I probably would have said something about not pressing Tan when he says that he has some disputes but is supporting anyway. A "support" like that puts me in an odd position, if it is contested (As you did, and the initial question wasn't out of line, necessarily), then I either have to be seen as "putting up with badgering" (perception) or be seen as coming down on you ''and'' trying to bury what might be damaging information about me. I posted something to tan's page apologizing for that exchange, but I don't want you to feel like you are being sold out here. ] (]) 22:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC) |

I'm wondering whether you might consider rephrasing this . We can discuss the naming of the article, and the meaning hoax. It may well be that my objection is incorrect, and people rightly may point that out, in a civil manner (as other editors have). I'm perhaps even ready to concede that I may have been wrong. But when I read your remarks, I confess to being a little offended. You seem (and I may be misreading you) to be accusing me of "intellectual dishonesty" and of not even attempting to be neutral ("could you at least try to preserve some very basic rest of being neutral.") Plus you seem to be comparing my integrity to that of a woman who has admitted criminal lies, and whom you consider a "racebaiter". That's really rather offensive. I hope I'm misreading you, because that looks like a personal attack, and a rather immense assumption of bad faith. Are you perhaps able to say that you think I was wrong, and to give your reasons why, without using language that seems to attack me. I don't think we interacted before, so I can't imagine we've any quarrel. |

:It's not a personal attack, it's ''applied logic''. For the record: I was talking about intellectual dishonesty.

But ok, I'll leave the choice to you: Either you are intellectually dishonest, or you're stupid. Or very tired, or momentarily confused for some other reason. I honestly don't see many other possible explanations for what you posted there. And since your other comments on that article talk page go in a very similar direction, namely displaying a greater interest in protecting that woman's self-forfeited privacy than in encyclopedic accuracy, I went with the imho most plausible assumption, i.e. some extent of intellectual dishonesty. Please educate me. Why else would you post an arbitrary and, as you full well know, utterly incorrect definition of "hoax" that ''just happens'' to suit your preconceptions about what should be done with the article? Point out how exactly I am wrong, and --more importantly-- how my reasoning is so implausible and far-fetched that it must have been guided by ABF.

== Misplaced Pages's Expert Peer Review process (or lack of such) for Science related articles == |
|
|
|
|
|
Hi - I posted the section with the same name on my talk page. |
|
|
Could you take part in discussion ? |
|
|
|
|
|
User: Shotwell suggested (on my talk page) "I would endorse a WP:EXPERTADVICE page that outlined the wikipedia policies and goals for researchers in a way that enticed them to edit here in an appropriate fashion. Perhaps a well-maintained list of expert editors with institutional affiliation would facilitate this sort of highly informal review process. I don't think anyone would object to a well-maintained list of highly-qualified researchers with institutional affiliation (but then again, everyone seems to object to something)." |
|
|
|
|
|
We could start with that if you would agree ... - could you help to push his idea through Misplaced Pages bureaucracy ? |
|
|
|
|
|
In my view people nominated as "expert reviewers" should be willing not to hide under the veil of anonymity. They should be able to demonstrate some level of the verifiable accomplishment / recognition in the domain of professional science . |
|
|
BTW, I do not see any reason why the anonymity of editors on Misplaced Pages is considered to be a "good thing". Above is my general opinion, so please don't take my statement personally. |
|
|
There is obviously a choice given for everyone in Misplaced Pages either to act "in open" or to hide behind meaningless assumed pseudonym and I accept this situation. |
|
|
BTW, I do understand current Misplaced Pages concept that in order to produce good Misplaced Pages science article, one does not need to be a professional scientist ... - that is fine with me ... |
|
|
But I propose to have (at least optionally) ability to review/qualify such article by the professional scientist. |
|
|
Cheers, |

You seem to be missing the point. No one is making any connection to ACORN or to fraud. The point of the Chicken Little story is about someone getting very worked up over a minor issue and blowing it out of proportion. The fact that the object in question happens to be an acorn is completely coincidental (and frankly, wouldn't have occurred to most people). Try not to assume that everyone is trying to attack you. It might help your on-wiki work. And it reduces blood pressure. ] (]) 05:14, 5 November 2008 (UTC) |

::Hey, Casliber. Check the Everyme account's contribs, and the history of Grsz11's talk page for more info. It all began at ]. I'd assemble a chronology of diffs, but what good would it do? "Harassment" is a totally overblown allegation. Basically a sissy of an editor complaining about evil me after s/he baited other users at Talk:Barack Obama. I commented there logged out (it was 3 in the morning local time and I really just wanted to check any potential progress in the discussions at the article talk page when I noticed Grsz's idiotic response to another editor, accusing him of "not contributing anything useful". I commented there (via IP), relatively civilly (imho) telling off Grsz11. He then removed my postings as trolling (which I wouldn't particularly mind) and proceeded to place a suspected sockpuppet template on the IP talk page, accusing me of being some banned or blocked editor. That's the point when I realised that Grsz11 is really your typical editing idiot, using anything they can to fight the dreadful prospect of having to respond to and possibly concede valid arguments. Sure enough, another editor chimed in at AN, weirdly saying that -- Excuse me? If yes, i.e. if this IP is indeed Everyme (it is), then ''maybe it is BfP after all'' ? What. Ever. Anyhow, the actions of that group at Talk:Barack Obama have reached cabal-like levels some time ago, and they are essentially filibustering and quick-archiving their way out of any confrontation with factual arguments. If anything, those people should be banned from the article and talk page for the sake of a more constructive editing climate. The baiting against other editors really upsets me. Grsz did not contribute anything constructive, yet openly attacks another user, Landon, of not contributing anything constructive. And I tried. I tried to civilly get my points across, but to no avail, where "no avail" means: Not even one single straight response to my points. Then another editor makes an effort to get similar points across (where many others, including admins have given up!) and, lo and behold, in response to his reasoning, Grsz11 tells him he's "not contributing anything constructive". It's the typically Misplaced Pages way of hilarious. Anyhow, I don't really give a fuck about the block, because ] when it comes to minor mainspace edits. So I wonder: why 3 weeks? why not 2? or indef? Moreover, it will not make the underlying problem go away, which imho is not my own incivility, but the continuing indulgence of harmful behaviour like Grsz11's. Civil, and not quite so civil POV pushing. That's where my incivility comes in. My incivility is a reaction, a symptom. And anyone who honestly believes that getting rid of the symptom solves anything, think again. Or don't. ''Nobel geht die Welt zugrunde'', as we say. Rule one: Be civil.

Grsz11 and his clique are making any serious contribution impossible at ] and I rightly exploded when, totally out of the blue, he responded to another user's valid reasoning with the vile and untrue personal attack that that user is "not contributing anything useful". It's ridiculous that this behaviour is indulged. If unblock is declined, I expect someone else to bring this matter to AN and place an article ban for ] and the article talk page on ] and on ], both of whom frolic at Grsz11's talk page about their successful baiting efforts. It's disheartening and distressing that the community at large indulges such behaviour. I only reacted, admittedly in a bad way, to Grsz11's outrageous comments. And he's not the only one who needs to be banned ASAP from that talk page. ] personally attacks people all the time there, and ] is simply trolling the talk page without ever having acknowledged any of the various valid arguments he has been presented with, let alone having presented any valid reasoning of his own. It's preposterous. I did not "harass" Grsz11, I ''made fun of him'', and called a spade a spade. It's not my fault how bad he is, my only fault is to call him on it in no unclear terms. Most ridiculous is his silly accusation (which yet another member of the clique agreed to at AN -- weirdly based on the assumption that I am indeed Everyme) that I am a sockpuppet of some banned or blocked user. He than ran off crying, demanding my edit to be ''oversighted'' from his talk page. Well, if he's man enough to throw baseless insults at people who make a laudable effort to present valid reasonings, with the clearcut intent to discourage those users from contributing, then he should also be man enough to be called on it. Instead, MBisanz absolves him of any wrongdoing. I'm 100% positive that MBisanz did not look into situation at all. I know that this request will not possibly be granted, but I ''do'' care about what happens at ]. The editors I mentioned should be banned from there at once. And when I'm blocked, I cannot pursue the issue at AN. But MBisanz and most admins probably wouldn't see anything wrong with anything that clique is doing anyway. Nevermind personal attacks and baiting anyone who dares to present a reasoning that goes against their POV. Nevermind the ]-onslaught. It's ridiculous, but at least I've done my best. I've presented my arguments, and the admin community, spearheaded by Matthew Bisanz, decides to ignore core content policy, ignore unacceptable behaviour by an unashamed clique, and goes with certified POV instead. Good luck with that. Well, at least it's going to be a lot ''nicer'', right?|2=You are blocked for harassment, which is valid in the circumstances. If that's not enough for you, I'll add incivility and personal attacks. This is without even bothering to look at the merits of any complaint you may have. Whatever you think of any other editor, you are expected to be civil and restrained at all times. ]]<sup>]</sup> 18:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)}} |
