"aggressive editing"
Given that Fred Bauder himself has said that parapsychology is an "obvious pseudoscience," I am honestly confused as to why he would think something like this is "aggressive." And this isn't even touching the fact that my edit was a simple cleanup of what Fred agrees was a WP:POINT violation by Martinphi. Simões (/contribs) 01:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Parapsychology is what I call faith-based science. However it's still a branch of psychology. And frankly behaviorism, which makes such a noise about being scientifically limited to what is observable, has its faith-based elements too, being a sort of monastic discipline sequestered from the messy realities of human experience. Fred Bauder 15:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Outside of our resident parapsychology enthusiasts, you're alone on the subdiscipline issue. All reliable outside sources do not consider it a subdiscipline. And behaviorism has been out of vogue for over forty years. But all this aside, why are you considering what I did aggressive? Simões (/contribs) 17:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

- I'm just a mostly-lurking observer here, but I feel compelled to note that that isn't an answer. I expect more from an Arbitration Committee member. RedSpruce 20:18, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Simply dismissing it as "pseudoscience" is aggressive. Fred Bauder 14:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, that's it. It is not obvious. On its face it looks scientific and parts of it are. Fred Bauder 18:07, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- But you said it was obvious pseudoscience! Are you now deciding to contradict yourself?--ScienceApologist 18:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Parapsychology is not an obvious pseudoscience. Fred Bauder 18:46, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Comments on Dean Radin
Comments about Dean Radin on my Kazuba user page are based on documented sources and facts. My sources are plainly listed. I welcome anyone to examine them for their content. If I have made errors I will gladly delete or correct them. I love to research things well. I have explained that the Radin material exists ONLY on my user page because anything critical about Dean Radin is removed from his entry page with the flimest of excuses. This material is not biographical, Radin broomed from UNLV, (that was Martinphi), or this is insignificant information, Radin and his explanation of the Indian rope trick, (again Mr. Martinphi) or you are trying to smear his reputation. I have also tried to explain I have nothing personal against Mr. Radin. He is what he is. At the the least he is colorful. I've pretty well explained myself on my user page. As I have said I am no master of words. It is interesting if Mr. Radin says he is curious scientist he is praised. But when I say I am a curious grunt that is not okay.

- The problem is that you are focusing intently on another Misplaced Pages user, both on your user page and in your editing of the article. Fred Bauder 14:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Kazuba It would seem only logical the Dean Radin entry on the Misplaced Pages focuses on Dean Radin. Who else would it be about? I am ordered to stay away and not research Radin to the best of my ability and show my results ANYWHERE because Radin is a Wiki user ? Therefore, he is not to be historically investigated like anyone else? He has celebrity immunity? Sounds like book burning to me.Use:Kazuba 08 Jun 07

15) Kazuba (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was cited by Dradin as a troubling editor. Kazuba presents an extensive inventory of his positions on his user page and has made significant critical comments at User talk:Dradin.

5) Kazuba is cautioned to extend good faith to Dradin if he edits and to avoid including disparaging material about Dean Radin on his user page. This remedy is not effective until sufficient notice has been made to Kazuba and affirmed after an opportunity to respond.
This is what we are talking about. Just don't overdo it in the way you have in the past. He's an editor in good standing, not a snake. Fred Bauder 18:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
