[edit] French horn
Heh. I watch French horn[wp] on The Other Wiki. Just recently, after a bit of teapot tempestuousness, it was moved to that title, previously being named something like "Horn (instrument)". I hope you like popcorn ;) Alec Sanderson (talk) 13:16, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- Well, it would appear that I have been smacked with the facthammer of Wikipeds and Bicholim Conflicts. However, I would love some popcorn, and on a more serious note, well, point taken. PacWalker (talk) 13:24, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- Not trying to make any kind of serious point... that made for some minor drama (hence the popcorn) on the English wikipedia. Looking at the other-language articles, I see you're right; it is mostly just variations on "horn" or "waldhorn" with the Scots Gaelic article being "Sassenach horn." That means "English", or those loathesome

[edit] What specific nonfederal entity did I associate with the lincoln cent?
You vandalized my article with a reference to a coinage rule:
"(c) any other nonfederal entity, person, activity, product, or service."
What specific "nonfederal entity, person, activity, product, or service" do you allege I associated with the Lincoln cent?LogicMaster777 (talk) 09:36, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
- You associated the federal gov't with a smattering of alleged deities; using an image of circulating coinage to do so appears to be verboten. PacWalker 13:04, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
- So yes, I guess I "vandalised" your "article"... in order to drag it something resembling accord with the law. PacWalker 13:46, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
- My article mentions several religious deities. It also mentions coins. That does not mean it is associating the coins with a religious deity. I notice although I asked which specific deity you think it is that I specifically associated with that specific coin, you have not actually provided a responsive answer to my inquiry - You still haven't cited an example of a specific deity which you claim I specifically associated with the coin. Do you even know? Perhaps you didn't comprehend the material in the article. That's not a reason to vandalize. Refrain from this sort of mischief in the future if you cannot articulate a specific example of the rule you claim I broke - remember libel is illegal and actionable.LogicMaster777 (talk) 05:55, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
- Also, the Painting you deleted is a product of the Federal Government, which means it is automatically public domain. Please find a more productive activity than vandalizing my work such as perhaps educating yourself on the copyright laws.LogicMaster777 (talk) 06:05, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

But please do not vandalize the presentation of evidence to further your religious denialism and try to conduct yourself as a rational adult in the future. My theory is fully falsifiable so you are more than welcome to present whatever reasoned evidence you have to support a counter-theory and to do so from a rationalist pov using whatever facts and evidence you think support your counter-theory(if you think there are any).

[edit] Ban Everyone? Shit Yeah
Because, really, FCP taking what should have been a simple discussion in the bar and adding that and all of the clusterfucky bullshit and putting it in the coop and THEN voting and THEN decided votes should be invalidated and started over and THEN issuing a notification in the cocksucking bar to come to the motherfucking coop and revote and debate AGAIN is fucking bullshit annoyance. Thinking over it has pushed me into "I like to shoot people in the face." territory, because it's goddamn normal for me when I get irritated by asshat cockmonglers. If FCP had done that to a debate in my own house, I'd rip off his fucking arm, beat him to death with it, set him on fucking fire, and then resurrect him to put it all back to normal. WITH BURNED SKIN. Why? BECAUSE FUCKING BEERS, STEERS, AND QUEERS, that's why. Fucking Texas.

[edit] Apparently you DO understand the copyright laws
But products of the federal government such as the Lincoln Memorial are what is called "public domain". In other words, it's not copyright protected. So please try to find a better use of your time than trying to vandalize evidence simply because it causes cognitive dissonance with your religious beliefs. Sorry your irrational faith based belief system has no evidence and that must be rather uncomfortable for you, but please try to refrain from vandalizing my work because the evidence presented to support my falsifiable, evidence-based theory makes you uncomfortable and causes you cognitive dissonance. Thanks. If it makes your denialism easier, you don't have to read the article or try to understand it but don't let your lack of understanding lead you to vandalize the evidence.LogicMaster777 (talk) 06:24, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

- Military artifacts may be kept from the public domain by being treated something like trade secrets. There is also the difficulty of reproducing them with the means available to civilians. That said, makers of sewing machines and typewriters were pressed into manufacturing small-arms (rifles, carbines, and pistols) during the unpleasantness of the 1940s.
- If anyone wants to evaluate LM777's cluelessness, here is a data point, and the context in which it sits. Note well, the image shows a toddler about to stuff sand in his own mouth. As for condescension, this picture of Willy Wonka (hosted by thelibertycaucus.com) was offered in the same context, by the same logic abuser. MaillardFillmore (talk) 16:40, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

What I referenced with regard to circulating currency: http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/?action=circCoinPolicy For clarity, this image of the coin was used in arguing that the federal gov't is associated with some deity whose second coming was Lincoln, contrary to 2c of these policies.

Hi, PacWalker. I suggest you ease up on the contributions to the Viharo deletion page (and to his silly essay too, for that matter);
and all that jazz. I might add my vote to the keepers this weekend, but it seems that Viharo gets off on all his whining and persecution complexing, so I'll try to resist my urge to add snarky comments to his idiocy. ScepticWombat (talk) 10:50, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
