| Fuck off, you stupid prick. I changed the word "explained" to "said". This is not vandalism (your first template) or original research (your second template). You need to learn some basic writing skills, in particular about how to report other people's views neutrally. This does not involve regurgitating sources word for word. Try thinking a little bit. Consider this example: | |||
| :The creationist _____ that bananas were clear evidence for the existence of an intelligent creator | |||
| Which one of these is the most neutral choice for blank? | |||
| #explained | |||
| #claimed | |||
| #said | |||
| And how much does it matter what word is used in any source you might happen to have found in which this statement appears? | |||
| #fuck all | |||
| Now, think about that, learn a bit about writing, and about humility, and don't dare to leave any insulting and dishonest templates on this or any other talk page. | |||
| ==Warning== | |||
| Regardless of whether "explained" or "said" is better in this case (personally I think "said" is more appropriate), '''do not''' call other editors "stupid prick"s or otherwise hurl abuse at them. Any more of that and you'll be blocked from editing. Discuss your editing disagreements civilly or find something else to do. ] (]) 09:07, 15 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :When I'm "welcomed" here with an accusation first of vandalism, then of original research, I'm not inclined to be nice. If the third message I get is a threat of a block, well, frankly, you can all fuck off. Block away, motherfucker. And then think about what kind of place this is, where someone can change a word for a better word, and get all this shit in return. What a poisonous bunch of cunts. | |||
