Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Single purpose accounts

User:Bob drobbs seems to be editing this article exclusively. Assuming good faith, I nevertheless question whether this account was created for the purposes of advocacy of a specific point of view in violation of Misplaced Pages's fundamental principle of neutrality. Any response to this? User:Pedant (talk) 02:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

The response is that this is the wrong place. Please review WP:TALK. Breein1007 (talk) 02:43, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

* We all have to start somewhere,

* current events tend to draw new editors,

* new editors are expected to make some mistakes as they learn the process,

* this particular one is not actually editing articles as much as participating in talk pages,

* this is not the place to discuss an editor

* and if you do want to discuss him you do it on his talk page instead of posting an unsigned accusation on his USER: page.

I've edited anonymously a bit in the past. But the flotilla attack was a very interesting political event, and the protection on it did inspire me to actually create an account. Pedant, your accusations of me "exclusively" writing about this are false. I have also written a bit about the Ahmadis; another important political event. But most importantly, I believe that every single comment I've made in the discussions (and my few edits) have all been in good faith, with the ideas of truth, fairness, and good writing in mind.

If you have specific issues with any of my statements or edits, please let me know. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 06:32, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

• I collapsed the thread over at Talk:Gaza flotilla raid#Single purpose accounts. Concerns with Bob drobbs' editing belong here or at WP:DR. Bob drobbs, I've offered to act as a go-between if an editor has a concern about another editor which they don't feel comfortable raising themselves. That offer is open to one and all - yourself included. TFOWR 11:36, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Edited under a previous name

Hey Bob,

Out of curiosity, have you previously edited on Misplaced Pages using a different user name? NickCT (talk) 20:24, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

No. Never. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 20:41, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

In an attempt to "seek to be more precise", do you think you might want to revise your previous statement? Bob, I really don't have anything against you. Either now or in past "lives", but I'd appreciate honesty here. NickCT (talk) 21:09, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

You're basically calling me a liar here. I would appreciate if you followed WP:AGF. I was as specific as I can be. No, I have never edited under another user name. Period. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 21:30, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Ok.... Well, I'll "assume" I got this wrong then. Good day to you sir. NickCT (talk) 22:19, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey, regarding your comment here. Look dude, I'm not calling you a liar. All I'm saying is that the editing pattern looks extremely suspisous. If you aren't Breein1007, you'll look at the chronology I provided objectively and agree that it does look pretty suspisious, then you'll forgive my reluctance to take you at your word. If you are Breein1007, you'll probably continue deceptively expressing a sense of righteous indignation. If I did get this wrong and the odd editing pattern is just a coincidence, I'm sure you'll WP:AGF and recognize that I'm not doing this to try and persecute innocent people. Unfortunately it's the case with I-P issue that a lot of people seem to resort to dastardly tricks like WP:SOCKing. NickCT (talk) 19:14, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

You appear to be under a misapprehension

Unless you have been editing under this account then the remark to which you responded on NickCT's talk page did not concern you (even if it had, I'm not sure what bearing my past mistakes would have re. your current, alleged, misbehaviour).

My mistake then. I thought you were talking about me. NickCT is hassling me, calling me a sock puppet, and implying that I'm a liar (see above). Since your comment is about someone else, apparently he's doing the same thing to someone else; rightfully or not. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 14:15, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Amin Abu Rashid - BLP discussion?

In one of your edits on this page you referred to a discussion on the BLP noticeboard. I'm curious what the result of that discussion was, but I couldn't find it. I found the noticeboard, but I found no discussion for Amin Rashid.

Can you please tell me where to find it?

-- Bob drobbs (talk) 06:49, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Bob. I am a little unsure which edit it was on this page but the only BLP discussion that involved his was a small one here Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive122#Freedom_Flotilla_II - for more than this I will need a diff to the discussion, regards. Off2riorob (talk) 10:11, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm... that's probably it, but sadly it looks like there wasn't really any consensus in there. Oh well.

FYI, here's a link to your -- Bob drobbs (talk) 15:37, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case

Please do not replace without consensus a claim that the living subject has found libelous and insulting, thanks - Off2riorob (talk) 19:06, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

And, I'll ask you to stop engaging in POV censorship. But we'll continue this on the noticeboard where it belongs. It seems that you're in a minority who seeks to keep this lawsuit on the page, while censoring the details of it. The majority supports either including the details of the libel case _or_ deleting it entirely. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 19:12, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
