== Near-vandalism ==

Niko, I reverted your last edit with an edit summary of "near-vandalism", and I mean it. Appealing to "unverifiable" about the naming issue is logically outrageous at the best of times (and no, I am not going to explain to you again why, because you evidently are not interested to understand), but doing so when the very source cited in that entry actually uses "Macedonia" pure and simple is the height of impudence.
As for the main article, no, I'm not going to have more talk. We've had all the talk there was to be had on this topic, more than has been good for anybody. All has been said, now it just needs to be seen through. ] ] 14:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:For the small issue: Hadn't checked the source. I had cited three reasons. The other two were "confusing" and "precedent". lol I acknowledge your kindness to add "near"... ]] 14:37, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:For the main article: So in essence "you will do what you like because you say so and you don't care what everybody else thinks because you are the ultimate authority". Got it. BTW, I was very much interested to understand, but seeing that your position is ''me'' to understand, and you ''not'', well... I'm inclined to follow your example. Last time you had given a very obscure ultra-elaborated wiki-lawyering interpretation on why you thought that articles related to Greece should be treated differently from those dealing with EU, UN, NATO etc. And then you are accusing everybody else that their opinions are not worth replying to. Please calm down, because you are losing it. I'm telling you because I consider you my friend also. You seem like you are obsessed with this. Really. ]] 14:37, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
:: ''You'' telling ''me'' to calm down? ''Re'', you've got some nerves. Says the person who was ranting on about how our wikipedia editorial decisions were putting millions of lives at risk... (As for "obscure ultra-elaborated interpretations", the only ultra-elaborated bit back in that argument was where I was trying to salvage ''your'' exception for the other cases. The basic argument ''against'' all these is extremely simple and if you can't see that I really cannot help you. It's very basic logic. ] ] 21:45, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 15:17, 17 April 2009

NikoSilver is currently working his ass off in real life and has decided that it is about time his long RealLifeBreak in favor of WP was interrupted. He will make frequent brief RealLifeBreaks, but you won't see him as much as you may be used to. (Yeah, he knows you're better off!)
NikoSilver would like to thank everybody with an opinion about The Truth on this page, undeterred about those monitoring this page and uniting to prevent its enforcement. Keep sending that valuable feedback please.

Remarks

  1. I will post responses below your comment right here, so "watch" my page (or select to watch whatever you edit in your prefs). Same I will expect from you when I message you. Otherwise, continuity is completely lost.
  2. You can spy if you want... Only morons don't use e-mail when they want to conspire...
  3. My e-mail application actually has a bell thingy. I'll read them faster if you don't message me as well that you sent me one. Actually, it'd be more alarming to send me an e-mail, telling me you've left a message in my talk! :-)
  4. This talk is being automatically archived. All comments that are older than 10 days are removed and placed in the respective archive. In the rare case I don't respond to a comment, please remind me so.
  5. Sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~) that produce your name and the datestamp. The automatic archive doesn't work if it doesn't see a timestamp!

Ugh! Thanks! Correcting! NikoSilver 01:21, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Well well. Thanks for confirming that you guys are watching Greece day and night (and still not voting). Weird things...--Avg (talk) 01:22, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
We don't need to vote, because the rest of the world has the brain capacity that you lack. BalkanFever 01:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Touche. I'd argue that if they did then there would be no need for all this. Problem is most people are dumb and take things literally (i.e. Macedonia=Macedonia=Macedonia)... Which means that the smart ones will not care, which means that we are toast because WP editors are smarter than average. NikoSilver 01:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
But nobody thinks Republic of Macedonia = Region of Macedonia. If anything, people might get the idea that Macedonia = Macedonia... BalkanFever 02:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Everybody without knowledge of the specifics in the region makes this equation because of the same name. Actually even people with knowledge also make it, including the country's Prime Minister. You also didn't put the third element of my equation in your reply and we all know about "unhelpful" (says Nimetz) idiocies like this. For the Greek part of Macedonia, I wouldn't care if it were disambiguated, and I actually do use qualifiers for it myself quite frequently. NikoSilver 15:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
To be honest Niko, you've linked to this picture (and the "Senate Resolution") almost as much as user:Crossthets did. After dealing with a (now indef-blocked) nationalist moron like him, I don't feel like discussing anything about Macedonia with Greeks. It's always the same shit. Good day. BalkanFever 07:57, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
That's ok BF. Have a nice day. I wanted someone else to read this.--Avg (talk) 01:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

hey I found your page randomly

your awesome, and make me feel like i'm at the beach for some odd reason. Hmm... JMS Old Al (talk) 18:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Sea surface temperature is about 13-14 degrees Celsius this time in Greece. That's the coldest throughout the whole year -snow melting and stuff-... So catch some sun, but don't swim! (lol, flattered and thanks. You're awesome too!) NikoSilver 18:26, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
