Topic bans including one's own talk page
This is a minor comment regarding the decision about Good Day. I have only read enough to develop an opinion about this one practice and it only incidentally relates to Good Day. I understand that Good Day was banned from discussing diacritics anywhere on English Misplaced Pages. (I also recognize that you, Slp1, did not initiate such a comprehensive ban.) I am opposed to an editor being banned from commenting on his own talk page. From my view, one's talk page is one's bully pulpit. If one is blocked from all of Misplaced Pages, that should be all inclusive. But, what is the harm in allowing an editor to disagree with the whole world on a topic if he, or she, chooses to do so? I am just venting here. Once the topic ban has been announced as the deciding person you have little choice. But, there should be a policy about freedom to speak one's mind on one's own talk page.

- Sorry for the slow response to this. I was on holiday in non-Internet land for the most part. I think you are in part correct that an editor can, in certain situations, be given extra leeway on his/her own talkpage, but I do not believe that it is at all helpful in the case of editors who are topic banned. The point is to get them to leave the topic behind for a period, not only for the sake of the encyclopedia and other involved editors, but for their own sake too. If an editor can make comments and suggestions on their talkpage then that isn't really leaving the topic behind, is it? BTW, GoodDay asked the same question here and from the answers it seems that others agree with me. --Slp1 (talk) 22:44, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
mensrights
I'm hoping a rename will allow the article to finally be a decent article, and in anticipation of the RfC hopefully going through I've ordered a lot of relevant books (either through amazon for cheap ones or just ILLs.) I've picked up most of the books currently cited in the article (partly just because I want to verify the citations currently in there,) and some others besides, but was wondering - do you have any suggestions on books not currently cited that would be worth including?

- Hi. Sorry for the delay in responding. It sounds great that you are getting books etc; should be useful for the future. I mostly found sources using googlebooks and googlescholar searches for "men's rights", and then checking their reference lists. I think most of the main ones I found are already listed, but likely there are others. One has to be a bit careful though because of the self-published and Misplaced Pages off prints listed there. But I am sure you know that!! I think it is probably best to wait till the RFC finishes, but maybe I will get up the energy to try to help again when the time comes. --Slp1 (talk) 23:47, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Troubles AE
Hi there. I was impressed (from my position as March the guilty bastard in, Sergeant-Major defendant) with your comments on the 1RR complaint brought against me by User:One_Night_In_Hackney. He has now raised yet another Troubles-related 1RR, albeit on an article about islamist terrorism in London, and I think that with your existing knowledge of the situation you would be a valuable contributor to this case. Thanks. --FergusM1970 04:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
