Jayjg wasn't pleased with Cla68's calm reply to Jay's various BADSITES rants plastered all over WP:ANI, attacking Lar, Cla, and everyone else in sight.

Yes, we are the devil, in his eyes.

Jesus, can't anyone get a little torqued about this? Jay is "alleged" to be an "administrator" of some high level. Yet here he is, being a snotty little boy, and censoring his own talk page of all mention of WR.

If WP were a "real" nonprofit charitable institution, they would show Jay the door, for violating some or other official policy. There's GOT to be a rule he just violated, apart from the 1st Amendment.....

When will they just give in to their baser impulses, and make an official policy out of "Wikipedia does not permit free speech"? Don't forget this classic.

I take it that you disagree with Wikipedia policy that allows you to delete content from your own talk page?

Administrators on WR seem to think that its appropriate to delete user's posts, so is it not a double standard for the same administrators to start such a thread on cleaning out a talk page, even though the history allows anyone to see it if they so choose?

Of course, but I doubt that would really matter.

It's more of a triple-standard. In other words, we think it's appropriate to delete your posts, which we do mostly to prevent you from embarrassing yourself, but everyone else pretty much gets a free pass. Then there's the other standard for Jayjg, which makes three!

Of course, if Jayjg were to get the kind of ridiculous claptrap that you've been posting here on his talk page, such as, "You are either contributing to the consensus, or you have no say. There are two choices," he'd delete that too.

Perhaps the traditional "verb conjugation" thing applies...

I tidy up my talk page by removing irrelevant and counterproductive things, including trolling from people who ought to be banned.

You are being unfair to people with opposing viewpoints due to your hair-trigger deletion of things you prefer not to see. Please try to be more thoughtful in the future.

He/She/They are evil censors, pushing their POV by suppressing opposition... ban them!

...and of course let's not forget the informal you reserved for friends and puppets, which enjoys the same privileges as I.
