Interesting things and amusing things


Civil is not a policy. It has no sanctions. It is not longstanding. People who volunteer here are longstanding. "Civil" is a vague idea poorly expressed. It does not license this school marmish finger wagging, and it does not allow Mary Whitehouse campaigns, and it does not sanction people driving off or blocking their argumentative opponents. It is the inane interpreted by the insane." Geogre (talk) 14:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


All posts regarding the recent problems concerning the aftermath of the ill advised IRC Case can be found here here please post there anything you have to say pertaining to that matter. Due to the obsessive behaviour of certain people, the page is not on my watch list. I may glance at it from time to time, then again I may not. I do not acknowledge any sanction from the Arbcom as they had no business accepting the IRC Case in the first instance. It was a malignant case from start to finish, and it remains so. I was sanctioned for daring to question IRC behaviour, and highlighting the problems it causes, and which the Arbcom still refuses to address, inspite of voting to do so. Giano (talk) 07:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Just so everyone is quite clear. Please note: ammending an illicit sanction does not make that sanction just, correct or legal. It just becomes an ammended illicit sanction, which I shall continue to ignore. Giano (talk) 17:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

And now for something completely different

Did you have that flapping bird facing to the right before? Did you, in short, flip the bird? Utgard Loki (talk) 12:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
It's the rampant/sinister FAC criteria Loki - I believe the bird is now sinister. --Joopercoopers (talk) 12:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Does that mean it's a ... a... bastard bird? (Forgot to sine my wave.) Utgard Loki (talk) 12:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't think so, he's as he's always been...........isn't he? Giano (talk) 12:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps so, but I was worrying about my own Norwegian blue who ain't moved at all since I got him, and I thought your bird had been flipping all about the flippin' cage. Utgard Loki (talk) 13:02, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry. It occurs to me that my comment probably unhelped someone. They had been aided entirely, but then my reference to Monty Python unhelped them. Utgard Loki (talk) 18:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Unhelpful commentary removed

I've removed your comments because the only purpose they served was to cause more drama. If you don't like someone, that's fine, but try to keep it out of otherwise productive discussions. EVula // talk // // 15:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

When I wish a comment removed, you will be asked to do so, until that happy day kindly mind your own business and don't be impertinent. If people wish to comment on drama that is fine, but they should not be surprised when it is pointed to them, that they are often the cause of it. Please do not return to this page until you have leart how to research and check facts! Thank you. Giano (talk) 18:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I had forgotten about my comment to 1=2 last night, but now I have started to think about it - and it occurs to me that if the Arbcom were ever brave enough to address the problem of "editors" like him causing disruption on Misplaced Pages by stirring the shit in the Admins private IRC chatroom, then the whole site would be a better place. Alas, the Arbs are not prepared to follow their own decisions and voting because as one of their number says they think "there is no problem." Do we all believe that? - No, but what happens? Ill-informed people like you turn up saying "don't talk to 1=2 like that! and there is the crux of Misplaced Pages's problems. Giano (talk) 18:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
All I'm asking is that you stop being combative for the sake of being combative. I know you're smart enough to know better, and it's very disappointing to see you attack someone in a very left-fielded way in a moderately unrelated discussion.
I don't care if you hate 1==2 (it's none of my business who you like and dislike), just don't make an issue out of your feelings in places where such feelings have no bearing. EVula // talk // // 18:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh dear, well sadly some of us don't choose to frequent chatrooms, so we have to make out comments where every one can see them, honestly and publicly. Then the Arbcom can sanction us, unlike if we make them in a snide dishonest fashion elswhere, while in conversation with the same Arbs who sanction us here. Funny place Misplaced Pages isn't it? Giano (talk) 18:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Please note that I wasn't suggesting you not say anything at all, just that you not randomly attack users you dislike, which is in line with the mentioned ArbCom sanctions, as far as I know.
Anyway, my only purposes in posting this were (a) to inform you I'd removed the comments (which I did to all three of you), and (b) ask that you stop attacking people. (a) has been addressed, and as for (b)... well, I feel I've done that as well, though I have very little faith in seeing any positive results stemming from my attempt. At any rate, I'm done here.
