#{{user|RobS}} - Has been attempting to troll me and the page on [[Anti-Semitism]], he's clearly replacing proven information with pure speculation, and then attempted to get me banned for putting backed information. [[User:JamesLipton|JamesLipton]] 21:38, 1 April 2007 (EDT)
 
−
#:This edit was reverted [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Anti-Semitism&diff=80641&oldid=80371] with a summary, "read the cite; don't see how it supports the claim". [[User:JamesLipton]]'s actions there & here may be considered trollish behavior.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 16:54, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
 
−
:::[[User:JamesLipton]] has made unsubstantiated and inflamitory remarks privately.  He has repeated comments made by [[User:Order]] which Order himself has admitted to being false accusations against myself. [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Conservapedia:Abuse&diff=next&oldid=73799][http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Conservapedia:Abuse&diff=next&oldid=72613]  I regard the actions of both editors as harassment.
 
−
:::[[User:JamesLipton]] is intent upon [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Anti-Semitism&diff=prev&oldid=50188][http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Anti-Semitism&diff=next&oldid=80371] inserting false and malicious information into the [[Anti-Semitism]] article to impugn "fundementalist christians" (his words) and Rev. Jerry Falwell.  The latter defamation did include an external link citation which was reviewed and failed to substantiate the malicious charge ascribed to Rev. Falwell by [[User:JamesLipton]].
 
−
:::[[User:JamesLipton]] was blocked for two hours for trolling, however after recieving a threatening e-mail from him, stronger action may be necessary.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 17:39, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
 
−
 
−
::::The extent of my threat was that I would contact other administrators. Falwell was clearly quoted as stereotyping the Jews in the link I provided. [http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/right_jews.htm] If that doesn't prove my statement saying that Falwell has made open statements that can be taken as anti-semitism, then there's something terribly wrong with the standard of citations for this site.
 
−
::::It appears RobS only wants his opinion present, and has no qualms against putting words in my mouth or blocking me.
 
−
::::Also he has abused his admin powers, it is clearly stated on his talk page that he should never block for idealogical reasons, which he most obviously did. [[User:JamesLipton|JamesLipton]] 20:31, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
 
−
 
−
*If all that is so, why is this user still here?  Don't be such a softie, Rob.  See where it gets you?  To my way of thinking, a user emailing or messaging a Sysop with threats, inflammatory remarks or slander should be blocked as if they posted them in the article. Same goes for engaging in "revert wars" with a Sysop.  Mr. Lipton, cherry picking quotes to "show" someone might be anti-semetic, that (to quote you) "...that Falwell has made open statements ''that can be taken'' as anti-semitic...." might be something to be included in The Sun, but hardly the stuff of an encyclopedia. --~ [[User:TK|TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 20:38, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

::It didn't start with this user; this user repeated the lies & distortions under two subheadings on this page that never should have been posted here either.  Now I've been stalked, harassed, bullyied, defamed, and intimidated.  I have nothing to hide nor nothing to to run from.  This abuse, however needs to be dealt with head on, right here and now.
 
−
 
−
::This user stated, "It appears that you, are actually anti-semitic yourself. Not only from your conservative biased edits and trolling of the antisemitism page, but your terrible unproved statements on the page of Hitler."
 
−
 
−
::I suspect this was [[User:Order]]'s intent when posting the garbage he posted here to begin with.
 
−
 
−
::The cite [[User:JamesLipton]] uses to slander Falwell with needs closer scrutiny itself which I haven't had a chance to look at. The author of the smear appears to be a private investigator for hire.
 
−
 
−
::The substance of the claim that Falwell is "anti-Semitic" is simply lacking in the text from the link. There are two references, the first appears to be joke Falwell was making which actually praises Jews and ridicules non-Jews; the second is under a subhead entitled "Missionary activity" and quotes a passage from Falwell's book, "The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief. They are spiritually blind and desperately in need of their Messiah and Savior. Yet they are God's people, and in the world today Bible-believing Christians are the best friends the nation Israel has."
 
−
 
−
::If this is anti-Semitism I suspect the Jesus, the Aposptle Paul, and Mother Theresa must all be anti-Semites, too.
 
−
 
−
::This is simply another case were a controversial person use the word, "Jew" in print, and called an anti-Semite for doing so.  When I reverted, I was called an anti-Semite.  These must be dealt with now, and me banning either or both solves nothing.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 21:12, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
 
−
 
−
 
−
:::"Now I've been stalked, harassed, bullyied, defamed, and intimidated." Are you serious? Unless you are talking of that "Order" guy, I have no idea what you are speaking of.
 
−
:::About the Hitler edit thing, that was my mistake, I had previously not examined the issue and merely skimmed it, however that has little to do with this. I think you are only attempting to falsify a link to that, so as to sweep me under the carpet. You are to quick to discredit the article in question, despite the fact that it contains direct links to statements in question. I could find several other sources that quotes Falwell as saying that the Anti-Christ will be a Jew. Do you see that as a joke?
 
−
:::The article quotes Falwell when he makes a stereotypical remark about Jews in general. Obviously the stereotyping of an entire race is racism. [[User:JamesLipton|JamesLipton]] 21:32, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
 
−
 
−
::::So, you called me anti-Semitic (1) before examing any evidence (2) based upon lies another user admitted were without foundation.  With an appolgy, I will be be happy to forget the whole matter.
 
−
 
−
::::As to Rev. Falwell, I've contacted him and am waiting to hear from him.
 
−
 
−
::::The article wrenches a joke out of context Rev. Falwell is making to an audience which criticizes real anti-Semites.  It was strectch for this author to spew this garbage, and I see no reason anyone should repeat such obvious lies and distortions.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 21:52, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
 
−
 
−
:::::I was crossing the line a bit with the calling you an anti-semite and not reading into another matter more closely before commenting on it, but i still maintain the opinion that the article should show both sides of the issue, perhapes weasel words would be more applicable in this situation. Also I still carry the opinion that Falwell only wants two things of my kind, that we convert to Christianity, or that we burn in hell. [[User:JamesLipton|JamesLipton]] 22:05, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

::::::When you are ready to appologize for an egregious breach of civility, I'd be happy to engage the discussion on the appropriate discussion page.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 22:24, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
 
−
 
−
:::::::I do not believe it to be "an egregious breach of civility", but I will apologize for accusing you of antisemitism. I do still believe that my previous edit was appropriate, but I will be more ambiguous and use a more direct source next time. [[User:JamesLipton|JamesLipton]] 16:56, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

*Dunno about [[Breast Exam]], initial text by [[User:NewGuy2]], image added by [[User:EditGenius2]]. Sincere article about an important and nonsexual topic, or deliberate attempt to push at the borderlines? Image appears to have been copied from http://www.iparenting.com/resources/articles/cancerpregnancy.htm by the way.

::Could people at least reply on the talk page for the breast exam page for WHY they keep deleting the non offensive image?  If that's offensive, then this is going to end up being an amazingly tiny encyclopedia.  It doesn't show anything rude, as I said on the talk page, yet it's gone once again. --[[User:ALFa|ALFa]] 14:50, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

::: The desire by so many (present company excluded) to teach about sex has really been an eye-opener for me.  There appear to be millions of people wanting to teach about sex!  Virtually none of them become doctors, or even go into health professions.  Virtually none want to become real teachers.  But it's amazing how many want to be teachers of sex-related topics!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:09, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

:::::Can't say I understood that. Sorry. But, first, breast exams are not sex. They're cancer prevention. Second, teaching about safe sex prevents unwanted pregnancy, prevents abortion.-[[User:AmesG|AmesG]] 21:13, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
 
−
::::::LOL, "teaching about sex", "voyeurism", ahahaah.  Sorry but those are just the complete wrong terms to use.  First of all, a picture of a *covered* breast couldn't possibly relate to sex.  I'm sorry but that's just not how it works.  And how it is voyeurism I will never know, since that would theoretically be a pervert watching someone through a window without them knowing it, or something similar.  This is a diagram used to help prevent Breast Cancer.  They were definately fully aware of a photo being taken, are covering themselves, and aren't doing anything sexual.  But whatever, if you want to be afraid of a bare stomach being shown, inflict censorship, by all means. --[[User:ALFa|ALFa]] 23:00, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

*[[User:Scriabin]] and [[User:Familyman]], for subtle vandalism in their creation of the original articles on [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Johann_Sebastian_Bach&oldid=33939 Johann Sebastian Bach] and [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Bach%2C_johann_sebastian&oldid=40072 Bach, johann sebastian] (now a redirect). They highlight a problem that concerns me: both of these articles, as created, are poisonous mixes of valid information with misinformation that is subtle enough to escape notice by people who don't know the subject, while ludicrous enough to arouse the derision of those who do. [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Johann_Sebastian_Bach&oldid=33939 Johann Sebastian Bach] said that Bach composed "a C Minor Mass." If he did, it's obscure, whereas his '''B''' Minor Mass is celebrated; ''Mozart'' wrote a famous C Minor Mass. That could be a typo. Saying Bach composed ''The Diabelli Variations'' (which are by Beethoven) can't be. The original version of [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Bach%2C_johann_sebastian&oldid=40072 Bach, johann sebastian] goes over the top when it says "The title of his collection Bach's Great Organ Works is attributed, according to legend, to his wife Anna Magdalena Bach upon the delivery of their umpteenth child." OK, maybe not-so-subtle vandalism. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 18:49, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

:Familyman has been blocked, and upon Dpbsmith's comments above I also blocked Scriabin.  But upon further extensive investigation I couldn't find evidence justifying a block of Scriabin, so I have unblocked him.  I have an open mind about this and welcome comments by others.  I'm particularly reluctant to disagree with Dpbsmith, who has almost always been right here and has been with us since nearly the beginning.  Thanks, Dpbsmith!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:21, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

I am reporting [[user: Conservative]] He was involved in a dispute with AmesG and then unilaterally decided to ban him for a week, using a power he possessed and AmesG does not. That is a blatant abuse of SysOp authority - the proper course of action would have been to bring in another SysOp as a neutral third party to decide the matter. I am asking that AmesG be re-instated and Conservative be given a warning for his abuse of authority. This kind of ham-handed banning will give this site a bad reputation that will be hard to shake.--[[User:Dave3172|Dave3172]] 16:43, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

[[User:AustinM|AustinM]] banns [[User:JC|JC]] for putting the creationist view on other articles, claiming it is vandalism. [[User:AustinM|AustinM]] then goes and vandalizes the [[Margaret Thatcher]], [[John Major]] and [[Guantanamo Bay detention camp]] articles. Are Conservatives fighting amongst each other in order to decide whose version of reality gets to be the definitive one? Can't wait for the SYSOPs banning SYSOPs melee.

:This site is an endless source of surreal entertainment. I can't really see anyone taking it seriously as an encyclopedia.

:I assume I'll get banned for pointing that out.

::[[User:Niandra|Niandra]] did infact ban [[User:WhatIsGoingOn|WhatIsGoingOn]] for his/her one and only contribution - on a talk page. I take it freedom of speech (obscenity aside) isn't part of the Conservapedia philosophy, or is stating uncomfortable truths considered vandalism here?

The page has been blocked to prevent editing, which I would normally commend had the content been accurate, except that the existing definition of Christianity is a weak rendition of the actual Biblical revelation.  It should not be defined by a Harris poll! If you are to be any better than Wikipedia, you must want truth to be objectively stated.  For something as important as one's eternal relationship with God Himself, the information better be accurate!

In Wikipedia, when Christians try to edit, say to some cult's page, the cult members merely come and erase it and edit it out.  Truth doesn't matter to the site, and they allow the false claims to continue.  That should be different here!  Truth is objective, and can be known by anyone, believer or unbeliever in Christianity.  Facts are still facts.  But we can only write articles to the level of our knowledge.  Whoever wrote, wrote what he could, but it can be improved, and should be allowed to be improved.

I would suggest a respected editorial Board for Christian issues.  All Christian denominations surprisingly agree on the basics such as are in the Apostle's and Nicene Creeds of the Church.  There is one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; Jesus is fully God and flly man; He died and rose physically from the dead; He offers salvation solely on account of His grace, His works on our behalf, as our Substitute, taking the wrath of God due us.  God calls us to repent and believe, and that faith is a "gift, that no man may boast."(Eph.2:8,9). Our salvation is because of the works of Christ alone, and we have this knowledge from inspired Scripture alone, etc.

All three major branches of Christianity, Protestantism, Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy would agree that Mormonism or Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian denominations, but rather non-Christian cults or religions.  But in order to show the truth of various claims, there must be accuracy in reporting the facts -- objectivity.  As it is right now, the definition of Christianity is far too limited.

:They, on the other hand would disagree.  Are we going with [[Truth By Headcount]], now?  If so, the Christians were Wrong(tm) back when the Roman Empire was using them for lion chow.  --[[User:Scrap|Scrap]] 06:33, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

:: I'm not sure where this stands now, and I apologize for being late on this discussion.  But I wanted to say this:  let's avoid using the word "cult" to describe any group.  It seems overly pejorative and not encyclopedic.  Thanks.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 19:32, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

*Mr. Schlafly is correct.  Too many words are bandied about all over the Net.  Jim Jones, of Jonestown--Peoples Temple infamy, he ran a "Cult".  So think of him, and his tragedy, before applying that word. Last I checked, neither the JW's or LDS people were telling their people to drink Kool-aid laced with poison, so they could cross over and meet Jesus.

Blocked [[user:JesusSaves]] for three days.  Reason for it was in repeated inclusion of a nonsensical line in the article [[Genesis]], and his decision to begin and escalate an argument about it.  When given a last warning to stop, he continued.  It's documented on the [[Genesis]] talk page.  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 20:13, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
 
−
:I have to tell you, this is a mirror image of when Conservative blocked AmesG.  Karajou, you were involved in a personal dispute with the user and should probably get a fellow sysop to sign off on that.
 
−
 
−
:From [[Talk:Genesis]] "If you intend to continue this fight, then I'm going to boot you from the site. Last warning. Karajou 19:41, 18 March 2007 (EDT)"

−
:The fight was with you... get a neutral sysop to go with you... you probably had a case but booting him yourself removes your moral authority.  [[User:Myk|Myk]] 20:47, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

−
:: I reviewed this debate betwen Karajou and JesusSaves at length.  While blocking is always a last resort, it is appropriate when someone is repeatedly interfering with productive work.  Karajou could have locked the page, but that would have prevented others from contributing to this work-in-progress.
 
−
 
−
:: JesusSaves should have deferred to the person doing the most work on the entry (Karajou).  It's not right for a bystander to come along and repeatedly insist on placing a dot somewhere in the Mona Lisa as Da Vinci paints it.  Karajou warned JesusSaves repeatedly, and even then blocked him for only 3 days.
 
−
 
−
:: Put another way, we don't allow a heckler's veto here.  Some professional courtesy and deference is appropriate, and Karajou need not divert his efforts to track down other SYSOPs in this situation.  I hope JesusSaves will return and not insist on his same edit yet again.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:16, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

:::Personaly, I did not like the thought of having him, or anyone else for that matter, removed from the site.  I think a better preference for myself at least would be to contact another sysop or Aschlafly for arbitration should another incident happen.  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 13:16, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

I made a "short" list of redirects that still exist after the "on wheels" move vandalism. I believe they should be cleaned up... But instead of actually editing fifty redirect pages to include them in the "Speedy Delete" category, I just compiled a list at [[User:Sid 3050/Deletion List]]. I also included the Delete links AND lined them up in a nifty column so you can just click away if you like. (Yes, I've been having far too much fun with regular expression replacements there. I'm weird like that.) =P --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 23:17, 17 March 2007 (EDT)
