Harassment

I happened to see the thread...by chance, because I usually avoid that cesspool. I should have said this at the time, but better late than never - that harassment was reprehensible. I'm sorry it happened, I'm sorry that your association with Misplaced Pages brought you to the attention of that crowd, and I hate the fact that Misplaced Pages does nothing to protect editors against harassment if people have the sense to move it off-wiki.

Greg can't edit his talk page because he was blocked and his talk page and email access was cut off. He asked me to tell you that he appreciates your message a great deal and although there were times you were on differing sides of the issues he has always found you to be articulate and fair. He wishes you the best on Wiki and elsewhere. (By the way, I have retired from Wiki and don't intend to continue editing, but I made this post at Greg's request. I expect I will now too be blocked for delivering this thank you note.). Best, Minor4th 01:59, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

This whole thing is very mysterious. I've seen references to it in various places and have no idea what it is about. Reading between the lines, it seems as if GJP made a "legal threat" (whatever that means) in an email. I don't see anything on-wiki so that might be what happened. If so, he should be permitted the opportunity to withdraw that alleged threat and continue to edit Misplaced Pages. He has been more harshly dealt with than any other editor in the CC case, and there is no evident reason for that. I surmise he may have been acting emotionally in reaction to the "harassment" (which, again, I have no idea what that means). An indefinite ban seems harsh, and removing his ability to email makes it impossible for him to rectify the situation if he so wished. ScottyBerg (talk) 14:46, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I just wanted to belatedly strike out most of my post above. While I'm sympathetic to GJP, I just don't know the facts. Let it go by saying that it's mysterious. ScottyBerg (talk) 17:09, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:Va601cc

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User talk:Va601cc, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Soundvisions1 (talk) 04:24, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
