ANI
Srich is correct in their latest comment at ANI. There seems to be a tendency for you and Steeletrap to drift way off topic. I realise that it might be frustrating whens someone brings up something that happened 2.5 years ago but it is unlikely to affect any outcome now or to attract any administrative action. One reply in rebuttal would probably have sufficed. Similarly, Steeletrap is flogging a dead horse in raising the matter. I'm hoping that Steeletrap sees this because I'm becoming very confused regarding which talk pages I am recently been banned from and so dare not write there! As an aside, I am slightly alarmed that you seem to have been a political activist - you are going to have to be careful how you edit.
I have not intention of getting into a discussion about this note: take it or leave it. I'd also suggest that you don't get sucked into continuing such a discussion here or on, say, Steeltrap's talk page - it will just piss people off. - Sitush (talk) 05:51, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
- I don't expect you to reply and will archive this soon. But for the record: my second reply made the point that I had successfully brought him to ANI before for harassment, which is all he was engaging in, bringing up edits from the 2006-2007 period. Note such behavior at an ANI could lead to sanctions for that editor. Steeletrap is banned here and hopefully will remember without my having to remind him again. Just avoid his talk page and you'll be a happier individual. There are many political activists and advocates on WP; some make it their main activism outlet. I actually haven't been active as far as organizing since 2007 since I got fed up with the sexism in peace groups; barely any libertarian activism except opining on message boards, blogs, etc. for almost 10 years. What matters is, is the editing disruptive and against policy, which I don't think mine is. If you do, take me to a noticeboard. User:Carolmooredc 14:00, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.
Your repeated references to @Steeletrap: with the masculine pronoun constitute a personal attack and are unacceptable on Misplaced Pages. You are well aware from past discussions that Steeletrap is a woman. Moreover, as I believe that she has stated to you her particular sensitivity to being denigrated for her transgender status. I have long been concerned about gender bias within libertarian community and I must also tell you that I and thousands of others within the movement consider any misogynist or anti-transgender slur to be personally offensive. Please strike your references to Steeletrap in the masculine gender and replace with the feminine forms. SPECIFICO talk 15:11, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
