Interesting article, that Brown Dog Affair. It describes a conflict in England in the early 20th century over animal vivisection that ended up focusing on a statue of a dog that was protesting the use of animals in experimentation and medical teaching, where enraged mobs on the two sides (of keeping or removing the statue) had violent riots breaking out repeatedly over several years, massive police protection was given to the statue to prevent vandalism, and finally the local council authorized a cabal to sneak in the night and remove and destroy the statue secretly to try to stop all the controversy over it.

Reminds me of some of the Wikipedia follies.

Hi Guy fancy you seing you here. I just love your posts on [WikiEN-l] - don't care for your language there much though. Does that count as offsite? Giano (talk) 20:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP Point

For heaven's sake do stop "WP Pointing" every time some one does not agree with you [1] it is becoming tiresome in the extreme. Giano (talk) 20:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Block threat

Crum375, about your note on Giano's page: please don't template the regulars, and don't threaten somebody you're edit warring with, with blocking. I'm sure you know you're not supposed to use blocks or block threats to gain the upper hand in a dispute. Bishonen | talk 20:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC).

Oh by the way Crum, tell me, I have been meaning to ask you, were you one of those with whom Durova discussed the block of !!. One of those who were positive to enthusiastic for Durova to block !!? Think before you answer. Giano (talk) 21:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Remember... Giano doesn't ask questions for which he doesn't think he already has the answer.

Take that for what it's worth... smile.gif
