While I appreciate your efforts to keep the pages on Misplaced Pages clean, the edits I made on the "Spelling" article clearly were constructive. It stated that "Hercules" is a common misspelling of the "correct" "Heracles." This is factually incorrect.

== Suspicious sock puppet involving Caden ==

Hey just to let you know, the way you approached the Checkuser with Caden was really unfair. It's not so much the fact that you felt a checkuser was necessary, it was your uncivil and fighting tone that has upset me and some other people. Words like this (when Caden had clearly made a mistake and was not trying to be malicious) were uncalled for: "Your rants sound just like an IP user who I got banned, who also referred to me as a she." Instead of ranting and raving, you could have simply said something to the effect of: "I think this checkuser is necessary. Here is the evidence." It is entirely reasonable that Caden was upset by this. Wouldn't you be upset if someone falsely accused you of being a sockpupetteer? You owe this Wikipedian a major apology - not for proposing a checkuser, but for your nastiness. You should have been a lot more understanding of his anger and frustration, especially once he was proven innocent. By the way, HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I was merely commenting on the reason itself. Many people come to wikipedia and don't write articles. Especially today, when most of the notable subjects are already written about.

Thanks for the link to the personal attacks information. I suggest you respond in a less headstrong, confrontational manner in the future.

== Personal attack ==

"I see certain editors who never attempt to add anything positive or even neutral to the article. The only things they even attempt to add is negative information. They never try to find sources for neutral stuff or add anything that would put him in a positive light, only negative items. They try to minimize anything positive. You will find those same editors doing the same thing in other articles about people on the same end of the political spectrum as Hannity. It goes beyond coincidence." This poster marginalizes every individual who posts information about Sean Hannity that isn't favorable. I see this is a broad attack against many editors, who he arbitrarily labeled as "Hannity haters". Allowing lies and hypocrisy like this to go unchallenged is not in good faith. So I labeled this individual a "liar" and a "hypocrite" which I still feel are accurate labels, and I still believe posts like his are a greater threat to the sanctity of Misplaced Pages than mine ever were.

"New members are prospective contributors and are therefore Misplaced Pages's most valuable resource. We must treat newcomers with kindness and patience — nothing scares potentially valuable contributors away faster than hostility. It is difficult for a newcomer to be completely familiar with all of the policies, guidelines, and community standards of Misplaced Pages before they start editing. Even the most experienced editors may need a gentle reminder from time to time." <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 11:48, 21 May 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== I am so sorry ==

I am so sorry that ] treated you so poorly, using both insults and thinly veiled threats to discourage your point of view. I am disturbed by the lack of response to your complaint, and I am disgusted in the way you were treated for making that complaint. I truly wish that Misplaced Pages administrators as a whole comported themselves with more respect and dignity. It whole matter really cheapens the idea that administrators should be impartial enforcers of consensus based policy. I truly think Misplaced Pages would be better off without those administrators who find themselves above policy.

Unfortunately there is an atmosphere of tolerance towards this sort of thing so there is absolutely nothing I can do that would not simply be reversed. I am sorry. ] 00:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
