily 10:30, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
No I think making people state a reason will worsen the personal attacks. "The reason I oppose the candidate is because they are a vile vat of stinking pus" I don't know what to do about rudeness. Perhaps I should start pulling people up on it. If we all did that it might have an effect. I dont know though. I'd probably just get the guilty ones pissed at me.

Greetings.
This concerns the "Cross-Dresser" article, which says it's "protected".
I'm a historian who would like to make needed changes to a few portions of that page in the interest of historical accuracy. I've posted a note (which is finally now formatted correctly) outlining why changes need to be made - please see the 'Talk' page for the article in question, and look for the comment added by myself (Allen Williamson) under the Joan of Arc section - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cross-dresser
If you would un-protect the page, I could make the needed changes to it.

I uploaded the images, but I cut a part of them so as to let people don't see the source of the image. I have posted some articles and improve some of the other articles about Hong Kong transport.

Hi! You're doing very well as an admin and I think you're very polite. Now, 172 has blocked this IP ( 216.20.9.22) for 204 hours, which in my calculations totals more than a week. He/she's already been blocked for a few days. I would ask you to unblock this IP and talk to 172 about his blocking of users for incredibly long periods of time. Marcus2 14:56, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I don't know who Marcus2 is. But 216.20.9.22 struck me as a thoroughgoing vandal... Thanks for the tip. 172 16:48, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

You mentioned being willing to nominate me for adminship when I thought the time was right. I'm rapdily closing on the "magic" 1000 edit mark, and I would hope some of the users who had objections based on edit count before would reconsider, especially if this time I wasn't self-nominated.

On the subject of fraternal twins, the sentence said 'fraternal twin brother'. Since fraternal means 'brother' that could be removed. But since the editor had actually changed the legitimate word 'frail' to a tortological word, then I classed it as a newbie test/vandalism. Also, various other users had left vandalism warnings on his/her talk page. As for vandal in capital letters, I didn't realise that meant shouting, and the test page was not the first from that user, I don't think. Thanks for your help, please reply @ my talk page.-- Honeycake 08:00, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to ask that you be more careful with your speedy deletions. Geno's Steaks is one of the most famous cheese steak places in the world and you deleted a decently written (though not wikied) article on it which someone had added the delete tag to. I assume it was an accident, but in the future can you please make a good faith effort to find out whether or not an article is accurate before speedily deleting it? anthony (see warning) 14:15, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hi! By the way, what do you mean by this saying of yours, "I have no sympathy for vandals"? Do you mean that you wouldn't be sorry if you blocked a user or feel bad about another user being blocked for the claim of vandalism? I would think that a person like you should otherwise have sympathy for anyone. Marcus2 20:27, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Dear TK - if you insist in calling me a lier in public, and you can't prove this in a Court of Law, consider yourself warned - you lose more than time. This is not a threat. This is the 57th time I explain to you that you should behave like a grown up - responsible that is. Your public actions have public consequences. Call a medical doctor a lier in public and you make yourself your own legal file for libel. It's as you wish - I only have to place a phone call to my lawyer who has everything prepared, as you know. Let me explain that again: Justice is never a threat, no matter what your Wikipolice links and crash course taught you. They are wrong. You have no legal defense, TK. And you are liable. They will let you down for they have no money to give away for your fancy talk, painted tits, porn promotion, and erratic behavior including public offers to wear lather boots for me and I will not disclose your best yet :O) Fear not, though: I won't ask money from you, but I will put a decision of a Court of Law on your big untrained mouth! Fear of Justice is irrational. Fear not. I don't want money for you to pay for your bad behavior and insults, the misery you made to me and a few dozen others. But trust me - justice needs to be done, and I will not die before I'll have it in your case. This is a matter of principle. You could have stopped this - but you didn't because you think too high of yourself to formulate careful excuses, as needed. And as a friendly explanation, which I think might help you: Only people having something to hide, or already considering themselves guilty as you are, fear justice. If justice were a threat, would Judges be terrorists? No! Justice is a necessity. Without it, a naughty untrained girl like you can claim to be a a prima donna. Clearly, you aren't. You never edited a decent article in your life. Nil. Nada! You destroyed a few hundred, and you chased away several dozen decent, considerate, creative and lovely editors (the list of which I posess). Now bear with me that you are naughty and despite my repeated requests, you continue to be more than naughty. Ban me if you like for "personal attack" - you'll get your pint of coffe as promised, but you'll have to put up or shut up! Sorry about not letting you play with your favorite porn toy here in Wiki - but as long as Wiki is not Bomis, I won't let you delight in public porn. Your nerve and disgraceful disrespect for a fellow editor are enough. Enough is enough, TK - irismeister 00:38, 2004 Oct 21 (UTC)

User:24.69.255.205 appears to be systematically vandalising many pages. The person first creates a misspelling or punctuation error, then corrects it (giving a false impression of genuineness) and under this cover, vandalises articles.

RfC's are worthless, and I have made it clear in the past that I will not participate in them. I have listed Pcb on Vandalism in Progress. Rick K 23:08, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC) Threats are worthless too. As is listing someone on VIP when they are clearly not a vandal. RFC's are a precurser to arbitration. What's more they do occaionally work, not very often mind, but it's worth a try. Theresa Knott (Not the skater) 23:14, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
On reflection, you are quite right. I do need some wider form of community support for my view (which has certainly been mainstream for most of my time here, and I think it is still) rather than squabbling with RickK one-on-one.

Sort of. I knew whither this went. I went to Alteripse.
I expressed my doubts about phimosis as the correct diagnosis months ago ( phimosis is The Excuse (96% of all infants are nonretractable so phimosis is an inappropriate diagnosis in infancy and a dubious diagnosis before puberty (yet doctors wanting more money, show the parents the nonretractability of the præpuce, and claiming that the baby has phimosis, and must have a circumcision))) to Alteripse, a doctor. I consulted with Alteripse about the diagnosis. The most probable diagnosis is iatrogenic balanitis. One thing is for certain, it could not be phimosis.
That was then. When I saw the changes of Jakew yesterday, I was it as an attempt to escape blame for what happened. I reverted, he reverted, et cetera. This morning, I realized that this gets us nowhither. I called in Alteripse with a message on talk and waited. I hoped to avoid protection, but you protected it while I waited for Alteripse. What is done is done. Since you protected David Peter Reimer anyway, I ask that it remain protected until Alteripse looks at it.
When I came to Encyclopædia WikiPedia.Org, I had fun. I created a good portion of the articles about paleocontinents and only article about a future continent ( Pangæa Ultima). Then I discovered that our friends with a special interest in universal circumcision of all babies were at work. Babies take priority. Now, Encyclopædia WikiPedia.Org is not fun any more for me. I suspect that mediating between circumcisiosexuals and intactivists is not fun for you. I thought about a policy which could make Encyclopædia WikiPedia.Org fun for us again:
Make advocating nontherapeutic procedures and modifications of minors against policy.
This is an example about one could and could not advocate minors do or someone do to minors:
Advocateble:

¿What is your opinion?
Ŭalabio 03:24, 2004 Oct 24 (UTC)
My opinion is that i have no opinion on this matter. I protected the page because there was an edit war, plus an email by you to anticirc activists has been put on the VP. In that email you say words to the effect of - if they want a total edit war, well give them a total edit war. Well no you wont. We regular wikipedians have had enough of both the anti circ POV pushers and the pro ones. Wikipedia is not a place where you can have fights with your enemies. It's a NPOV encylopedia. We will not tolerate this type of behaviour and will keep the article protected until the danger passes. I hope i have my position clear. Theresa Knott (Not the skater) 13:06, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Welcome to my talk page. If you've come to complain, whine, moan, question my judgment, my intelligence, my sanity, or tell me off in anyway, that's fine. I'm a big girl who can take it.If you've come to chat, compliment me, have a laugh, or discuss articles that's even better.
Theresa, I've noticed that a lot of users have a Wikistress graphic, in the shape of a thermometer. I was thinking that an appropriate Wiki-love image to give to someone who's wikistress is very high might be a stylized ice cube, to help cool them. Any thoughts?

Yeah sound good although an ice cube is a bit of a dull shape. What about a snowflake or a cucumber (cool as a cucumber).

Do cool people smile? ever? I'll try my best though give me a few days. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 12:57, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

While this article doesn't envolve sock puppets or fake bans it does envolve penieses peripeherally, so perhaps might be slightly on topic. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has had the paragraph about sexual abuse removed twice by differnt ISPs with the same edit summary. I think it may be an attempt to remove the info from the article. Have to leave be somewhere in ten minutes, I will explain further if nesecarry. Please add the page to your watch list, look into the matter and review my actions if nesecarry. - JCarriker 18:45, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
Greetings. It is noted that you are involved with the editing of the Foreskin restoration article. Over the pass week or so this article has seen heightened activity in which you have been involved. The article is steadily generating into a POV defence of foreskin restoration. My question to you is simple. If you are not able to contribute to NPOV in the article why you do not simply recuse yourself and just walk away? - Friends of Robert 03:37, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Here you go again accusing me of POV pushing without any evidence.Which of my edits are a "POV defence of forskin restoration"?
this one? where I remove a "Foreskin restoration has beneficial emotional results" and replaced it with " Foreskin restoration has been reported as having beneficial emotional results"
Or is it this group of edits Where I removed " Cosmesis is dramatically improved by restoration" replaced "psycological aspects with "emotional aspects",removed the phrase " This article reflected a pro-circumcision cultural point of view" about the Prepuce Restoration Seekers, and added a quote from that paper?
My edits to that page have been to tone done the 'pro' arguments and NPOV the article. Did you even look at my edits to see what the were? Or did you just look at the history, see my name, and automatically assume I would be encoraging a pro POV. Please stop with the trolling now. I have no time for you. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 08:23, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi, Theresa. I'm a new wiki participant here, just getting into it. I seem to have met with some editing opposition from Friends of Robert on the Ridged band article. He told me to come talk to you. Can you help us resolve the dispute over there? I want to start contributing new articles to Wikipedia, but I feel obliged to wrap up the loose ends over there. Also, if you have any tips about writing new articles, I'd really appreciate it. I'm working on one now regarding Mary Ann Glendon's "Rights Talk". It's a fascinating read. Anywho, thanks for reading. TrevorPerry 18:06, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi Theresa -- I had contacted someone there by email a couple of weeks ago, so it's nice to see that something came of it!
And thanks for reverting my talk page :-)

I don't doubt that your intent is good, but I would appreciate it if you would not remove messages from my talk page.

I don't get this. Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome was going to get deleted, right? And now it's still there, right? And the Vfd notice has been removed, right? Somehow this went wrong - the votes clearly showed delete 19/11! JFW | T@lk
No we don't delete on a simple majority. We only delete on consensus. The exact definition of consensus varies but since am one of those people who passionately argue against allowing it to drop lower than two thirds I can hardly complain when a page I think should be deleted and it doesn't get consensus :-( So since the article is to be kept we'll just have to get rid of all the POV and self selecting polls etc.
Any interest in Astrodynamics? I haven't had as much time as I would like to invest in that article, so it has not been improving as quickly as I had hoped.

Hi Theresa (The Torn Steak?). You tried to edit the Reference Desk just now, but it didn't work. At the same moment, I received an "edit conflict" warning while editing that page. The result was an empty page with your fingerprints all over it. I reverted the blanking, but your edit was lost. It looks as if there is a bug in the edit conflict software.

Hi Theresa (the Kant store/net stork heat/theta ork nest/hot netskater/not a trek, Seth!) -- I've changed the paragraph about the spherical shape of the soap bubbles and gravity and air resistance. I thought about the reflections for a while and realized that actually there's more wrong with the article than just the missing 180° phase jump. There aren't just two reflections but an infinite series, and the two alone wouldn't cancel out. As the angle of incidence increases, the reflectance of the interfaces increases, and the first reflection becomes much stronger than the second; it's only the long series of further reflections that cancels it out. I'll change the text accordingly; I wonder whether the diagrams should be changed, since in them the second reflection looks equal (and opposite) to the first, and the other reflections aren't shown at all. Note also my questions about the diagrams at Talk:Soap bubble.
By the way, you said you were going to blank User talk:Wik after Jimbo's message unless you'd forget :-)

I'm at my wits' end in terms of dealing with these folks. Expressing opinions (especially on a topic that's intrinsically very emotional for some) is one thing. The kinds of personal attacks that seem to be coming from some in the anti-circ crowd is another - and I don't know what to do short of filing a mass request for comment. Pakaran . 13:39, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hm, well I'm not sure I read the situation just as you do. If the nominator is who I half-suspect, or even not, it's likely from where he sits that it's not obvious what nominations will crash and burn. Indeed, SS is not doing half-bad at some 60%. My vague impression is that he scans stats pages for overlooked big contributors and may be unaware of attendant controversies, although in nominating me he seemed to know a bit more. I also know what you mean about RfA brutality and oppose votes; I at times consider proposing a rule that opposition must be justified, as this is the norm in consensus-based systems (this I know from my days as manager of a housing co-op run on consensus, where further it would fall to one to make a counteroffer), although I'm far too exhausted to re-venture into the world of Wikipedia policy. But a good half of my opposers seemed out to settle a score rather than pondering the merits of the actual issue. Any fool can dream up a reason, of course, but it's a starting point. Oh and thanks for noting the E-mail issue; it had simply never come to my attention before, and is remedied (which is not to say I have an opinion on whether discretion is really needed here). Very Verily 10:30, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
No I think making people state a reason will worsen the personal attacks. "The reason I oppose the candidate is because they are a vile vat of stinking pus" I don't know what to do about rudeness. Perhaps I should start pulling people up on it. If we all did that it might have an effect. I dont know though. I'd probably just get the guilty ones pissed at me.

This concerns the "Cross-Dresser" article, which says it's "protected".
I'm a historian who would like to make needed changes to a few portions of that page in the interest of historical accuracy. I've posted a note (which is finally now formatted correctly) outlining why changes need to be made - please see the 'Talk' page for the article in question, and look for the comment added by myself (Allen Williamson) under the Joan of Arc section - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cross-dresser
If you would un-protect the page, I could make the needed changes to it.

On the subject of fraternal twins, the sentence said 'fraternal twin brother'. Since fraternal means 'brother' that could be removed. But since the editor had actually changed the legitimate word 'frail' to a tortological word, then I classed it as a newbie test/vandalism. Also, various other users had left vandalism warnings on his/her talk page. As for vandal in capital letters, I didn't realise that meant shouting, and the test page was not the first from that user, I don't think.

Hi, I just wanted to ask that you be more careful with your speedy deletions. Geno's Steaks is one of the most famous cheese steak places in the world and you deleted a decently written (though not wikied) article on it which someone had added the delete tag to.

Dear TK - if you insist in calling me a lier in public, and you can't prove this in a Court of Law, consider yourself warned - you lose more than time. This is not a threat. This is the 57th time I explain to you that you should behave like a grown up - responsible that is. Your public actions have public consequences. Call a medical doctor a lier in public and you make yourself your own legal file for libel. It's as you wish - I only have to place a phone call to my lawyer who has everything prepared, as you know. Let me explain that again: Justice is never a threat, no matter what your Wikipolice links and crash course taught you. They are wrong. You have no legal defense, TK. And you are liable. They will let you down for they have no money to give away for your fancy talk, painted tits, porn promotion, and erratic behavior including public offers to wear lather boots for me and I will not disclose your best yet :O) Fear not, though: I won't ask money from you, but I will put a decision of a Court of Law on your big untrained mouth! Fear of Justice is irrational. Fear not. I don't want money for you to pay for your bad behavior and insults, the misery you made to me and a few dozen others. But trust me - justice needs to be done, and I will not die before I'll have it in your case. This is a matter of principle. You could have stopped this - but you didn't because you think too high of yourself to formulate careful excuses, as needed. And as a friendly explanation, which I think might help you: Only people having something to hide, or already considering themselves guilty as you are, fear justice. If justice were a threat, would Judges be terrorists? No! Justice is a necessity. Without it, a naughty untrained girl like you can claim to be a a prima donna. Clearly, you aren't. You never edited a decent article in your life. Nil. Nada! You destroyed a few hundred, and you chased away several dozen decent, considerate, creative and lovely editors (the list of which I posess). Now bear with me that you are naughty and despite my repeated requests, you continue to be more than naughty. Ban me if you like for "personal attack" - you'll get your pint of coffe as promised, but you'll have to put up or shut up! Sorry about not letting you play with your favorite porn toy here in Wiki - but as long as Wiki is not Bomis, I won't let you delight in public porn. Your nerve and disgraceful disrespect for a fellow editor are enough. Enough is enough, TK - irismeister 00:38, 2004 Oct 21 (UTC)

RfC's are worthless, and I have made it clear in the past that I will not participate in them. I have listed Pcb on Vandalism in Progress. Rick K 23:08, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC) Threats are worthless too. As is listing someone on VIP when they are clearly not a vandal. RFC's are a precurser to arbitration. What's more they do occaionally work, not very often mind, but it's worth a try.

On reflection, you are quite right.

Sort of. I knew whither this went. I went to Alteripse.
I expressed my doubts about phimosis as the correct diagnosis months ago ( phimosis is The Excuse (96% of all infants are nonretractable so phimosis is an inappropriate diagnosis in infancy and a dubious diagnosis before puberty (yet doctors wanting more money, show the parents the nonretractability of the præpuce, and claiming that the baby has phimosis, and must have a circumcision))) to Alteripse, a doctor. I consulted with Alteripse about the diagnosis. The most probable diagnosis is iatrogenic balanitis. One thing is for certain, it could not be phimosis.
That was then. When I saw the changes of Jakew yesterday, I was it as an attempt to escape blame for what happened. I reverted, he reverted, et cetera. This morning, I realized that this gets us nowhither. I called in Alteripse with a message on talk and waited. I hoped to avoid protection, but you protected it while I waited for Alteripse. What is done is done. Since you protected David Peter Reimer anyway, I ask that it remain protected until Alteripse looks at it.
When I came to Encyclopædia WikiPedia.Org, I had fun. I created a good portion of the articles about paleocontinents and only article about a future continent ( Pangæa Ultima). Then I discovered that our friends with a special interest in universal circumcision of all babies were at work. Babies take priority. Now, Encyclopædia WikiPedia.Org is not fun any more for me. I suspect that mediating between circumcisiosexuals and intactivists is not fun for you. I thought about a policy which could make Encyclopædia WikiPedia.Org fun for us again:
Make advocating nontherapeutic procedures and modifications of minors against policy.
This is an example about one could and could not advocate minors do or someone do to minors:
Advocateble:
Nonadvocateble:
¿What is your opinion?

My opinion is that i have no opinion on this matter. I protected the page because there was an edit war, plus an email by you to anticirc activists has been put on the VP. In that email you say words to the effect of - if they want a total edit war, well give them a total edit war. Well no you wont. We regular wikipedians have had enough of both the anti circ POV pushers and the pro ones. Wikipedia is not a place where you can have fights with your enemies. It's a NPOV encylopedia. We will not tolerate this type of behaviour and will keep the article protected until the danger passes. I hope i have my position clear. Theresa Knott (Not the skater) 13:06, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
