| ::That sounds far too much like my children's "well he did it first". Seriously though, accusing Eric of being abusive is one thing, but if you're going to accuse someone of misogyny, you really, really, need to be backing that up with hard diffs and evidence. Judging by the number of female editors that Eric works quite happily with on his articles and talkpage, I think your claim is ... unlikely. ] 21:13, 14 October 2014 (UTC) | ::That sounds far too much like my children's "well he did it first".

Interlacing comment
Just a word of warning. When we exchanged comments on the talk page of Plagiarism, on one occasion you placed your comments indented within mine. I come from a background of using internet news groups way back when, and that is the usual way such comments are constructed. A lot of editors on Misplaced Pages have never used news groups and dislike people inserting comments within theirs, so if you do it the muppets may jump up and down and insist that you comments are placed under theirs. -- PBS (talk) 21:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. I appreciate the advice. I didn't realize I had done that, so feel free to correct me if I do it again. Rationalobserver (talk) 21:41, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Garbage RfC
@Rationalobserver: Hi, I would appreciate your input on this disputed matter. --Lpdte77 (talk) 06:53, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the invite, but I find genre disputes to be among the project's biggest time sinks, and I'd rather not expend any energy on them. Rationalobserver (talk) 17:37, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- No problem, and I completely agree. --Lpdte77 (talk) 22:51, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Closing conversions on talk pages
Please read the guidance for closing RfCs WP:RFC#Ending RfCs and more specifically the information at the top of the close templates such as {{archive top}} which says:
- "When used on a talk page this template should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at"
Unlike WP:ANI, it is not usual to close discussions on article talk pages. Usually unless, there is a good reason to do so (such as the section is part of a process such as WP:RM or and RfC, or were set up as an informal poll (in which case {{poll top}} is used)); sections are left open for others to comment if they wish to. This is completely consistent with Good practices for all talk pages used for collaboration which starts "Before starting a new discussion ensure there is not already an existing section on the same topic."
-- PBS (talk) 07:08, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, PBS. I appreciate the advice on protocol, as there are so many things to learn! I hope I haven't messed anything up! Rationalobserver (talk) 15:52, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
October 2014
Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on WP:ANI. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. A civil discussion about our civility policy does not need a posting full of personal attacks ("misogynist"), especially when they are not backed up with any evidence. Please don't do that again. Black Kite (talk) 20:58, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- Well, that's awfully nice of you to protect Eric from incivility, as we all know how unerringly polite he is to others, but what about Jimbo? I see this comment: "Jimbo is unfit to to be the public face of Wikikipedia", as a personal attack. Don't you? Rationalobserver (talk) 21:09, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- That sounds far too much like my children's "well he did it first". Seriously though, accusing Eric of being abusive is one thing, but if you're going to accuse someone of misogyny, you really, really, need to be backing that up with hard diffs and evidence. Judging by the number of female editors that Eric works quite happily with on his articles and talkpage, I think your claim is ... unlikely. Black Kite (talk) 21:13, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- That sounds like a double standard though, as Eric's comment toward Jimbo is certainly a personal attack. Nonetheless, I'll be more careful about the m-word, as maybe I've misjudged him. Rationalobserver (talk) 21:15, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- I think that it was wise to strike that comment for the sake of calming down a big drama, but the diffs are not hard to find.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 21:19, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
