| == Topic Ban Appeal == | |||
| I wanted to explain that I try to avoid chiming in with everyone else. If there are twelve supports and I support I won't comment. When I do comment, I like to make people think, rather than just going with the current. And you also need to look at context. On the Bob Hoskins nomination, one the opposes had been on the basis that he was being posted, while more worthy nominations were being kept off. I could have gotten in an argument with that editor. I thought pointing out the absurdity in another way would be less confrontational and more effective, at least for those not on autopilot. Same thing with the Tornado Outbreak nom. As usual, we got a bunch of "the usual suspects" complaining about American bias and how this happens all the time. Rather than saying, "You, MistookEditor" are mistaken", I thought a little irony would lighten the situation. | |||
| Hi GoldenRing. I've to appeal a topic ban you made against me a long while ago. You haven't been super active lately, so may not read this in time - sorry if that's the case. I shoulda appealed this earlier. ] (]) 05:33, 14 June 2024 (UTC) | |||

| == Not a rational argument == | |||
| A personal attack is something that is personal. It has to target "somebody" specific, and it has to target their identity. Nothing I've said is remotely a personal attack. On Misplaced Pages we are free to critique contributions rather than contributors. Arguments could be "not rational" because they are based on wrong facts, they are conclusory or they involve logical fallacies. There's no reason to mince words when explaining why an argument is defective. For instance "This is not ITN/R" is not a rational argument, because we don't require ITN items to be listed on ITNR. "This is something of only lilliputian interest, and a purely parochial matter" is conclusory and contradicts the obvious fact that the election is making headlines around the world. "POTUS may not be the only office that matters, but we generally only post the result of an election that determines who occupies the highest seat in the government" is a reasonable oppose. We can look at more, but I think three examples suffice for the moment. At the time I posted there were 12 supports and 7 opposes, so even if you want to accord full weight to all the votes, when in fact about half of them were irrational, it's still within admin discretion to post the item. ] <sup>]</sup> 13:54, 5 November 2014 (UTC) | |||

And in that spirit, you truly are an outstanding contributor. Keep up the great work! :) |

Topic Ban Appeal
Hi GoldenRing. I've made a section on ANI to appeal a topic ban you made against me a long while ago. You haven't been super active lately, so may not read this in time - sorry if that's the case. I shoulda appealed this earlier. PeterTheFourth (talk) 05:33, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
