Take the Pledge

My pledge. With important elections coming up, and politicians on both sides sinking to new levels of sleaze and smear tactics - I - Fairness And Accuracy For All - will rise above the muck and mire! I pledge to not enter any negative info, or any info which could even REMOTELY be considered negative into the articles or even the talk pages of ANY candidate running for political office on Nov 7! Anyone who would like to can join me and take the pledge!

The Irony

The irony considering whats above, but I have good faith in your intentions:

• Answers.Com
• DemocraticUnderground

Not sure if they are recent, but both use their content from Misplaced Pages, just in case admins at AN/I do not oblige you, those are at least images of the article at one point to work off of. --NuclearZer0 23:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I didn't think of checking there. Fairness And Accuracy For All 23:38, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

SB Courthouse

Greetings! Yes, I do actually have quite a few photos I can upload if you like. It also shouldn't be too hard to get a cite for that "most beautiful public building in the United States" quote; I've seen it in the LA Times, and Walker Tomkins, local Santa Barbara historian has it in at least one of his books. Happy editing, Antandrus (talk) 05:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Here you go: Image:SB_Courthouse1.jpg. It's not the best of the bunch, but it was ready for upload. There's some others that need some minor photoshopping, and I can also snap some more any time; I'm only a couple minutes away from there. Let me know. By the way I may also have some shots of Hollister Ranch from Gaviota Park and Gaviota Peak (since I saw from my watchlist that you are interested in that area too). Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 05:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Wonderful pic! Thanks! That's one of the exact angles I was hoping for. The Hollister Ranch article needs a total re-write. I think that most of it is copied directly from their page. IMHO, its notable mostly for their private ownership of 8.5 miles of coastline, the cost of ownership there, their draconian rules and regulations, and efforts to keep surfers out. I've visted someone who has a home in there a few times. The place is amazing. Cheers Fairness And Accuracy For All 05:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Please do not make further edits like this one as it messes up the numbering on the main page, WP:MFD. Naconkantari 02:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry - I didn't see the note in the edit summary till too late. I've seen other discussions with page breaks, so I thought it was OK. Fairness And Accuracy For All 02:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

When you get that HBO transcript

If it is electronic, I would love to have a copy! Thanks so much! BenBurch 05:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thought I had already done so, but it is done now. BenBurch 16:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Votergate Film

You know, most of the 'delete' votes have come from conservative editors with a similar edit trail. Groups like this often organize via email, then pretend not to know each other in public. Not saying that's necessarily the case here, but it's a classic situation. The opposite of good faith, when it occurs. Auto movil 21:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, it's the case. Derex 21:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Are you truly any different?

Re: Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Misplaced Pages:Miscellany_for_deletion.2FUser:GabrielF.2FConspiracyNoticeboard

I have watched this debate with interest from afar, like a pedistrian watches an oncoming train wreck, powerless to stop it, knowing it will happen, and secretly, deep down inside facinated to see its conclusion.

Ask yourself Fairness, are you really any different from the person you argued with? To attempt to difuse the situation, I won't use his name, but that won't matter anyway, will it? Go ahead and post yet another ANI. I will illustrate the blatant hypocricy of the ANI when you do.

Both of you are hardcore partisans who use wikipolicy as a sword.

Both of you are going to be eventually banned. You will be banned first, and soon, because the other user's side is better organized and has virulently partisan admins on his side.

The only chance you have is to:

1) Become a diplomat and edit smart. You are editing stupid. By stupid I mean that your partisanship is so evident, and the tit for tat deletions etc. are going to get you banned. You have pissed off a well organized group of partisans, who have much more power than you do.

2) Take a deep hard look in the mirror, and ask yourself if you are any better than your nemsis in the AfD. I don't think you two are much different at all. You are both POV warriors, pushing your own POV, refusing to comprise. POV warriors eventually get AfDs, then they get restrictions, and eventually they are banned or leave wikipedia with a loud egotistical pronouncement, which no one really cares about anyway. And they are in the outside looking in, and everyone keeps editing, and forgets about the POV warrior. That is your fate. If I was a betting man, I would bet 99 to 1, that is your fate. I have seen it dozens of times before. Rarely has anyone changed. I was indefinetly booted myself once, it is only by the grace of one kind admin who I had argued with before, that I am still here. I am still here because I radically changed my behavior, whereas most editors I know are slowly on there way out or have been indefinetly banned. Will I eventually get banned? Probably. I hope not, but if I was a betting man, probably. But I will be editing here months, if not years after you are forgotten. You will be indefinetly banned.'
