Detractors are many...which demonstrates effectiveness

I have many detractors. The articles that used to be on Misplaced Pages were constantly being vandalised by those who fear my effectiveness in my message. Those cowards have begun to do so to this page as well.

This will become a running list of the information found about them:

  • 24.131.160.16 was done through an IP mask...the actual IP address is 68.87.174.65 through Comcast in Maple Grove.
  • 66.173.127.11 this one belongs to SOUTH WASHINGTON COUNTY BULLETIN, 7584 80 ST S, COTTAGE GROVE, MN 55016 (NetRange: 66.173.127.8 - 66.173.127.15), RTechPhone: +1-651-730-4007.

Re. Request

Do you mean you want the revisions after 08:27, October 17, 2006 to be deleted? --Alex (Talk) 16:00, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Tony 16:01, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. Remember to use UTC time, as I got a little confused where to delete up to :) Thanks. --Alex (Talk) 16:06, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank You for you quick response. --Tony 16:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Race to the Right information deserves its own page

Perhaps by mistake, you have created a page for Race to the Right on your User page. Please move this information to a page of its own, so that it can be properly categorized under . As it is, it is difficult to find or link to. Thanks for your contribution. Mapcat 05:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I did previously have a page for it already. It was deleted (not notable). Just before it was deleted I moved the text to my user page. -- Tony 21:07, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Being an admin is no big deal

Hi Tony! You and Zeeboid keep mentioning admins in the global warming debate, e.g. here: . I hope you are aware of the fact that being an admin is no big deal, and that admins have no special rights or priviledges in a content dispute. In particular, thy are bound by rules like WP:3RR, and they are not allowed to use the admin tools e.g. to block an opposing user.--Stephan Schulz 09:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot, you know everything and we know nothing about Misplaced Pages. Forgive me for my error, my liege. Now what I do know about the administrators on Misplaced Pages (that obviously is 100% wrong because it contradicts you) is that your buddy has a history of using his extra admin powers in the middle of disputes about his own edits. Anywhere else in the world and that would be considered a conflict of interest. But of course, not by you and the rest of your circle of wagons. There are so many things that should be an issue, and yet anytime someone tries to call attention to it since he was voted (by almost most of the people helping to circumvent the 3RR rules) they have been the one punished. I have seen it with other admins as well. A few get abusive with their power but unless it is really really bad or really really really really obvious (as the last few months of abuse seem to be) admins have some circle of protection. It is worse than the police Blue Code.
But, since you said "no big deal" and point to a link then of course, there is not any disagreement and everyone else is wrong. Nevermind that what you are pointing me to is the admin's typical response to downplay their position.
Follow rules, sure, but when an Admin gets other people to do their bidding then they have not broken the rule directly. They get help circumventing the rules when inconvenient to their purposes. And that is what has been happening to a growing degree with Connelley and his Crowd.
What is it that is no big deal? An obvious latitude in 'bending' decorum, extra 'benefit of the doubt' when their abuse is called to task...no big deal and difficult to overcome. Even with the dozens of pages of examples and documentation I know it will not be enough to get any relief from the abusive nature that is being carried out.
Why mention admins? They have the power to block/unblock people...and the manner it is carried out in pages that Connelley happens to be participating in is enough to push people away. I have only one more edit that I will make to that page unless all of you are eventually banned from the page (you, Connelley, Kim). But, protection requires a gargantuous amount of solid evidence to have a hope. I have a hope by quality and quantity of evidence. But only hope.
What eles is no big deal? The power to edit protected pages (downplay that if you want, but I run 3 wiki sites and know how much that actually means).
Of course, as you guys have pointed out, you are always right and everyone else is always wrong. We are not smart enough to read and understand things.
Why don't you talk down to me and insult the little intelligence I have some more. Better yet, why don't you defend yourself this Sunday on the show as I mention you guys by ID and your abuse. -- Tony of Race to the Right 17:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
