JzG, you got a beef, come here if you've got the nut for it, (It only requires one nut, apparently) Options

[Joseph100]

Title saids it all...

Guy Chapman, you got the nut come here and face us in open debate.

You can, behind your gated community of lairs and power drunk punks and say stuff like this...
Guy hiding and spouting.

Be a man and come and talk to us in the open arena of ideas an prove to us that you not an Ass.
and your wikkipean project is not a failure.

I don't mean to seem contrarian, but... what would be the point of that?

That "harassment links" page has been there for months. Mr. Chapman is completely committed to that policy, in some form or other - and irrationally so, at this point. We're not going to change his mind. Arguing with True Believers™ is usually a waste of time under even the best of circumstances, and besides, the BADSITES controversy has increased our traffic numbers, not the other way around. It was a huge tactical blunder on their part - they should have known that the rest of the world would see it as censorship. The fact that they didn't suggests a level of delusional thinking that, quite frankly, only reinforces the idea that arguing with him/them would be a waste of time.

Anyway, I fixed the spelling in the thread title...

...love the self-referential "one nut" note, Somey. Well done.

No, JuggsZisGuy's last edit line definitely refers to "taking balls and running with them, too far sometimes".

Well, "WE" all know Mr. Chapman won't and Wiki won't change this policy.

The reason, by they're silence, that they consent to those offensive policies of censorship and the like.

They're refusal will speak of the kind of people and wikipeida is.

I don't think I like this sort of "calling people out" if they do something you don't like.

It doesn't accomplish anything, it doesn't help matters and it generally lowers the collective quality of posts.

It's not that I can't relate. I've written a few threads myself when I was pissed off, which were trashed later - I just don't think this particular approach is very useful.

There is scant evidence to support invective as a functional approach, and considerable evidence to suggest that invective is ineffective at best and counter-productive at worst.

Quo vadis?

[Joseph100]

Quo vadis?

From vadis or "were are you going?"

You planning a trip to a boys camp?
you going here?
