| The treatment that I have received on this website has been unconscionable and appalling. I have been libeled, made an arbitrary target for personal attack by a sysop and sent an unsolicited and completely unprovoked obscene message by a man who actually has the nerve to tell me off for complaining about it. I have quite reached the conclusion that this is a website of cruel, hypocritical, dishonest elitists who deliberately victimize any new user who doesn't stay silent about their relentless abuse. This site is abominably run and is filled with wanton libel and obscenity. On careful consideration, I have decided that Misplaced Pages is simply not worth my time and that you do not deserve to have a user with integrity on your site. As for the unjust "block", it is of no consequence since I will not do my self the dishonor of associating with you at any point in the future. You lost a knowledgeable contributor through your abuse of me and the loss is yours, not mine. To be honest, I feel ashamed for having my name in any way associated with such a wretched excuse for an encyclopedia that would not exist on a properly regulated Internet. As for Zoe, Dmcdevit, Knowledge Seeker , DESpiegel and all other users who have abused me, all I can say is that I consider the sources of the abuse and would personally condemn the above and several others for conduct which, of course, they know they could never engage in if they were in the real, rather than the virtual world. So since right ultimately makes might, I leave this so-called reference tool to destroy itself. It is a blight on the Internet, especially since it claims to be a legitimate encyclopedia, and I will not further dignify its existence with my presence. ] 18:41, 6 September 2005 (UTC) | |||

| I have not read the articles on ], ], ], ], or ]. Therefore I cannot judger their current or past content, ot it's PoV. Note that ], and when "pornographic" content is the most accurate way to describe real events or things, it is and IMO should be part of wikipedia. Obviouisly no article should have a "liberal" or a "conservative" or a "libertarian" PoV, although many do. Note that reporting the views of others, properly sourced and cited, is not the same as adoping their PoV. There have been many people who wanted to censor wikipedia, removing statemnts or quotes that they felt were offensive or overly sexual, or seemed to support a political PoV they disliked.

| :: People generally write about what they're interested in, and quite often this involves writing about which pop star or actress they fancy. Even I'm guilty of that.

In fact it gets ''worse'' for porn actresses, and I've seen things along the lines of "she unfortunately hasn't done any hardcore porn yet, let's hope though that she gets into it!". That is clearly unnacceptable, yet there is a continuum between that and not having the information at all. A line has to be drawn somewhere, and that is why we rely on the ] policy and community ] here.

To Whom It May Concern
The treatment that I have received on this website has been unconscionable and appalling. I have been libeled, made an arbitrary target for personal attack by a sysop and sent an unsolicited and completely unprovoked obscene message by a man who actually has the nerve to tell me off for complaining about it. I have quite reached the conclusion that this is a website of cruel, hypocritical, dishonest elitists who deliberately victimize any new user who doesn't stay silent about their relentless abuse. This site is abominably run and is filled with wanton libel and obscenity. On careful consideration, I have decided that Misplaced Pages is simply not worth my time and that you do not deserve to have a user with integrity on your site. As for the unjust "block", it is of no consequence since I will not do my self the dishonor of associating with you at any point in the future. You lost a knowledgeable contributor through your abuse of me and the loss is yours, not mine. To be honest, I feel ashamed for having my name in any way associated with such a wretched excuse for an encyclopedia that would not exist on a properly regulated Internet. As for Zoe, Dmcdevit, Knowledge Seeker , DESpiegel and all other users who have abused me, all I can say is that I consider the sources of the abuse and would personally condemn the above and several others for conduct which, of course, they know they could never engage in if they were in the real, rather than the virtual world. So since right ultimately makes might, I leave this so-called reference tool to destroy itself. It is a blight on the Internet, especially since it claims to be a legitimate encyclopedia, and I will not further dignify its existence with my presence.

- I'm sorry you had a rough start here, Mr. Bruyns. Misplaced Pages is a complex place, and sometimes it takes people a bit longer to fit in. I hope you will reconsider your decision to leave. As Misplaced Pages's popularity continues to climb, perhaps it will be more difficult to stay away. You will always be welcome to come back, but please remember that you must conduct yourself with civility and courtesy—these are more important than how much a contributor knows.

Proposed deletion of Continental conservatism
The article Continental conservatism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
