| :'''''"* You may not link or suggest links to your own sites"''''' I have just seen this message, so I am not prepared to respond to all points, but this point seems to be in violation of current ] policy: ] clearly says that "If you feel it necessary to make changes to Misplaced Pages articles despite a real or perceived conflict of interest, we '''strongly encourage''' you to submit content for community review on the article's talk page or file a ] to the wider community, and to let one or more trusted community members judge whether the material belongs in Misplaced Pages," not that I suggest links to my web papers very often. Also, ] point 6 states that "'''If your product is truly relevant to an article, others will agree -- try the talk page.''' We usually recommend that editors ] in adding directly to articles. But if the above advice makes you concerned that others will regard your contribution as spam, you can find out without taking that risk: Describe your work on the article's talk page, asking other editors if it is relevant." This one requirement alone is a violation of the ] policy I just quoted. I am interested to see what my the violations are. As I recall, I was accused of linking to my site, promoting my site, and excessive talk, but last I heard, talk is permitted, even if it is a ] viewpoint. To restrict a person's speech based on content seems a violation of ] policy, but I have not seen the latest posts.--] 00:36, 25 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Gordon, I saw this comment of yours: "I have proof here that others are lying when they claim...". Now, I don't know if people are right or wrong, but I'm sure they aren't lying. At worst, they are mistaken. Can I trouble you to choose your words more carefully in the future? Thanks, ] 21:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Maybe they ''are'' lying; I call a ] a spade. However, I did make a point to be polite, did I not, in the process of calling a lie? | |||

| ::::That can make it easier, not that these things are ever easy. All the best, ] 02:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::::I concur with Ben's advice, and I'd like to join him in offering sympathy on the death of your cousin. Regarding Misplaced Pages, my advice would be to make great use of the preview button. Ask yourself if there's anything in the text or in the edit summary that will irritate people. If there is, do you ''really'' need to post it? Can you leave out that bit? Can you reword it? Don't argue over every little point. You're convinced you're right, and I'm not going to argue with you, but I'll just say that even if you ''are'' right, if you see people changing their votes to something ''more restrictive'' (or changing from "Oppose" to "Strong oppose" at your RFA) because they're irritated by your determination to have the last word, then even if it doesn't tell you that they're right and you're wrong, it should at least tell you that it would be wise to stop doing it. People do sometimes lose what they want because they fight too hard for it, and that seems to have been happening to you. I'm also disappointed at your accusations that others are lying, just as I was disappointed when Calton accused you, wrongly, of lying. I pointed out at the Terri Schiavo talk page that Calton's accusations against you were false, and Musical Linguist pointed out the same thing, in greater depth, at the Community noticeboard. But in behaving the same way yourself, you are actually making Calton look better, and also embarrassing the people who are trying to help you. The child who tells his teacher that he really did do his French homework but the dog ate it is presumably lying (if what he says is not true), byt someone who says that Gordon posts too much or Calton posts too much or Elinor posts too much is unlikely to be lying, since "too much" is an impression, and can't be answered by numbers. Try not to make such accusations, Gordon, as it's a violation of ] to do so, and doesn't really help your case. Anyway, best wishes, and sorry again about your bereavement. ] ] 13:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::Thank you for your feedback, ElinorD. I understand that, in some cases, such a claim of lying is subjective (like when I personally feel that someone saying "too much" is false), but remember, I qualify that statement this is merely my interpretation and offer an objective (not subjective) proof with numbers. However, some of the things that I suggested are lies (like that it is alright to ban or discipline a person simply for the content of their posts -or the length, if it is not exorbitant), ARE violations of policy, and such a violation would be morally equivalent to a lie, as it is theft of access. Lastly, whether I disagree or not, I generally try to be polite and flexible, but there is a point to which I will not compromise, and the actions of the others in this case are inappropriate, because the things they did to me (as elucidated in my RfArbitration) are things which they would not want to be done -that is, things which violate policy. Consensus does not trump policy: ]. I try to be polite, but there is a point where I must oppose inappropriate treatment / violations of policy, since the latter affects numerous parties, and consensus does not trump policy. (If someone hates policy, either change it or leave, lol.)--] 02:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

I'm not making fun of you, Guy, even though I very well may win big. Lastly, I'd like to point out that my naming of you in the RfArbCom is not an attempt to pick on you. Rather, since there were numerous combatants who I feel violated the policy, I had to limit my naming to a few, and you, as the admin who executed the mood of the community were named as a representative party.

| == Arbitration notes == | |||
| We generally ask that opening statements be kept to arounf 500 words. You are not trying to prove your case, but rather to show the arbitrators that there is a case needing to be heard. This is not a new rule but has not been emphasized in the past and not noted prominently on the ] page. Following requests from several arbitrators, we are beginning to enforce this more closely. Can you kindly edit or re-word your request to come closer to this guide? | |||
| :As I was trying to reply to Guy and Elinor, I saw your post in the changes diff, and am just now replying; I'll try to follow the protocol you suggest; Sorry if I "missed the mark," but I don't do this type thing very often.--] 02:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Also, you must notify editors you consider a party to this dispute '''now''', when you file the request, and post diffs of the notifications in the '''Confirmation''' section of your request. These parties must have a fair chance to comment. Once the case is opened, the clerks will perform official notifications that the case has been opened. I know you have notifiefd Guy and Calton; if there is anyone else you consider a party to this dispute, please add their name to the request and notify them now. Thank you. ] 02:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I did notify the editors which were named, but I did not post the diff, since I figured we were on the "honor system," however, after I consider whether others are a "party," I shall go about notifying ''all'' the editors ''and'' posting the diffs, as you request, ''']'''; It may take a while, but I shall presently undertake to grant and fulfil your request.--] 02:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

But, based on the comment of Thatcher above, I am naming all those who are involved. Just in case you're curious, I'm almost through -and considering I DID NOTHING worthy of a ban in the first place (made no improper edits, did not edit war, etc), I would appreciate it if you let me add the remaining few editors.--] 08:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

If they're honest, they'll do like me and admit they were wrong about the initial presumption that there ''was'' a consensus against me. (Yes, I was wrong about that presumption too!

| *Unfortunately your statement may be 500 words more or less, but your rebuttals add another 2000 words to the total. Requests for arbitration is not meant to be a discussion or a debate. I think a rebuttal to the votes of the arbitrators is a reasonable addition, but can you do something about the rest? If your main concern is that there was insufficient agreeement to constitute consensus, a link to the discussion and a brief recap should be sufficient; I would normally expect the arbitrators to follow significant links and verify them as part of their determination. ] 13:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

However, I may be slow in granting your request, because I want to read all the new messages (diff-by-diff) before I respond in any fashion.

| ==Your response at ]== | |||
| Firstly, I'm not sure why you split my comment in two; it was a single statement. I'm not against you seeking response in brief comments. I was talking about the ones of excessive length, not that I wanted to silence you completely. Feel free to seek consensus in modestly sized comments. However, I can't see comments like "''Relax, Leebo: This policy won't kill you.''" and "''I'm not the problem. You are, so relax; it will be alright.''" helping you in this ArbCom request. Whether you meant it or not, I perceive your tone as condescending. <font color="#1874CD"><b>]</b></font><small><sup><font color="B22222">]</font></sup></small> 14:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I do not mean to condescend (that is, I do not wish to imply you are a child or that you are stupid) - let me look again at my reply to see if I misrepresented your position by accident.--] 14:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::Your condescending tone is manifested in stuff like "Relax; it will be alright", as though I'm fretting over this and need to be calmed down. It's unnecessary. <font color="#1874CD"><b>]</b></font><small><sup><font color="B22222">]</font></sup></small> 14:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::Well, I tried to make major attitude adjustments to myself (see my reply: ), correcting my accidental misrepresentation of you and your view -but you still are a little bit too "tense" about some aspects (for example, word length), which are somewhat exaggerated. I usually don't post much AT ALL on the talk pages, so it all works out in the end, but if I am attacked, hey, sometimes I ''will'' reply with force and quantity/quality, etc. It is at my discretion -if I must address inaccuracies.--] 14:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::::On another note, is it necessary to respond to people in the ArbCom ''request''? If they accept the case, then there will be plenty of time to present evidence and discuss each statement. I'm not entirely familiar with RfArb proceedings, but that would seem to make sense. <font color="#1874CD"><b>]</b></font><small><sup><font color="B22222">]</font></sup></small> 15:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Well, I feel that if I show misdeeds, it is a stronger case that "we need to investigate" please note the two "decline" votes already entered. Yes, I don't much like to respond, but I feel occasionally a lie (or maybe a simple mistake) needs light shined (shone) upon it! Ya know. Besides, IF the case is taken, there is plenty for them to look at: I would kind of prefer they TAKE the case and STOP ALL comments unless solicited from them; We have more than enough facts to proceed. Too many facts dilute the truth -and make it too lengthy to read.--] 15:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Why are you dissecting each arbitrator's decision? Accusing them of not reading the case isn't going to win them over, I can assure you of that. Also, the idea that 2 of them decided "before you realized there was no consensus" is bogus. You can't count every person who commented in the thread as the base line for the total number for people who supported a single sanction. I think one of the later statements said that over 85% of the people who commented in the motion to close supported the sanctions summarized by JzG. You can't count all the people who ever posted a single comment in that total. <font color="#1874CD"><b>]</b></font><small><sup><font color="B22222">]</font></sup></small> 04:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :'''"one of the later statements said that over 85% of the people who commented in the motion to close supported the sanctions summarized by JzG"''' Since the only options on which a person could "vote" were one which were "against" me, then ALL votes in those columns were, perforce, against me. But -those who were "against" me were less in number than those who were "for" me. The mere fact that a thread or voting option was lacking for them does not negate the fact that they refused to support the options enumerated. '''"Why are you dissecting each arbitrator's decision?"''' Did you not see Thatcher's note to me stating that ?? I agree. Besides, if the vote is wrong, and no one brings it to the attention of the voting arbiter, then an injustice is not only going to happen to me -but it will "set precedent" that this type of rogue Adminship behaviour is OK. Not so fast. '''"You can't count every person who commented in the thread as the base line for the total number for people who supported a single sanction."''' Oh? Then WHAT should be the baseline? To count only those against me? No. In figuring who "won the election," you count ALL those who "voted," and anyone who posted to the page, "voted" either in support of an item -or, by silence -not in support.--] 04:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::So, in effect, someone who commented and never returned to the discussion (even if they commented that they supported the ban, but didn't post in the motion to close) is a vote "for" you? <font color="#1874CD"><b>]</b></font><small><sup><font color="B22222">]</font></sup></small> 05:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::No! If they commented against me -but did not "vote" on the line, it still counts as a vote against me -and I ''did'' go looking for those "stray" votes, and I found, like one, but there were not enough to tilt the scale against me. Most were NOT in favour of any of the sanctions -with the caveat that ''maybe'' a slim majority supported some sort of talk page constraints -such as we had a few years ago -constraints that applied to all editors on total numbers of posts -a word length restriction would be more sensible, because we all need to make occasional minor typo corrections.--] 05:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :::::Yep. However, when I was blocked that one time for 12 hours, I was mainly doing just that sort of thing (article, not talk), and it was a misunderstanding -I had thought that we had done away with that agreement -as I think I saw other editors making more than 3 per day of copyedit or such.--] 05:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Did I read that correctly? Your community sanction is akin to the oppression of the slaves? Actually, it seems to me as though any policy or guideline that doesn't correlate ''exactly'' with how you feel is of questionable validity in your mind. Any consensus against you is questionable. If we allowed our policies and guidelines to be bent every time someone said "but what if all of Misplaced Pages is wrong?" they wouldn't mean squat. <font color="#1874CD"><b>]</b></font><small><sup><font color="B22222">]</font></sup></small> 14:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :No - I didn't say that - just read what is written. I recall saying that sometimes the majority CAN be wrong -and using that as an example. Saying that I am a slave is putting words into my mouth. Just read the whole ArbCom page a few times over (my case and the others on that page for balance) and it may sink in.--] 14:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ==Hmm...== | |||
| I feel you misinterpreted my comments on your community ban discussion. I was merely supporting you being allowed to reply to people who wanted to ban you; however, I do not disagree with the ban (and I'm unsure as to why you named me as a party in your RFArb case). ]<small> (]) (])</small> 23:17, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| My interpretation of the rules is that all parties (even those with minor participation) must be named to be fair. Regarding your feeling that I should have been banned, barred, or otherwise restricted or disciplined in some way, you have yet to make your case, but thank you for supporting my right to speak. | |||
| Since usually my edits don't get reverted (implying that I am a good editor), I don't see what the furor is all about regarding me editing some article or the other (other than that people don't like my opinions, which are sometimes in the minority)-I mean, I don't, like, vandalize, or edit war: I respect consensus and usually stay far away from 3-reverts. | |||
| My beef is that you have people who know almost nothing about me saying falsehoods like that my only purpose is to promote my newspaper or something. Since I have made VERY few comments in all my time here along those lines, this is a falsehood. (I'm not accusing YOU of that, but showing an example of false claims.) | |||
| Also, since most of the referrals to my websites DON'T come from Misplaced Pages's pages, it is not necessary for me to use Misplaced Pages to promote my websites. It's amazing how much some person who doesn't even know me thinks he or she knows about me -usually just repeating rumors, and assuming. You know where rumors and assuming usually get a person. | |||
| However, as a matter of fact: #1: I don't feel I violated any rule, and #2: Even in spite of the fact you regretfully support some sort of ban, voting is now closed in my community action; If you still feel this way, feel free to comment on my ArbCom case, but please don't just spout off -please (if you will) read all the case and facts FIRST -that is, the community discussion (now archived) where you initially posted -and, all the growing pages of the ArbCom case -a lot of people thinkg I was mistreated -and that i am not the only person so treated badly.--] 03:23, 27 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
