Welcome to Jehochman's Talk Page Please feel free to put your feet on the coffee table, and speak candidly. Or for more better relaxation, stretch yourself luxuriously on the chaise longue in Bishzilla's Victorian parlour and mumble incoherently.

This page needs more maintenance tags. March 2005. Please don't slap orange-box maintenance tags on articles unless you follow Misplaced Pages:Responsible tagging. Make sure to leave a talk page message explaining, with specifics, what you think is wrong and why you cannot fix it yourself. Also, consider tagging specific sentences or sections rather than whole articles when such action would be appropriate. Thank you!

Arbitration case opened

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Lightbreather. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Lightbreather/Evidence. Please add your evidence by May 17, 2015, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Lightbreather/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 00:49, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

My apologies...

...for agreeing with you on AN regarding tagging, because it most probably exposed you to the trouting you received from The Rambling Man, who is still smarting from my referring to him on AN as "one of the worst admins on Misplaced Pages", and not a single admin came to his defense. He's rather on a campaign against me now, egging on other editors to file AN/I reports against me, and generally acting in exactly the manner that caused me to question his for suitability for adminship. At this point, if I was to post a comment in favor of WP:V, TRM would find a way to disagree with it. In this current case, you certainly didn't deserve a trout (as another editor noted), and I'm sorry that my action may have resulted in one. BMK (talk) 04:29, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) No worries, little Jehochman surely like fish. BMK, image of cute little Super Arb much appreciated! bishzilla _ROARR!! 10:24, 4 May 2015 (UTC).

Thanks! BMK (talk) 01:34, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Of course BMK wants to make this all about him, which it is most certainly not. Had he posted in that discussion? I hadn't even noticed! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:33, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

I love your boat race articles, but it's really unnecessary for you to follow BMK here to add your two cents. I was planning not to get involved in this little feud, and suggest you do the same: don't be involved in a feud. Jehochman 13:51, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I just don't appreciate BMK using various venues to actually lie about my behaviour. And good to see I should add you to the list of the BMK apologists, allowing him to continue to swear at and bully new users. Well done you. It's far from a "little feud", it's about BMK's ongoing abhorrent behaviour, with the "what the fuck"s and "asshole"s all over the place. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:46, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Never wrestle with a pig. You'll get dirty and the pig will enjoy it. If you think he's a pig, or worse, why engage in this mud wrestling? Jehochman 13:26, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

I do like fishes, my precious. Jehochman 13:52, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

You should be receiving in the mail soon your Beyond My Ken Apologists Club starter pack, with lots of fun games for you and your friends to enjoy, plus an ultra-secret decoder ring to send ultra-secret messages to each other. Plenty of fun for the whole family! BMK (talk) 01:38, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much. The above comment to TRM is purely theoretical. Please don't take it personally. Jehochman 13:26, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

A theoretical pig... would that be Schroedinger's swine? BMK (talk) 18:01, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Chiropractic

You mentioned chiropractic here. Please see Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive843#Proposed_topic_ban_of_Neuraxis. Things are not looking good at acupuncture. QuackGuru (talk) 21:57, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Lightbreather arbitration case: special arangements

Because of the unusual number of participants with interaction bans in the Lightbreather arbitration case, the consensus of the Arbitration Committee is that:

1. All i-bans and associated restrictions are suspended for participation on the /Evidence page. This suspension extends solely and exclusively to the /Evidence page but some tolerance will be given on the /Evidence talk page to link to material on the /Evidence page.

2. For simplicity, and for the purposes of this case only, one-way i-bans are regarded as two-way i-bans.

3. Threaded interactions of any description between participants are prohibited on both the /Evidence and the /Evidence talk pages.

4. Similar arrangements apply to /Workshop page and the /Workshop talk page.

The original announcement can be found here. For the Arbitration Committee, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:44, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected talk page

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

I paged you at Talk:Inspire (magazine) a few days ago - I think semi-protecting talk pages is generally a bad idea, especially this one. I wanted to give you one more chance to comment before I try WP:UNPROTECT. Wnt (talk) 19:31, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

This page doesn't qualify as "generally" in any way. It is an unusual situation. You can try whatever you like, but if IP hopping socks try to use the page for non-encyclopedic purposes, I will exclude them. Jehochman 02:58, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Actually, I can't think of much more encyclopedic than citing your sources. I don't see the rationale for excluding IP editors. Wnt (talk) 12:49, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

The IP editors in question are trying to use Misplaced Pages to publicize their material, and linking to unreliable and unverified sources. Jehochman 12:51, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
