RfC
Howdy, I wanted to let you know I removed the comment you made from the RfC page. Generally, the debate should remain on the talk page of the article. I'll see if I can take a look at the talk page, but haven't yet. Thanks, --TeaDrinker 00:01, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Blocked
I have temporarily blocked you from editing for disruptive personal attacks and incivility. When your block is up, comment on content, not on the contributor. Tom Harrison 15:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
I asked you earlier to comment on content, not contributors. When working on political articles, incivility becomes disruptive very quickly. Tom Harrison 13:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Removing Warnings
This is your last warning. If you continue to make personal attacks, you may be blocked for disruption. Paul Cyr 07:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Please do not remove legitimate warnings from your talk page or replace them with inappropriate content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted legitimate comments. If you continue to remove or vandalize legitimate warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. Paul Cyr 08:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
You have been blocked for a week
You have been blocked for a week for attacks referenced here. User:Gerdbrendel/Brendel stays within the bounds of civility. I would try to follow his example more. Good rule of thumb here is to attack the issue, not the person. If you continue to attack him or anyone else, you will not be here much longer. Take this week off and try to relax. --Woohookitty 01:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not sure you quite understand what Misplaced Pages is and why we're here. Original research is not allowed nor are the constant personal attacks that you make. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. And it does apply here. But Misplaced Pages is a private organization. We have the right to remove things that only exist to attack other people. If we had no rules, then we'd have utter chaos and the entire point of the encyclopedia will have been lost. If you don't believe in those rules and don't want to follow them, that's your choice. But it's also our prerogative to not allow you to post here if you do not follow those rules. It is not "mob rule". Nor are we all "white liberals". Far from it. We have a good amount of conservatives (such as User:Jdavidb) who post here with no problem. It's a matter of accepting why Misplaced Pages is here and also trying to follow our rules. If you don't believe in them and you refuse to follow them, then you shouldn't be here. Period. Misplaced Pages is NOT a message board. Nor is it a place where flaming is allowed. You need to accept that or else you shouldn't be here. --Woohookitty 17:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
