Smert' spamionem! This user is a member of WikiProject Spam.

I check in most mornings and most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see Greenwich Royal Observatory from my new office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some OTRS tickets.

I am under considerable personal stress at the moment; my father died and I have a lot of other stuff going on in RL including a new job as senior engineer for enterprise storage and virtual infrastructure in a Fortune 500 company. Great job, lots of shiny expensive toys, big responsibility. But Misplaced Pages is still one of my top hobbies, and I come here to do what I can. I respond much better to polite requests than to demands. People who taunt me with "I dare you to block me" may have cause to regret it, as may I. Don't even think of trying to drag me into one of the many cesspits this project offers, I will likely choose only those disputes where I don't actually care too much. Not coming to your party? It's because I've decided it will make me unhappy. Sorry about that.

Above all, please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way. Make an effort to assume good faith and let's see if we can't get along. Guy (Help!) 22:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Msg to Guy

Hi. You recently nuked the WSEAS page (see http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:COIN#WSEAS). Since then, someone suggested I try my hand at writing a better draft in my own space, StaySeven/sandbox. I am happy to, but could you please restore the last useful version there (I mean put a copy in my sandbox, not restore the article to full status) so that I have some raw material to work with? Once I'm done with the draft, I will invite some more experienced users to take a look, and then follow whatever is the right procedure for re-including the page.

Thanks, StaySeven (talk) 01:52, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy

Hi JzG. I re-edited this section in the physical therapy page. I have provided sources for this section. Please read my post on the discussion page regarding this. Looking forward to your input. Thanks JlharrisDPT (talk) 02:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

• And the first para had a source which failed to support the text, the second was unsourced and the third pretty trivial. Oh, and your obsession with this makes me think tat you are promoting your own discipline and hence financial interests. Guy (Help!) 09:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, actually just trying to contribute to a subject I know a lot about. I have cited everything (now). Please let me know what you have questions about specifically (now). ThanksJlharrisDPT (talk) 01:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi JzG. I agree with your edits, but I tagged the material to try to give JlharrisDPT a chance to improve on his addition; otherwise, he'll just continue to add back citationless, COI stuff. For now, I'll just put the stuff you deleted on the article's talk page for JlharrisDPT's benefit. Thanks for your help, and please let me know if you have any ideas of how to assist this user better. --Eustress (talk) 15:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

List of songs portraying sexual attraction to children or adolescents

Why was this list blanked? Just curious. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 19:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

• It wasn't blanked, I just removed the ones that weren't sourced. Guy (Help!) 20:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the drama the other day. I have to stop watching Geraldo Rivera and Days of our lives..:) Igor Berger (talk) 21:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

the afd of Rock N Roll Worship Service

Hi, Guy. I've followed up to your question at this afd. You bring up good points about wp:music's intent. I can't speak for the intent (nor do I have any attachment to this group). I'm just trying to apply the criteria as it's currently written. As your edit history indicates that you are active in the wp:music discussions, this may be a good case to use as a starting point for seeing if the definition of "national music charts" need to be specified/clarified/restricted (not sure what the best word is) to indicate intent. Right now the word is (perhaps purposely) vague. Best wishes. -Gwguffey (talk) 03:27, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Resolved tag

On the AN/I section. I removed it, as I think people are still commenting. I certainly would like to see an explanation, as would, it appears, others. --Relata refero (disp.) 15:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I think somebody else had the same idea, so I was edit conflicted on AN/I as I wrote this note. :) --Relata refero (disp.) 15:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

• How silly of me not to realise that what we really need most of all is MOAR DRAMAH. Guy (Help!) 17:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Guy, we need less drama, more experts. And premature archiving never creates less drama, you must have noticed that by now.... --Relata refero (disp.) 18:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

We need more experts, not more "experts". Think user:Jon Awbrey. Guy (Help!) 21:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Dear God, yes. But even the sane ones tend to be older and more accustomed to talking at length without being interrupted, so the AfD in question was guaranteed to, first, get them riled, and second, drive them away.... --Relata refero (disp.) 00:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

calm down.

thanks for your unsolicited intervention, but nothing i said was out of line or contrary to policy. --emerson7 15:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm pleased to see that you consider posting to the admin noticeboards not to be solicitation. Guy (Help!) 21:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thumbs up!

My word you are right. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 21:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Remote viewing and elsewhere

Hello Guy,

I hope you don't mind my posting on your page, but I'd like to formally ask you to stop being insulting and uncivil. Especially at this time on the Remote viewing talk page. Examples include referring to the paranormal or belief in it as "True Belief," and "twaddle," (which is insulting to anyone who might believe). Also, your telling me to "stop spitting in the soup" and to "stop trying to obscure this obvious" (emphasis added) as well as this sarcasm. I wouldn't mention it, but these kind of things create an unnecessarily hostile and unpleasant atmosphere for everyone, not just me- even in those cases where it's mainly directed at me.

Thanks ——Martin ☎ Ψ Φ—— 00:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

• You stop promoting fringe bullshit and I'll stop being sarcastic. Deal? Guy (Help!) 09:00, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Request for arbitration

I have filed a request for arbitration which involves you. Please see Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#ScienceApologist.2FJzG. John254 04:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

• All that's missing is any attempt to resolve the content dispute. Oh, and of course it's a content dispute, so not amenable to arbitration. Guy (Help!) 08:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
