The personal attack intervention noticeboard (PAIN), created on ] ], was intended as a counterpart to ]. A person with complaints over ] could, after giving warnings, report a personal attacker on this page.
==Open reports==
<!-- Place reports below this line only after there has been reply to the report -->


Unfortunately, the noticeboard generated a considerable amount of controversy. While ] is usually a clear cut case, and administrator intervention (i.e. blocking) is usually uncontroversial, determining whether a comment is a personal attack, incivil, or just simply blunt and frank, can be quite ]. That led to a lot of arguments, flame wars, tit-for-tat disputes and ] on this page. Even after several warnings as well as changes to the header designed to instruct users on how to use this page, this noticeboard continued to deteriorate. Due to this deterioration as well as some particularly poor exchanges in December 2006, the entire page was ], with the result that the noticeboard was closed on {{#formatdate:10 January 2007}}.

After disambiguating a term ] at ], ] undid the disambiguation and placed on my talk page stating that basically ''I'm not in charge''. After explaining to him the disambiguation policy and to assume good faith in , he started his personal attacks.
*"Don't mess with it again, and try to get a life nerd" , after which I told him that he shouldn't use personal attacks (no warning yet)
*Taking the note as a threat, he wrote "Are you threatening me nerd? You don’t have enough courage to keep up a conversation with rational arguments? I strongly suggest you get a life and keep away from Iran, Iranian culture and Iranian subjects." . At this point I sent a {{tl|npa2}}
*He then wrote "I strongly suggest you get a life" and "Remember you are nobody and nobody put you in charge."

The closure of this noticeboard does not mean that personal attacks are tolerated; they should never be. It simply means that complaints over personal attacks are moved to different, and more appropriate venues such as the ], ] or, as a last resort, ].

:I suppose that the "incorrigible" nature of this editor in applying separate standards for style (because Americans are ''so different''), as well as general ignorance of my ethnic roots, making disparaging comments about the nature of it and saying he knows more than I, a native American unlike he. His inflammatory comments were the first such in my life that I ever took a stand against with respect to my American ethnicity and United States citizenship. I also voted for George W. Bush and I'm sure that will weigh against me here. Then again, Jimbo is a Randian and would understand where I'm coming from in contrast to hyphenated Americans--as he is an ethnic American like me. You know, don't bother defending America's colonial ethnics from pre-1776 or at least before the first census in 1790.

::This guy has been making many severe insults, such as false analogies and relativism about ethnic identity. I believe his arguments to be of the new and revisionist social science, that diminishes ethnicity and focuses more on the human experience apart from "]s". This inaccuracy with his argumentations result in the debasement of my people and my country, by insinuating that my country is a whorehouse of vagabonds. To top it off, it is further enraging that he has tried to abolish the non-notional, but extant social sector of America descended from those responsible for giving him a country to emigrate to. An American's hero would be ] or ], or ], or ], or ], or ]; a German-American's hero would be ] or at least ], or ], or ]. This man Brendel is an immigrant trying to basically "educate the natives" about their people and land, which means he is talking down to me and essentially all whitebread Americans. I would welcome his American hyphen if he learnt to tolerate our customs and sense of being, rather than be such a dictator on terms that are only expounded by new ]. I need not tell those other Americans that his imperialist attitude to my "colonial" self is unappreciated and actively hostile. There is no more intolerance I recieve than meddlesome ignorance from a foreigner like this, through my day after day existence. I recieve German tourists every week at my place of employment. Thank God they do not interfere with judgements about the status of Americans vis a vis hyphenated Americans. If they did, I would refuse service and do without the patronage. That should be enough to explain how Brendel is way out of line and rude above all, naivete being no excuse--but arrogance a surely more accurate depiction of his attempts to eradicate the American people from a place here on Misplaced Pages. He may say he loves America, but he does not make for a welcome stay and express congeniality to his hosts. His hosts are not hyphenated Americans, but Americans themselves. I cannot account for those Americans who hate their identity and ANACHRONISTICALLY choose to trace their heritage to Europe, but that is probably a further reason why Americans are increasingly a minority in their own homeland--according to the U.S. Census Bureau at least. Hyphenation of George Washington to English American is an anachronism. Please don't accept anachronisms as entirely accurate. ] would be so incensed with this rabble rouser as to demand a duel and whoop this man's ass for such impudence! He knows not! His attitude is more or less the same as Britons calling Americans "colonials". I would tell anybody like that to fuck off. The difference between Brendel and myself, is that I am unashamed to be called a "cowboy", but he would be insulted to be compared to true Americans. Germany is not a country which supplied America with '''cowboys''' (Germany supplied us with merchants, miners and mercenaries--during the Civil War especially)--we had them here when 1776 rolled around. Go ahead and spit on this cowboy. ] 08:03, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Well as you are so fond of stating Moody, offer up all the facts. You seem to keep forgetting that your buddies have been doing the instigating and staging random attacks. Not to mention have attacked me and you have done nothing but warn me. I find it interesting that your group is the only ones creating the unrest. I'm simply trying to keep them from totally demolishing some good pages. If need be I too can cite attacks and abuse. The pot calling the kettle black simply gets everyone covered in soot. Most immediately I’m looking for fairness and integrity...in short honesty! Again I have made no threats against anyone. I did tell the sock puppet WLU who suddenly showed up to edit war to divulge his/her true identity. To be honorable rather than hide. But he/she would much rather play games in his/her sudden attack against the Goodkind pages. As I've said. I have compiled several pages of material of these people planning and encouraging people to vandalize the Goodkind pages on their ASOIAF Message board. They did and I called them out.

I again call them out to edit in good faith. Which all we see is a couple of them edit warring. Deleting and tagging what they see as errors. Look IF you see a problem... stop and fix it! Don't tag it and run... Act in Good Faith! All we see is attacks against the Goodkind pages. If you don't like the way the material reads then edit it. Fix it! Some people only wish to create problems...as we see with Neofreak and WLU.

Stop being part of the problem and help the solution. Also if you are going to tattletale then do so for all parties involved. Show all the abuse... not just the person to who is trying to combat the vandalism. Trying for a high EDIT count is not reason to just go hopping about tossing tags on everything.

But I am not obligated to identify conduct I do not consider egregious enough to warrant intervention simply because you consider it so.

{{user|SqueakBox}} was blocked for a week per his personal attack parole (resulting from arbitration) for writing on his user page that one of his achievements was

This is a veiled reference to {{user|Hagiographer}}, who acts exactly like {{user|Zapatancas}}, the other party in arbitration. Squeakbox modified the reference so it now says,
:''restoring José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero from the POV of another user who claims to write about saints. ''
Hgiographer claims this is still a personal attack and changed the user page on his own several times before it was protected. I would like some idea on whether the revised statement is acceptable or whether it sill constitutes a personal attack. No action is required at this time as Squeakbox is currently blocked for other reasons. ] 12:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
:*'''Comment''': In my opinion, the revised statement remains a personal attack. If nothing else, it implies that {{user|Hagiographer}} can't write, which is an insult. But also (and possibly more importantly given that this is an Arbcom matter), it's evidence that {{user|SqueakBox}} has little interest in adhering to the ''spirit'' of the Arbcom ruling, even if he is willing, under extreme admin pressure, to adhere to the ''letter'' of the ruling. If this was a run-of-the-mill matter, I'd slap an {{tl|npa3}} tag on Squeakbox's user talk page in a heartbeat.

:This guy has attacked me, thegreyanomaly multiple times.


:::User Thegreyanomaly the article "Indian Buddhist Movement" is about Religious movement which is growing in India slowly since last 50 years. If you are anti-Buddhist we certainly don't have any objection about your religion. You can be a Brahmin-Hindu if you are a priest by profession in any temple otherwise you are a Shudra-Hindu because all non-priest i.e. non-Brahmins are SHUDRA in Hindu Religion. In Kali Yuga Hindus have only two Varna as per the religious philosophy of Hindus. If you are from India then you might be knowing that Buddhism in India was totally killed. Some blame Brahmins Or some blame Muslims for that, it is a vast topic of study. I don't want to blame anybody. Hindu Castiesm, Hindu Untouchability and Caste based Graded Inequality became very strong after fall of Buddhism in Indian sub-continent and before British came to India. Education to all non-Brahmins was banned and the rigid Hindu Religious laws made by Brahmins like Manusmriti, VishnuSmriti and other DharmaShastras became the laws to govern the non-Muslim society.

:::British gave education for all and broke the anti-Human Hindu Laws. After Independence Dr. Ambedkar revived Buddhism in India. He also established "Buddhist Society of India" certainly NOT Navayana Society! So there is no meaning branding the movement as Navayana. Because the founder of India's Buddhist Revival Movement which is certainly against Hindu Casteism and injustice that Hindus are doing since hundreds of years called his movement as Buddhist Movement. Also Dr. Ambedkar said that 'He will convert whole India back to Buddhism' but he was killed just within 6 weeks after his conversion to Buddhism. Some people blamed Brahmins for his death. It is not sure how he died. I dont want to blame anybody. So you can discuss current Buddhist Developments in the article "Indian Buddhist Movement". About Hindu Caste and related things you better write to Hindu Articles Or Caste Related to Articles. If Navayana is a anto-caste publication then you should put that link in Caste Related article.

:::In India legal system we have Hindus, Muslims, Christens and BUDDHIST as different religion. Expecially our 2001 cencus gives more details about different religions population. We dont have any 'Navayana Buddhist' in whole India neither it is recognized legally anywhere. Officially we have around 1% Buddhists in India. This population unofficially can be 4% also because thousands of people are converting to Buddhism. But lets take official figures.

:::Caste is a problem of Hindus certainly not the problem of Buddhists. Be a contributor to wikipedia but don't just try to vandalise different articles. Dhammafriend 10:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
:This one was both on my ] and on ]
: I responded to him
:::Umm... I'm an EX-Brahmin who converted to Theravada Buddhism...
:::I edited Navayāna into the article because in <u>Buddhism in India : Challenging Brahmanism and Caste</u> by Gail Omvedt (This book is incredibly anti-Caste and is pro-Buddhist) I have read Neo-Buddhism being referred to as Navayana, which is is obviously a non-IAST transliteration of navayāna.

:::"Ambedkar's Buddhism seemingly differs from that of those who accepted by faith, who 'go for refuge' and accept the canon. This This much is clear from its basis: it does not accept in totality the scriptures of the Theravada, the the Mahayana, or the Vajrayana. The question that is then clearly put forth: is a fourth <i>yana</i>, a Navayana, a kind of modernistic Enlightenment version of the Dhamma really possible within the framework of Buddhism?" (8)

:::The book blatantly says that Ambedkar DESIGNED what has become known as navayāna.
:::He did not found the Navayana publishing house. I edited in that there is a Navayana publishing house into the article so people would not confuse, navayāna, yāna, and Navayana, the publishing house.

:::I'm going to put the navayāna comment back into ]. Please do not edit it out again. Navayāna is an accepted name of neo-Buddhism.

:While the complaint is still pending, he just made more ethnic attacks against me. He called me "anti-Buddhist" and characterized my alleged "Caste" by referring to me as a "Brahmin"/"Shudra" (amusingly, I'm not even a Hindu).I am adding diffs to that effect in the PAIN report but I humbly request you to please intervene. His inflammatory comments in the talk page of ] are making it very difficult for us legitimate editors to create a good article. The diffs of his most recent attacks are below:

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.
This process has been discontinued per this discussion.

The personal attack intervention noticeboard (PAIN), created on 7 October 2005, was intended as a counterpart to the request for intervention against vandalism page. A person with complaints over personal attacks could, after giving warnings, report a personal attacker on this page.

Unfortunately, the noticeboard generated a considerable amount of controversy. While vandalism is usually a clear cut case, and administrator intervention (i.e. blocking) is usually uncontroversial, determining whether a comment is a personal attack, incivil, or just simply blunt and frank, can be quite subjective. That led to a lot of arguments, flame wars, tit-for-tat disputes and wikilawyering on this page. Even after several warnings as well as changes to the header designed to instruct users on how to use this page, this noticeboard continued to deteriorate. Due to this deterioration as well as some particularly poor exchanges in December 2006, the entire page was nominated for deletion, with the result that the noticeboard was closed on 10 January 2007.

The closure of this noticeboard does not mean that personal attacks are tolerated; they should never be. It simply means that complaints over personal attacks are moved to different, and more appropriate venues such as the administrators' noticeboard, dispute resolution or, as a last resort, arbitration.
