Don't put these stupid tags on articles that are under development, and which will be well-referenced, and which are important in relation to the Western philosophical tradition. Stick to garage bands or something. Peter Damian (talk) 12:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I think it's funny that the AFD nominator has "I am tired of the ongoing levels of drama on Wikipedia" on his User page.

Peter, instead of working to develop new content amidst such a hostile environment, why don't you author your articles on some other, more inviting wiki forum, release it under the terms of the GFDL, then copy it wholesale into Wikipedia, so that it looks completely polished from the get-go?

Then, your new work also has the advantage of multiple Google hits, instead of just one.

Good idea. I invite you to wikinfo.org, where according to Greg at least one admin is "the hottest, sauciest wiki-editor the world has ever known". biggrin.gif

Thanks, Greg, it's nice to be e-preciatied.

Peter Noster could also draft yet another re*daction of his Don't Be A Mirabile Dictum at Google's Knol, where he would have his druthers of Collaboration Models and Cremative Come-Ons Licenses.

Or he could just keep on whining e-round in circles 4ever, until Miltown & Moulton Inc. dedicates an opera to him, say, Peter Is The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

I just found the discussion on ANI, and was about to post it when I saw this thread. My sympathies, Peter.

On wikipedia, you often enter into conversations with people and try to be civil and productive.

Then you realize you're talking to a twelve year-old, and feel stupid.

Worse still, then another twelve year-old blocks you because your article on the Epistemic Theory of Miracles isn't sourced as well as your average article on the Transformers.
