Darwinek's response re:Mt7

What else to say? If whitewashing the ethincity of many people is a "content dispute", then calling African Americans "niggers", "porch monkeys" etc. (kind of vandalism I frequently revert) is a content dispute, too. :(

Are you saying that changing the description of a footballer from "professional Hungarian footballer from Slovakia" to "professional slovak footballer" is the equivalent of calling a black person a "porch monkey?" Thatcher131 18:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)



Darwinek's response re: Ross.Hedvicek

But he is a pure vandal with no positive contribution to Misplaced Pages and I see NO problem with insulting vandals. They insult our community with their behaviour. Block was caused by his persistent removal of official Misplaced Pages warning from his talk page.
  1. Do you really believe that Ross, who has been an editor for more than a year and has 500 edits, is a vandal?
  2. Will you clarify that you believe it is OK to insult vandals?
  3. Are you aware that removing warnings from one's own user page is not considered vandalism? (see below)

It is not okay to insult vandals, WP:NPA makes that clear when it says "The prohibition against personal attacks applies equally to all Wikipedians. It is as unacceptable to attack a user with a history of foolish or boorish behavior, or even one who has been subject to disciplinary action by the Arbitration Committee, as it is to attack any other user."
I think that is very clear on the subject. InBC 18:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
