Remember when WP:No personal attacks was an actual policy, not merely a guideline to be ignored if you're on a righteous crusade?

There is no bright-line rule about what constitutes a personal attack as opposed to constructive discussion, but some types of comments are never acceptable: ...

  • Using someone's affiliations as a means of dismissing or discrediting their views—regardless of whether said affiliations are mainstream.

I made the mistake of assuming this policy was taken seriously on WP.

Game over. Bad behavior won. --Backin72 (n.b.) 09:22, 1 January 2009 (UTC)



Welcome to Citizendium. We are looking for expert editors. -- Dēmatt (chat) 22:24, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Got that right. As usual your timing is exquisite. :-) BTW, sorry to redact, but I'm including no personal information on WP anymore. For purposes of this site, I'm a brain in a vat using an advanced augmentative and alternative communication device. cheers, Backin72 (n.b.) 08:56, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Greetings. I hope you stick around. I understand your decision and will still support you as an honest and well-meaning editor. Good luck. -- Fyslee (talk) 18:38, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Yeah man, I've been on the road to where good intentions lead for too long to turn around now.  ;-) Hope your New Year brings peace and good times. --Backin72 (n.b.) 09:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
