::With that said, I have absolutely no problem following rules. And should I run afoul of those rules, I have no particular qualms with accepting the ramifications of my actions. What I do take issue with is when those rules are not applied universally. In my brief tenure on Conservapedia, I have seen editors routinely insult each other's faith, intelligence, and political ideologies. I have seen editors address each other in disrespectful, mocking, and boastful tones. I have even witnessed an editor threaten another with physical violence (jokingly I'm sure). Yet, none of those incidents met with even a stern warning, much less a block of any duration. Yet engaging in similar (though milder, IMO) banter on my part is routinely met with blocks.

::@DamianJohn - I'm not blocking people for incivility because I think that they have hurt the feeling of Conservative or any other editor. I'm banning them because such behavior disrupts our goal of developing this encyclopedia, and is also against our site's rules. In regards to the particular debate in hand, whatever you think of his opinions, Conservative didn't utter a single insult during said debate on Talk:Socialism.
::While Andy's shortening of the Donny's block was a supposed to be a compromise between all sides, I think it validated my position more than yours. If Andy had thought that the time during which Donny was blocked was more than enough, he would have revoked the block completely, and yet he didn't. It seems to me like he was more on my side and merely shortened the block in order to appease you.
::About the North Pole affair... you and AlanA have a warped perspective of what happened. Karajou deleted the article after he found out it was a parody article, without any prompting from me. I merely put the delete template after the article was gone - why have a talk page for an article that no longer exists?
::The reason why I work so diligently on enforcing the guidelines are precisely because I want to contribute to our encyclopedia - I think the guidelines are one of the reasons this site is so great. Our rules help prevent the [[talk pollution]], bickering and liberal bias that prevail over all other wikis. Enforcing the rules is part of my contribution to Conservapedia.
::@DonnyC - in a minute or so I'm going to give you a separate reply on your talk page. - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 11:15, 4 March 2013 (EST)
