If it is that obvious, just block him. --Tim (CPAdmin1)^{talk Vote in my NEW polls} 23:13, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

I like to give them one last chance. HenryS 23:17, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

I blocked him. He was being way too obvious. --Tim (CPAdmin1)^{talk Vote in my NEW polls} 23:17, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

Good block. His strategy has failed him. HenryS 23:21, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

Default sorts

Thanks for fixing Flinders. There are others - can I do them myself? (I tried something like it last year and got jumped on from a great height by TK.) Cheers.AlanE 22:19, 10 September 2008 (EDT)

Oh, and another thing... I come across lists of "Terms"; "Reformation Terms", Exploration Terms" and the like. They are almost completely empty. Seeing as the Category sites do the same job, is there any reason not to delete these pages? AlanE 22:19, 10 September 2008 (EDT)

I don't know about the terms, that is something to ask another. But yes, please do the default sorts if you want to. Its a pretty boring job... HenryS 23:02, 10 September 2008 (EDT)

I have sent you a very important email to your email inbox. Your mail isn't active, so I replied to an old one you sent me that I never deleted. HelpJazz 15:14, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

... actually the headline is just about the whole message, so there you go. HelpJazz 15:14, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

I received the email, but didn't understand it. Sorry. HenryS 22:25, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

Thank You

Thank you for unblocking me - I knew the block must have been a misunderstanding. --DRamon 10:14, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for unblocking me too. Very fair-handed of you. Sideways 20:20, 20 September 2008 (EDT)

Okay. HenryS 14:14, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Hello

Why is my edit removed again? I edit on wikipedia and my edit is never removed. I edit here and two times removes my edits. I thought this was better wikipedia that any one could edit. SyedO 17:18, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

What edit are you talking about? HenryS 17:29, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Gade

If you or any of the other Danish people wish to add/change Niels.... I play his music occasionally but don't know enough of it to get the overall feel for it. (He always sounds so darn German, but I played the Ossian piece this morning whilst writing and it was more evocative - of exactly what I don't know.) Is he known for anything in particular in Denmark? What do I need to hear? AlanE 17:58, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Can't help. Sorry, I know little about music. I am just a partiot. HenryS 19:08, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

We all like a parti! BrianCo 19:31, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Oops. Well, I could have been using Danish slang or something. HenryS 19:43, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Unlock?

Could you unlock bipolar disorder? A user wants to add some things, and I promise to play nice. HelpJazz 13:41, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Hi, I'm going to second the request to unlock the article. The controversy seems to have long died down, and I was hoping to add some links I put on the talk page to the actual article. Sorry to bother you! LiamG 01:07, 5 November 2008 (EST)

Thank you very much! LiamG 22:11, 5 November 2008 (EST)

Why the block? --Tim (CPAdmin1)^{talk Vote in my NEW polls} 21:01, 15 November 2008 (EST)

No particular reason. HenryS 21:03, 15 November 2008 (EST)

I don't think blocks for "no particular reason" are allowed here. --Tim (CPAdmin1)^{talk Vote in my NEW polls} 21:05, 15 November 2008 (EST)

I'm used to it. The blocks are less scary than giant pictures of Putin on my talk page. HelpJazz 21:06, 15 November 2008 (EST)

Henry, pay him no mind, as he (the above) is obviously a friend of PUTIN! --₮K^/Talk 21:06, 15 November 2008 (EST)

I want that sucker out of here. Three times he posts. Three times cursing the Lord.--Jpatt 20:14, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Go ahead. HenryS 20:19, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Thanks HenryS, you've supported me since day one, you rock!--Jpatt 20:29, 17 November 2008 (EST)

He reposted it after being asked not to. Its clear some people are not here to contribute. HenryS 20:33, 17 November 2008 (EST)

MylesP has written to me (your e-mail is not enabled), asking for his case to be reviewed. He makes the following points:

1. The piece was satirical in intent and not gibberish or vandalism

I agree with this

2. It is only a talk page, not article material

This is true

3. I did NOT repost it on the page after it was deleted and had no intention of doing so. I put it on MY talk page as a archival thing.

This is also true. I haven't seen where he was asked not to post it. He was told on his talk page to "try to keep discussion about ways to improve the article", but that doesn't preclude him posting it on his own talk page.

4. I do not curse the Lord and am a practicing Christian who reads the Bible and is a conservative on quite a number of issues (such as using who and whom properly, and table ettiquette)

JPatt appears to claim that he posted it three times (although he is not clear that he is talking about this piece of satire), yet it appears to be true that he only posted it twice, once on the Obama talk page, then once on his own talk page after it was removed from the Obama talk page. JPatt also claims that he was "cursing the Lord" three times. Presumably the same three times, which means that it's actually only twice. But it's not clear where he did this. I suspect that JPatt is referring to the use of a word in the satire that begins with the letters g-o-d. I might agree that this word is considered offensive and should be removed, but I would disagree that its use was intended as "cursing the Lord".

When blocking someone, we really need to consider whether their intention was good or bad. If someone is doing something wrong, but with good intentions, it's not appropriate to block them. Advice, or a warning, is appropriate. In this case, I can't see evidence of a malicious intent in the original posting, and I can't see evidence of willful disobedience in reposting it on his talk page.

Given all this, I believe that a block, let alone a six-month one, is not warranted. All that might be needed is a warning about using that word, if that's felt to be necessary. Would you agree to lifting the block?

Philip J. Rayment 05:34, 20 November 2008 (EST)

Sure, whatever. I did not block him for posting it, I did not block him for reposting it, I blocked him when, after being told not to repost it on the article talkpage, he posted it to me in response. Surely you agree that such a post is not proper for a talk page at a so-called encyclopedia? That said, I don't care whether you unblock him or not. HenryS 09:52, 20 November 2008 (EST)

Thanks, I've unblocked him. However, I don't follow your comments above. You say that you blocked him when he "posted it to [you]". Do you mean by e-mail, or what? Philip J. Rayment 00:42, 21 November 2008 (EST)

No, I don't allow emails through conservapedia and I don't plan to. After I reverted him twice and politely asked him not to post, his next move was to post it on his talkpage as a response to me. I hope now that user will contribute something of encyclopedic value, something that is not unnecessary and offensive. HenryS 21:02, 21 November 2008 (EST)

You're funny Bohdan

<sarcastic laugh>Ha ha ha ha that was the best ever.</sarcastic laugh> Now could you reblock me so that the block ends on midnight on Nov 21? I don't feel like doing the math ;-) Thanks, HelpJazz 12:56, 19 November 2008 (EST)

I got your telegram. --Ed Poor ^Talk 20:53, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. --sam(m)y 23:30, 27 November 2008 (EST)

Thanks, but...

Thanks for the unblock (and thanks to BRichtigen and HelpJazz for speaking up), but I think that Ed's invitation was directed at AndyJM, who still has his five-year ban. His block and mine became somewhat mixed in the discussion. Not that I mind having my slight conflict-of-interest-ish block being undone (and really, none of the blocks in this issue had been necessary or justified in my eyes, but that's another matter), but I think that it's AndyJM's ban that should have been lifted (my block would've expired in a few days while his expires in a few years). --AlanS 20:23, 1 December 2008 (EST)

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the unblock, again. Was the comment on the unblock directed at me or someone else? I had trouble understanding it, but if it wasn't for me I won't waste further effort on the attempt.LowKey 21:34, 2 December 2008 (EST)
