Responding to months old comments on talk pages

Doing so is fairly useless and will not be seen by anyone. If you wish to bring up a new issue, start a new section. —Centrx→talk • 18:36, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

NPA ("No Personal Attack") concerns, indeed... (moved from Talk:Noah's Ark by User:KillerChihuahua)

  1. With this edit, User:Orange Marlin referred to me as "some highly POV editor" without exactly knowing what my private views are, because I had restored the statement detailing what religions the belief in Noah's Ark is found in.
  2. With this edit, User:Filll wrote: If an obscure minority extremist religion like the "Mormons" venerates the Ark story and declares it to be "true", this proves nothing, and some might take it as a very serious strike against its veracity, given the Mormon track record on many other issues. (Underscoring mine.) This is a reportable violation of Misplaced Pages policy, and betrays open hostility.
  3. With this edit, User Filll wrote: :It is too bad that you are incomprehensible. Oh well. I guess I did not expect much else. This is also an ad hominem personal attack. In the same edit he added: gallons and gallons of blood have been spilt by people with your kind of viewpoint. Without even exactly knowing what religion I belong to, if any, he feels confident enough to spread accusatory, reportable slander against my person, in default of any kind of logical argument.
  4. He continued the blatant ad hominem with this edit where he stated: Hmm...And I guess that assuming you subscribe to a religion is some sort of terrible slander against you, equivalent to spitting on you. In such case, it is best that I leave you alone in your reveries and fantasies.
  5. Not to be outdone, User:Orange Marlin, in denying that User:Filll had made apersonal attack against me, then referred to me as "pathetic" in this edit:
  6. Orange Marlin then made this very strange edit, stating: It's amusing that their faith is so weak that any challenge to their view of the universe, obviously means their faith has no meaning. Well, obviously their faith was weak to begin with. This is very strange, because as I have never revealed whether I have any faith and if so, that would be strictly private and none of your business, just as whatever faith you choose is none of my business. But the remarks clearly reveal some kind of innate hostility against those in the world who do profess some sort of faith, or an express desire to weaken or deride that faith.
  7. I, Til Eulenspiegel, having noted all of these and also several other comments of theirs, fairly made the observation at WP:LDS that these editors do not hide their hostility against people of faith. And just for that, you come in as if with authority of judge, jury and executioner all in one, and inform me that I am in violation of NPA. This is truly a sad day in hypocrisy, wikipedians.

I have moved this here as article talk pages are not the best place for resolving disputes concerning anything but content of the article itself. Neither is the LDS Wikiproject. I am certain you saw that I admonished the other editors as well (and you may find reassuance in the knowledge that on at least one previous occasion, I removed one of OrangeMarlin's posts, without even moving it anywhere for discussion.) Personal attacks and incivility are best handled through other venues; counter-attacks and escalation serve neither the injured editor nor the project as whole. While I understand your frustration, I suggest you take a little time to consider what your primary goals here are. If you are here to promote a particular point of view, you are in the wrong place. I suggest one of the Christian Wikis instead. If you are here to become mired in flame wars, UseNet will be a more tolerant venue. If you are here to help write an encyclopedia and ensure accuracy and neutrality of the content, you are not going to acheive those goals by sinking into mud-slinging and ad hom wars, nor cries of censorship, suppresion, or complaints of executioners. Please let me know if I can help you in any way here.
