==A Note (read it would ya)==
Of the almost 1 month I have "known" you online, I and many other Wiki members have tried our best to get along with you. We have tried our best to provide you with information stating our side of a subject, only to have it thrown back in our faces and our intelligence insulted. We have done nothing to bring this one, except, as far as I can tell, give an opinion that differs from yours. You assert your opinion in place of others and call it a consensus or truth without backing it up with reference or source and be damned those other that try to voice an opinion different or tell you otherwise. Three seperate discussions are open about you, once started in part by me and this doesn't stop you. You don't change the way you act, it actually just makes your worse. You continue with you rude and incivil comments to incite a response out of anyone to keep any arguement or disagreement going. It is like you feed off it. Even after the person walks away in disgust (or leaves Wiki altogether) you continue to insult them on any page possible into a response and keep whatever arguement going as long as possible.

I have had my run-ins with you. I have had my run-ins with other editors. Metros232, who him and I never got along, actually had a calm conversation today. AMIB and I talk on a regular basis without "screaming" at each other. But you and I or you and anyone else can not get along. Even when it is someone on your side, you snip at them trying to cause another arguement...and for what? What do you plan on gaining from essentially driving people and some very good editors away because they have an opinion that differs from yours or they don't known all the rules like you do. Hell, until last week, I didn't know what an interwiki was. Someone told me, I learned. There are noobies here, ya gotta teach 'em. I am not saying sit down and go over each rule on an index card and give 'em a lolly afterwards, just when a noobie messes up, help 'em out. I have to do it myself and I am gald to do it. You would just insult the poor person, throw a rule at them, and insult them some more....and again for what? What are you trying to gain?

Even the line on your front page; "It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that.", is rude. Dude, if you plan on getting anywhere and doing anything here on Wiki besides arguing with people, you are going to have to just accept that people are going to have opinions that differ from yours, that you have to be nice to get things done, that there will always be a noobie who messes something up because they think they are helping and you have to give them a hand and that if you don't change your act soon, you are going to get in a crapload of deep water.

Now, I know you probably won't even read this, as it doesn't interest you and it takes time away from your "clean-up duty", but take a couple minutes and actually read it....think about it. - ] <sup>(] - ])</sup> 06:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that.

Some ground rules before you leave a message

  1. I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
  2. This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
  3. If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Misplaced Pages guidelines or rules, note that Misplaced Pages is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
  4. There is no Rule 4.
  5. Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
  6. Don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. Do I look like Montel Williams? Do I? NO? Then don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams.
  7. Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
  8. Please post at the bottom of the page and "sign" your posts using the squiggly things (--~~~~).
  9. Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a No Smoking page.
Thank you. -- The Management.

WRAJ

MASSIVE update on the page. More information than you could want, so I think that will make everyone happy and there will be no need for the AfD tag, which I have taken down as I can't find a corresponding page to go with it. If any further updates are needed to the page, please let me know. - SVRTVDude 08:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I would like to know why, after the massive update, that the WRAJ page was still deleted? - SVRTVDude 11:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
It was deleted at the AFD, see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/WRAJ Internet Radio. If you object to this, you can start a deletion review about it. Metros232 11:47, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Orangemonster

There was probably something truthful in the above statement, somewhere, but I'm not bothering to go look for it since it's objectively false in every sense. It's a repost, nuked speedily after an AFD, which Orangemonster2k1 can't be ignorant of because he cast the only "Keep" !vote. Nice doesn't work with me, being honest does. --Calton | Talk 07:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Calton,
It wouldn't kill you to be nice and honest, you know. :) You're far to valuable to this encyclopedia to lose, but, come on, he's just a newbie who has obviously rubbed you the wrong way. I've advised him not to remove AFD tags, and hopefully that will be the last of it. Firsfron of Ronchester 08:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

In this reply to your buddy, Proto, I asked him how my link was any different thant the others, and indeed I make good arguments that will stand under the light of day.

If you could consider this... --GordonWatts 00:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

A Note (read it would ya)

Of the almost 1 month I have "known" you online, I and many other Wiki members have tried our best to get along with you. We have tried our best to provide you with information stating our side of a subject, only to have it thrown back in our faces and our intelligence insulted. We have done nothing to bring this one, except, as far as I can tell, give an opinion that differs from yours. You assert your opinion in place of others and call it a consensus or truth without backing it up with reference or source and be damned those other that try to voice an opinion different or tell you otherwise.
