	:::Thanks very much for the kind and considerate comments gents. Much appreciated.
	:::Yes, it's a very bad, abusive and disruptive block. I'm happy to avoid those two articles and perhaps I should have realized that they were connected (albeit indirectly) enough to Obama to raise eyebrows. I didn't. My interest was in the racial and policing issues, as my edits show, and I was trying to keep the articles somewhat clean and NPOV, as my edits show.
	:::The name of the caller should be omitted as a BLP violation.
	:::Regarding the smears and inaccuracies stated by the trolls and stalkers who have pushed for and enforced this block against me, it should be pointed out that the edit where I actually touched some Obama content simply moved it. So no, I didn't even consider whether it was appropriate in relation to any editing restrictions, only that it seemed to me like a very good idea to streamline the article.
	:::I took the mass of Obama related mentions from the opening paragraphs of the article, where they don't belong, and moved them into the appropriate section. That's it. So allegations of POV pushing are greatly exagerated. :)
	:::The incivility and personal attacks against me by Arcayne and Bugs speak for themselves, as does the incompetent, abusive and disruptive actions of Aitias.
	:::The insinuation that I was distorting the bit about "two black men" was a mistake on my part that I didn't get a chance to fix. I was trying to take that bit out entirely from that part of the article, and actually thought I had, but I didn't get a chance to finish as it was reverted moments after I made the edit. The significance of race in that bit is unclear and it stands out to me as race baiting. So I was working to restate the sentence in a coherent fashion about the facts of the case. As is sometimes the case it takes me more than one edit to get the job done, and I didn't get a chance to finish as I was reverted by Arcayne moments after my initial edit, which only addressed the first part of the sentence where I was trying to avoid the neighbor/ witness/ old lady who asked another person to call intrigue (that I think is unhelpful and unencyclopedic). But I hadn't yet removed the irrelevant and complicated by dispute portion relating to the race of the persons seen at the house (and indeed the caller wasn't sure and the police report says they were black, all of which seems irrelevant and if it's included should be included as an inconsistency rather than in the historical section of the events as they happened).
	:::So from the original: "According to the police report the caller notified police after observing "two black males with backpacks" on the front porch, one of whom was wedging his shoulder into the door as though to force entry."
	:::I was trying to formulate would have read something along the lines of: "A caller to the police reported two males trying to enter the house." This seemed more neutral and didn't get into any of the disputed or unwarranted bits that should be dealt with in their own right if at all. I also like wording that is concise and to the point without all the intrigue and insinuation attempts promoted by the two sides of the dispute.
	:::Anyway, the bottom line on all of this is that a simple courteous "Hey, I'm not sure if you realized it, but I think the Gates articles fall under the topic ban" would have sufficed. But civility, competence and courtesy mean different things to different people. :)
	:::I edits lots of articles in a a given day, and I move about from things that interest me, to things that pop up on my watchlist, to things that are on the news or in magazines and periodicals I'm reading. So it's entirely possible that some day in the future I may edit an article that has some relation to Barack Obama. If someone has a concern it would be most helpful if they would just let me know with a nice note. (The trolling and stalking of the complainer in this case speaks for itself as far as their intentions and good will).
	::*'''Kudos to those who actually respected our assume good faith and civility guidelines in this case and who had the wisdom, common sense, and decency to suggest restraint and discussion as a first option. How amazing that not once did those involved in blocking me ask for or give me a chance to offer my input.''' Cheerios! ] (]) 03:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
	===Courtesy break===
	Per your above comment, I have unblocked you. Given that you have said you will avoid ] and similar articles I see no reason to keep this block in effect, particularly since objections to it were raised on ANI. Two other points though: 1) Parts of your comments do not do you credit, as you cast aspersions on other editors unnecessarily using words like "abusive," "trolling," and "stalking." It's understandable that you're upset and annoyed by the situation, but those kind of comments obviously don't help your case. 2) In the future, you should very much err heavily on the side of caution with respect to topics that might fall under the ban restriction. If it even seems ''remotely'' related to Obama don't get involved, or at least ask first. Obviously some things might be up for interpretation, but the Gates thing was actually fairly clear cut (for example when you moved text that actually discussed Obama, though you did not write it). As I said on ANI I have no doubt that you were editing there in good faith, but it is basically up to you to hold to your ArbCom restrictions, and if you cross the line you risk a block. If you edit something and then realize it probably falls under the topic ban, just undo yourself and I doubt anyone will make a thing of it.

	I think we should try to put this past us now and move on. Happy editing. --] <small>\| ] \| ]</small> 04:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
	:Very kind of you BTP. I thought your comments and those of a few other editors/admins were quite well reasoned and appropriate in the ANI discussion, which was interesting to follow. Those who offered encouragement here on my talk page were also very kind and generous to do so. An unexpected block out of right field when someone has been editing in good faith with only good intentions can be quite demoralizing.
	:I would like to clarify some things.
	:1) As far as your "not being one of my favorite admins", nothing could be further from the truth. I like all well meaning and good faith editors of which you are certainly one. My point, which I've tried to be consistent on, is that you have a strong point of view politically and that from what I've seen you would do well to restrain from administrative actions towards editors who are editing from a point of view at odds with your own, because from what I've seen I think you have difficulty seeing good faith and the reasoning behind their editing, just as they have difficulty seeing and relating to some of the liberal positions advanced (more commonly) by many editors here. I've disagreed with many of those who are my closest friends on Misplaced Pages, and I think it's important to be able to be open and honest in disagreement, while maintaining respect for one another. I apologize if I haven't done a good job of expressing that to you in the past, I thought I had.
	:2) You are always welcome on my talk page and I encourage courteous comments and suggestions offered in good faith. What I've objected to are threats and intimidation. If you treat me respectfully as a fellow editor, I know we won't have any problem. And as my edits are generally straight down the middle I don't anticipate any problems on political subjects either. But where I've tried to abide by our NPOV guidelines and to include perspectives that are notable and critical of Obama and his policies I have found you to be influenced by your personal beliefs, which is understandable, but I don't think makes you the best editors to play the role of enforcer.
	:3) The actions of trolls and stalkers speak for themselves. When I've made it clear to an individual that I don't find their comments helpful or informative and they continue to post incessantly on my talk page, to involve themselves in my discussions on other editors' talk pages, to engage in discussion about me on other editors pages, and to pursue administrative actions against me at every opportunity, I think pointing out their pond scum like qualities is not only fair, but appropriate. Those descriptive terms are also accurate in describing characters that don't appear to make any useful or helpful contributions to Misplaced Pages's content. Cheers! ] (]) 04:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

	:::Now I'm following you Ched! Seems wrong somehow. :-)

	:::I don't want to rehash our past disagreements C of M so I'll let your first point go, but obviously we know where the disagreement lies. As to the "trolls" type comments, I'm just telling you they don't do you any favors in a situation like this, and there's simply no need for them, but ultimately you will say what you want to say, of course. Also I would not hesitate to contact you on your talk page if I needed to, the only reason I commented on ANI that it would be better for another admin to ask you to not edit the articles in question was that I had specifically told you I would avoid enforcing ArbCom remedies against you, since you were uncomfortable with me doing that. Dropping a note on your talk page is not exactly enforcing a remedy, but I wanted to err on the side of caution.

This is simply not acceptable. As a courtesy to you I agreed to not enforce the Obama ArbCom remedies against you, but another admin would be well within their rights to block you for that talk page edit.

	:Seems like a rather aggressive trim. I was about to revert all the edits, but the way they're gunning for me I don't need a Karl Rove edit showing up in my history. The Wiki-Nazis are already after me. You have to admit the bit about him distributing an opponent's campaign flyers with notice about free beer at shelters and rock concerts was fairly awesome... I mean totally inappropriate. Some of the section retitling look okay. :) I'm trying to focus on the positive.
	:Meanwhile I tried to clean up some of the smears and BLP violations on ], but user:Ratel is very focused on including every possible tabloid smear and innuendo to out Drudge as being gay. I don't have any idea whether the guy is gay or not, but what kind of person spends that much time trying to attack another human being? I guess anything goes if it's a conservative? Yikes. Seems kind of sick to me. ] (]) 02:22, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
	::I didn't look at the Rove edits so closely--some of them seemed fine, some not so. I do like my politics a bit cleaner than the average American campaign allows. But let's not go name calling--saying that only conservatives can get attacked with impunity is not ], and you know it. I'm staying far, far away from all of those articles--they suffer heavily from recentism and from the bipolar political climate. And the very existence of the blogosphere is not helping anything or anyone. Ha, I'm a total ] (he said, while typing away wirelessly on his laptop). ] (]) 02:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
	:::You missed an amusing discussion on ] where a couple of editors were outraged by the idea that he should be identified as liberal or partisan, despite the guy's latest book and his NYTimes blog being titled '']''. I was told that trying to identify him as such was like calling him a communist. Which is probably true. :) But I have a tough time arguing with him and all the reliable sources discussing his partisanship and attacks on the Bush administration when the rest of the article is sourced to his opinion pieces. C'est la vie. ] got signed to a four-year contract. Did I tell you about that? How's ] holding up? Don't put any more of these Conservative thread titles on my page by the way. I only want thread titles that are NPOV. Yes we can. ] (]) 03:11, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
	::::Hmm I'm sorry I missed that. I'm pleased to hear about Jerraud Powers, and don't know a thing about Wilson. The more I follow football players after their college careers, the more I am convinced that college athletics is great for lots of people, but not for the vast majority of the players. I do apologize for the title--but then, I just mentioned his name, dude. Oh, I took the opportunity to proofread your post. Report me at ANI if you like. ;) ] (]) 03:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

	:My mistake. I've tried to correct. Now I have to write an article for the Dutch player's birthday I used for your cake. I should have used Leopold de Beers. Oh I found another one I can use. Thank goodness. Imagine my having to write about Dutch soccer players... Ugh. :) ] (]) 05:25, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
	*I sure hope Malik saw the message/apology before this bold refactoring. You know what, I'm going to put Obama's name on my talk page, and your first edit there will be your last. Oh! He's on yours now! Does that mean you can't edit your own talk page anymore? Well, there's always the talk page for your talk page...

	::Yeah, but honestly I think it's too messed up here for him. I kind of pull for people to get out of here. That's why I haven't posted anything to Tru. I'm really hoping he made out into the light. When it's you and me I know I don't have to worry. We're already messed up beyond repair. :) ] (]) 05:27, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

	::::(edit conflict. I was just commenting on that actually...) You're up awfully late by the way! And the USDA reference was to a USDA website that has plant images. I was very impressed with it when we were able to use some great photos and illustrations on a couple of LoS's new articles. So I was noting my dismay that for other plants there were either no photos and in another case they were copy-righted. That admin like to ABF, what can you do? Even when they're proved wrong they stick to their guns. Speaking of which, remember when congress extended copy-rights for their media buddies so ] wouldn't go public domain? Those sleazy slime, and you better believe the liberal media didn't have much to say about that atrocity. Keep those profits flowing. Kind of reminds me of your environmental and taxation "principles". :) ] (]) 05:35, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 18:20, 5 December 2024

Child, take a look what has happened to the No Gun Ri (Massacre) page. Then look at edits. Feb and March "CJHanley" is the same Hanley mentioned in the article itself. Excised all materials about himself, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.188.140.194 (talk) 12:11, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

The Bacon Challenge 2010 was a massive success with four Good Articles (GAs) produced, lots of photographs and an illustrious porkasmorg of DYKs for National Pig Day on March 1... and in dribs and drabs after as even more DYKs keep coming, so keep your eyes peeled for more bacon. The final scoring for the (first ever) Bacon WikiCup 2010 are still being tabulated. And the Bacon Challenge 2011 has officially kicked off for sign-ups and new bacon article idea submissions!!!

The prophetic view of a heavenly-anointed master of rhetorical interaction and richochetotry (aka Proofreader77)

Rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form — noting that when someone knows enough about rhetoric to know where the knobs are, he or she can attempt to turn it down, but not before. {serious smile}

Midnight Comes

{CoM.001.01} ____ WHEN GANGS OF BULLIES gather, Midnight comes
{CoM.001.02} ____ destabilizing bullshit with her own.
{CoM.001.03} ____ The truth is wasted on the nasty bums
{CoM.001.04} ____ who fill up "ad hoc firing squads" well known ...

{CoM.001.05} ____ ... at ANI — which gives the vile a role
{CoM.001.06} ____ with T-shirts marked "community" to wear.
{CoM.001.07} ____ Decision on the facts is not the goal.
{CoM.001.08} ____ Humiliation is. No, not "what's fair."

{CoM.001.09} ____ Some vague aspersion cast is made to stick
{CoM.001.10} ____ by snowball bullshit that's then packed on top.
{CoM.001.11} ____ Antagonizing target till they're sick
{CoM.001.12} ____ with social blows which no one will make stop.

{CoM.001.13} ____ THEN ChildofMidnight comes and says: FUCK THAT!
{CoM.001.14} ____ (No matter if you're Wales or Bureaucrat.)

I have had tears of joy come to my eyes frying an egg remembering ChildofMidnight in action — defending someone while they slept, leaving them safe from harm until they arrived, and found nothing they needed to do. The horror had past. And by the way, God Herself sent me here to say this, ladies and gentlemen. Have a care with ChildofMidnight — Judgment Day comes ... sooner than you think. {Serious smile}
