Calton
Don't give up just yet. There is two seperate conversations going on about Calton...one, a RfC here and another an arbitration here. Why not add your current situation with Calton to one or both of those. The more people who let their voices be heard the better the chance that Calton might get his tune changed. - SVRTVDude 17:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, a soul mate for you, Gordon, someone as equally clueless about Misplaced Pages policy.
- And speaking of not knowing Misplaced Pages policy -- or simple directions, as seen at the top of Misplaced Pages talk:Village pump:
- This page is for discussion about the village pump only. You may want one of the village pump subpages below, or one of the links on the village pump main page. Irrelevant discussions will be moved or removed.

- The second one is an arbitration between him and DeanHinnen on "Free Republic". Not sure what it is about. - SVRTVDude 18:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, Gordon. I'd like to support you because I always find it painful to see a situation where everyone seems to be against one person. But I've looked at your links, and I do think you have a conflict of interest and that they don't fit in with all the WP:VER, WP:EL, WP:RS policies or guidelines that I have been reading. Also, I think it's a really bad idea to call someone else's edit "vandalism" in a content dispute. Vandalism is when someone changes the image of Pope Benedict to Michael Jackson, inserts dirty words into articles, blanks large sections, or deliberately inserts false information (like Adolf Hitler was born in 1482). It's not vandalism when someone removes a link on the grounds that it's not reliable, regardless of how long that link has been there. Please give up this fight, because I have a feeling it will get very painful for you if you don't. ElinorD 18:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
