Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:05, 23 February 2006

• Is his arm strength best described as "adequate"? While he's not Brett Favre, it's better than adequate; Marc Bulger's arm is adequate, or Jon Kitna, or Chad Pennington. While there's a distinction to be made at the NFL level between "adequate" arms and the truly pop-gun variety (Jay Fiedler, Cade McNown when he played, etc.), I think Leinart stands out above Bulger, Kitna, Pennington, Warner, or maybe even Brady in terms of zip on throws, meaning he's "solid" or "above-average" in that department, not merely "adequate". -- Davis21Wylie September 10, 2005

I have to agree, although I think Jon Kitna does have an above-average arm. The likenesses between Leinart and Brady are uncanny, and Brady's got a solid arm, so I second the motion to have the adjective changed.Treima 17:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Leinart did announce in Jan. 2005 that he was gay. This should not be deleted anymore and nobody should have a problem with him being gay. I do not understand the rampant homophobia on this topic. 65.103.208.149 December 29, 2005

Leinart never announced he was gay. It's not "rampant homophobia" to revert statements that are not true. Dude's dating a supermodel, plus YayCollege! even has a "Matt Leinart Bang-O-Meter" chronicling the number of starlets Matt has bagged this season! - Davis21Wylie (t) 14:50, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Matt Leinart is not gay. It's incredibly stupid that we even have to have this discussion.--Alhutch 18:11, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• To the anonymous user who removed the comments above:

1. It's contrary to Misplaced Pages practice to revert or remove content from talk pages except for cases of blatant vandalism. Discussion is discussion, even if it's banal.
2. They're not "useless comments" if the discussion, such as it is, keeps the same baseless assertion from being posted to the article again.

I put a temporary block on the editor who kept adding the gay comment. His "sources" were laughable. From available evidence, as if it really mattered, the subject of the article is gay only in the fantasies of that editor. Now let's drop the subject. — Kbh3talk 06:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Boy, don't I feel stupid. I actually believed he was gay just from reading it here. Just goes to show that sometimes you gotta check those sources...66.80.212.78 23:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Just because he is dating a girl doesn't mean he's straight. Ever heard of Elton John and George Michael, genius?

abuse of power

An administrator (Alhutch) semi-protected this page as an abuse of power because he dislikes legitimate edits. Please un-protect this page immediately.

you have yet to cite your sources. Go ahead.--Alhutch 02:06, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, Alhutch, for protecting this page... I was going to suggest it myself. This "Matt Leinart is gay" thing is becoming quite tiresome. "Sources"? Ha! - Davis21Wylie 03:17, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

thanks for the support. the "matt leinart is gay" edits have come from several very persistent IPs. I'm not sure what's behind the whole thing.--Alhutch 05:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's ludicrous that this has gone on for as long as it has, thank you for the protection. IanMcGreene 20:19, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

unblock this page please

There are legitimate people that want to edit the article. Your petty squabbling over something so idiotic as this is ruining people's experience on Misplaced Pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.12.114 (talk • contribs)

good point. on my way.--Alhutch 05:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Holy smokes!!! You're one of the IPs who kept putting in the "Matt Leinart is gay" thing. I previously blocked you for that reason! I can't believe I got tricked so easily. I'm reprotecting the page, and checking the contribs page next time an IP asks me to unprotect a page.--Alhutch 06:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't be so petty Alhutch, there are multiple people using the same IPs. Legitimate people want to edit this page. You are being petty because you disagree with arguably true edits. You are abusing what protected status was supposed to be for.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooldc19 (talk • contribs)

As I've repeatedly said, I'm more than willing to post sources for my edits. Alhutch is just being the prototypical power-hungry rude admin. I haven't posted sources because of Alhutch's abuse toward me and lack of respect for me as a human being and fellow Wikipedian.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.12.114 (talk • contribs)

that's all well and good, but since you have the ability to edit this talk page, why don't you post the sources right here, right now? Please go ahead, I am watching the page.--Alhutch 06:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

You don't have any sources. Stop wasting my time.--Alhutch 07:26, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

See another example of your abusiveness. I will provide sources in due time. It takes a while to compile everything you buffoon.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.12.114 (talk • contribs)

By the way, as you said when you were applying to be an admin: "if I have been rude to another user, I always make sure to apologize." You owe me and every other wikipedian on this page an apology for being so rude.

and you calling me a buffoon wasn't rude?--Alhutch 16:16, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I, on the other hand, have no such qualms about being rude to other (anonymous) users. You, IP 141.161.12.114 (and all the other IP's who have vandalized this page in the past few months), are disingenuous, arrogant, and infantile, and you are not a "fellow Wikipedian" in anyone's mind... you are a vandal. You will not "provide sources in due time," because you have no sources. Alhutch owes no one an apology; you, as you so eloquently put it, are the one who "owes me and every other wikipedian on this page an apology". This nonsense has persisted for months, and it needs to stop. Now. (Davis21Wylie now sits back and waits for massive amounts of vandalization on his user page...) - Davis21Wylie 15:55, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Too many a-nones are like al-Qaeda setting off car bombs, except unfortunately they don't die. Maybe that's a little extreme. Actually, they are more like crabgrass on your front lawn. Wahkeenah 18:19, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Wow what a bunch of ruffians admins seem to be. Comparing IPs to al-qaeda is really incredibly rude, not to mention stupid, and unbecoming of a true Wikipedian. I'll be sure to report you to the proper authorities for punishment. You my friend, are a rude rude person, and a sorry excuse for an admin. And to Alhutch, I am sorry I called you a buffoon but that doesn't change the fact that you were rude first and have continued to be rude. You should apologize just as you promised when you were running for adminship.

You all are missing the point

Everyone in California is gay, don't y'all know that??? Arnold, for example, is just over-compensating. >:) Wahkeenah 11:43, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
