Revision as of 21:02, 8 September 2005
Why does there have to be gangs of this or that trying to redefine history to make the past look better? Why can't we all just be human? Why can't we let our words mean something? Don't you guys get it? When you confuse the meaning of a word, you make the language weaker. Language is the basis of philosophy, intelligence, and society. When you destroy language, you weaken the nations that use that language.
Block
I've extened your block by 48 hours because of this offensive edit summary. The matter has been raised at the administrators' noticeboard. — Trilobite 03:29, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I spoke out of turn in frustration and I want to clarify. I wasn't talking about the Jews as a race, only as a group within Misplaced Pages that have an admitted agenda. Since my mitochondrial DNA links me to the house of Israel, I certainly don't have anything against the bloodline.
I hope you understand that it just takes a little while for new people to grasp the hierarchy around here. I thought that a small group was trying to secretly push their agenda on a larger, more powerful group. In such a case, I would simply need to point out to the more powerful group what is happening. I've spent the morning researching the "contributions" of people who showed their hand at terrorism. I can now definitely see that the group pushing their agenda is neither weak, nor very secretive about their ulterior motives (except that most of the players don't openly confess their historically obvious prejudice). I want to play ball, but I just didn't know who I was playing with. Now I know, and I hereby add my support, to those with whom I was previously at odds, in the cause of deleting all historical information that shows Judaism in a negative light.

I'm being facetious about my desire to push any cause except great articles, of course. I certainly have nothing against the Misplaced Pages Jews because they are Jews. It just frustrates the hell out of me to see any group targeting holes in our system as a means of rewriting history and furthering their agenda to the detriment of Misplaced Pages. --Zephram Stark 18:16, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Response to Uncle Ed
In my edit history, Uncle Ed left me a little note: " 21:53, 7 September 2005 Ed Poor (not an enemy, unless that's how you want it) "
My response is: Misplaced Pages editors don't need friends in high places. We need a level playing field. The best article should rise to the top, not the one supported by the highest ranking official. If you want to help Misplaced Pages and her editors, demote administrators that use their power to unduly influence an article, and do it on their first offense. With greater power comes greater responsibility to stave off corruption. --Zephram Stark 21:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
