Age of consent/Pedophilia
Burke, you moved a large section from one article to another article, then said it didn't belong in the second article either. Are you going to put it somewhere else?
Rudolf Freiherr von Sebottendorff
Burke, how could the founder of a "Worker's party" be regarded as right-wing? And what offices did this "politician" hold? VargasMilan 02:34, 12 March 2015 (EDT) I took out the reference to the right-wing, and replaced "politician" with "political activist". Is that better?--Burke39 02:37, 12 March 2015 (EDT)
Restriction
You're getting another chance, but you're not allowed to edit articles or content on human sexuality. Those are Conservapedia's administration's orders. VargasMilan 21:15, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
- Ok, I understand. Is that a permanent restriction or a temporary one? I mean if I agree to change what the problems were can I edit them?--Burke39 21:17, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
It's permanent as for now. If you show good behavior as a regular contributor, you may have success in appealing that decision. VargasMilan 21:34, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
- Its just that I'm not sure that my contributions in that topic were any worse than in other areas. Why is that specific area being singled out? --Burke39 21:44, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
- I think it's because you sort of have to be an expert to discuss these matters conservatively, and you have been shown in general to have made a lot of mistakes in presenting facts enyclopedically. VargasMilan 21:54, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
- By "discuss these matters conservatively" do you mean from a conservative political viewpoint, or do you mean with caution in order to avoid making mistakes? --Burke39 21:56, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
- Conservative in style and substance. They can both involve each other. VargasMilan 22:02, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
- I remember reading on your talk page somebody stating that "he maxed out his creepy/bizarre/liberal sex topic quota". So I thought maybe it was because of some kind of bias that they felt my editing contained. I'm actually a conservative politically, and although I don't think conversion therapy works in most cases, I don't agree with the homosexual "rights" movement and I'm against pedophilia. The only reason I took out the Kinsey comment about the adult-child thing was that it was sourced to a dead link, I didn't necessarily disagree with it. I'm against the ideas of people like Sigmund Freud and Alfred Kinsey who wanted to destroy morality. Also, in the ephebophilia article when I put the mental health practitioners did not consider it a mental problem, I wasn't saying that acting on attractions like that would be a good idea, I was just saying that the sources don't consider it a perversion the way pedophilia is considered a perversion because people in adolescence have adult bodies, that is what the reliable sources say for the most part in psychiatry. I understand I have to abide by the restriction even though I do not agree with it though.--Burke39 22:06, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
- Wait, another thing. Does the topic ban on sexuality only applies to articles specifically about sexuality, or does it also apply to sex when it comes up in other articles. For example, Nelson Rockefeller died during or shortly after sexual intercourse with a woman who worked for him, and he lost his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 1964 because he divorced his wife to marry another woman he had been committing adultery with, and he also had sex with a lot of other women he was not married to, so in an article about him the topic of sex would come up. And in a lot of articles about other famous people like Bill Clinton, Clarence Thomas, Mike Tyson, and Roman Polanski, accusations (whether true or false) of sexual misconduct come up. Am I banned from editing parts of articles about people that relate to their sexual lives or to sexual accusations against them, or just from articles specifically about sexuality?--Burke39 23:36, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
Is there anything wrong with my recent edits to other topics
I put some edits in the Mormonism article because it seemed like the article was saying Mormonism is Christian, and its not. I'm not a particularly religious person so I don't have a dog in that fight, but Mormonism is completely different from Christianity. --Burke39 22:06, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
- I checked those edits and found nothing offensive. VargasMilan 22:21, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
