Chomsky is probably a moonbat and, given the U.S. political spectrum, possibly even an extreme moonbat, but not because of genocide denial
Hi Arisboch, I noticed you added Noam Chomsky to the extreme moonbattery category, and considered reverting it. I decided against it because Chomsky is very left wing in the context of U.S. politics, but he's not a genocide denialist: Chomsky doesn't deny that the massacres in Bosnia were real, or their scope. He does, however, object to rhetorically placing these atrocities on a par with the Holocaust by calling them genocide. I personally think Chomsky is wrong and that his profession as a linguist blinds him to the judicial definition of and aspects involved employing the term genocide. However, calling him a genocide denialist is simply missing the point of his objections. ScepticWombat (talk) 17:04, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Refusing to call these massacres genocide is not much different from genocide denial, it's genocide minimization, using the Shoa victims to minimize other massacres. That's the "Not as bad as" fallacy right here!--Arisboch (talk) 17:11, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Apparently Chomsky sees nothing wrong with genocide as long as it isn't being committed by the USA. He defended the Khmer Rouge till the end. I once coined the term Fischer syndrome after Bobby Fischer: An American Jew who has a seething hatred towards Americans, Jews in general and the state of Israel in particular. And yet he lives luxuriously thanks to being an American and being able to command exorbitant fees for his political rants. Just read and you'll be the judge of the man. His linguistics are mostly nonsense. From what I've "learned" from Chomskyist teachers, it's a cult, not science. They're impervious to any arguments - this is written having had a couple of courses taught by his disciples. You point out, that there has to be a workable concept of a limit in order for infinite sentences to work. This is met with a blank stare. Another characteristic is that even the most hotly debated issues in Chomskyism are put forward as absolute truth without mentioning that the subject is - well, hotly debated. One professor told me without blushing that he understood his responsibility as a teacher to put forward his opinions, end of story. He proudly said in the same conversation to silence me, that he had been deemed capable of being tenured by scientists. He left out that this panel of judges were his coreligionists to a man.

 * Not completely useless. Computer programmers use some of his contributions to syntax, or something; I'm not a programmer. CorruptUser (talk) 02:35, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Also he's credited with kicking off the current dominant paradigm of thought in Psychology, not that anything useful has come out of that field. It's laughable that you think he is committing a not as bad as fallacy; did it ever occur to you that if you think you can rebut a man like Noam Chomsky in four words, you might be the idiot?

 * Chomsky's first book (if I recall correctly) filled a vacancy for computer scientists, that's true. I suspect they would have found out anyway. As for linguistics, he's managed to delay progress in the fields for decades. And for once that is not just my opinion - most linguistics who haven't been brainwashed share it. You'll mostly find these in some variety of historical linguistics. Sorte Slyngel (talk) 18:23, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Just to mention a useful source regarding Chomsky, The Anti-Chomsky Reader is accessible somewhere on the net. The title is of course provocative, but it honestly tells you what to expect. The articles in the book are well researched and it is a very useful antidote if you've heard Chomsky's praises sung too often - and usually without justification. Go, seek, find! It's a good read and much clearer than what Chomsky-zombies come up with. Cheers Sorte Slyngel (talk) 23:11, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

@Sorte Slyngel: Let's not belittle Chomsky's contributions to computer science. The Chomsky hierarchy was an important contribution to the theory of programming languages, string recognition, and related problems. Saying that "I suspect they would have found out anyway" is like saying "if Newton hadn't discovered the law of gravitation, someone else would have". It's rather trivially true, but also unnecessarily belittling his historical contributions. Blacke (talk) 01:05, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

 * As I've already pointed out, I think that Chomsky's sophistry is a crap argument for not calling the Armenian Genocide, well, a genocide, since it clearly fits the generally accepted legal definitions and I don't buy the "watering down of the Holocaust"-logic behind not doing so. I simply disagree that this rhetorical tomfoolery constitutes genocide denial. When it comes to Khmer Rouge Cambodia, there's a problem in that while that scale certainly fits (or even exceeds, especially "victims per capita") other examples, the victims were not chosen on the basis of the criteria cited by the legal definitions of genocide, but instead due to their socio-economic status.
 * I'm not even a fan of Chomsky's knee-jerk "blame the West/U.S."-arguments, but I think that's all the more reason not to unfairly straw man him as a genocide denialist based on an extremely broad definition of the term, let alone use this as a case for lumping Chomsky in with the (other?) extreme moonbats on RW. I think that there may actually be good reasons to put Chomsky in this category (e.g. the tendency to blame "evulz U.S." for every ill in the world), but then why use the rather problematic allegation of genocide denial?

In fact
I believe that you missed the point of my recent edit at Adolph Hitler. I did not doubt that the sentence in the article in which it appeared was true, I objected to adding "In fact" (which besides being one of the 27 words and phrases that mean "in my opinion") because it is. . . .. redundant. everything in the article, barring few snarky asides, is supposed to be a fact. So now I am tempted to go and add "In fact" at the beginning of every paragraph in the article, and in fact, in the whole rationalwioi. Seem like a good idea?

 * Well as someone who speaks German (as you have by now guessed already) let me say this: The nationality plate of Switzerland may say "CH" for different reasons, but Swiss German uses the sound these letter represent (in German at least) all over the place. The problem is that the sound exists in no major dialect of English (though some Scots use it at the end of the word loch), so it is difficult to explain the concept in English. Anyhoo, the point is "wer chat's erfundn? - Die Schweizr!". And another thing about Switzerland: It is a surprisingly racist and xenophobic country...

Power plus prejudice
I think I see the problem: you think that the power+prejudice theory asserts dis-empowered people can't be prejudiced. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of the theory. It alleges that large-scale social harm comes from combining prejudice with power. It doesn't even assert that minorities never have power, just that structually, there's often an entrenched power structure supporting one particular prejudice above others, which is why some racism is more problematic than other racism.

 * Anita Sarkeesian is a leading academic who actively endorses and defines the meaning of the p+p equation. Her starting choice of words was "[Form of discrimination] against ["type of" human beings with X between their legs] doesn't exist". To say "doesn't exist" is not a meek choice of words. She's disqualifying that entire notion to the absolute farthest reach you could ever do so. How is that not robbing a large amount of people of their stories? How is it that there can be no exceptions to this rule? How is it that people who instead have Y between their legs are thus also shuffled to the victim side? The entire charm of this equation is that it's so very comfortable and neat. The world becomes bad guys vs good guys. It's appaling, and it's a joke. And "true or not", it becomes impossible for anyone to seriously argue for any type of equality (as apart from gender-, race- or other war) while subscribing to this theory as applied in academia.

I must say I also underscored her a little extra in anticipation of the regular backlash one gets when questioning her statements, where a tall tirade is launched on the accusatory grounds that my criticism instead were to stem from an unwillingness to admit her supposed weight in the field or something. Considering something like the opposite happened, I suppose my emphasis became overweight on one side. Oh well, I hope you all get my point regardless - a point which is in agreement with Arisboch.

Boycott Saudi Arabia
I have an idea for a new "movement". It is in essence for a call to boycott Saudi Arabia until they end their current policy of support for terrorism and stop executing people for being gay and other stuff (listing it all would be too long, but I thing you get the gist of it). The boycott is rather simple: Just don't drive. If you have to drive, try using an electric car. If you find another product that has been manufactured by Saudi Arabia or might conceivably profit their regime, don't buy it. But I guess there won't be too much need for that. Boycott Saudi Arabia (preliminary abbreviation BSA) does not endorse more thaen five minutes of research as to whether a given non-oil product comes from Saudi Arabia. Small quantities of bicycle oil or oil for other mechanic appliances should preferably be replaced with bio-fuels but may be considered exempt in a pinch. What do you think? Should I start asking for donations? Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 21:46, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Zionism has been sysop locked
Presumably to lock me out from the transformation of a sub-par article on an issue only tangentially relevant to our mission statement into a Hamas hatchet piece worthy of one Mona Holland, former lawyer of some place (all these things have been publicly stated by the user in question)...

Shouldn't have done it, Arisboch. By now you should have figured out that I have facts to support all of my claims. But you again (foolishly) called me out, which only creates yet another opportunity for me to share unpleasant reality about Israel -- in this case its proto-fascism. Here's Israel Prize laureate and renowned scholar Zeev Sternhell, who told Haaretz: "What needs to be examined in this context is the resilience of the democracy – and Israeli democracy has become increasingly eroded, until it reached a new nadir in the current [2014 slaughter in Gaza] war. The indicators [of fascism] you asked about definitely exist here.” He continues:

The government will continue to rule, resting on the Knesset majority by force of edicts and creation of clear segregation between Jews and non-Jews, imposing censorship, intimidating dissidents, the media, the universities – all supposedly autonomous bodies....it could reach a boiling point. The water is already very hot. It hasn’t yet boiled, but it could do so tomorrow morning. It’s on the brink of boiling over.”

“I have remained a Zionist, certainly. Maybe foolishly. The aim of Zionism was to create a safe home for the Jews, but for many years we have been living in the most unsafe place in the world for Jews. Zionism aimed to build a safe home for the Jews. But also a home worthy of the name, a decent home that one can be proud of, a home in which you don’t step on anyone’s back or suppress anyone. Already in the 1920s it was understood that the Arabs don’t want us and that the fulfillment of Zionism cannot be dependent on their good will. We arrived at a state of war, we won the war and that was the end of that chapter and the start of a new one.

“To go on with it for decades after the state’s establishment is the ruination of Zionism. What’s happening now in the territories is not Zionism, it’s a nightmare of Zionism. If the result is one state here, between the sea and the Jordan River, there will either be a devastating civil war or an apartheid state. In both cases, the Zionist state as I understand it and as I want it, will not exist. There will be something else here. My consolation is that I will not be around to see it.”

There's much, much more documentation of fascism in Israel. (Just ask if you'd like to see it.) And Arisboch, all this knowledge I have? Nothing you can do will stop me from documenting it in appropriate RW articles. I didn't come here initially to do that, but having been introduced to people calling me a cunt, an antisemite, questioning my character (waving at Fedora) and vandalizing my good faith edits, well, I've taken on a whole new mission. You would have been better off suffering my informed edits just a bit and I would have pretty quickly wanted to move on to the woo-woo piece I actually arrived here to draft. But now I feel challenged to show you that your thuggish bullshit will not be allowed to prevail. And I'm going to do just that.---Mona- (talk) 17:42, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Did you read through at all the two paragraphs I rewrote? I haven't even touched the other paragraphs yet criticizing the formula, and you seem to think I'm rewriting the criticism away.


 * The phrase "Prejudice plus power" is an attempted reformulation of the different types of oppression (e.g. racism[1][2], sexism[3]) into terms of art that can be expressed in a pseudo-mathematical way. However, outside of academia these redefinitions have not gained much mainstream currency.
 * The traditional description of these types of oppression usually refers to interpersonal bigotry or oppression and is "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism with respect to [social construct]". For example, "racism" is usually defined as "prejudice, discrimination or antagonism with respect to race". Since these are emotionally charged terms dressed up in pseudo-mathematical language, people outside of academia usually treat these redefinitions as abuse of language used to deny or excuse prejudice committed by members of underprivileged classes against members of privileged classes.

 * Bronies have produced Rule 34 artwork at a volume unprecedented by other fandoms. They also produced a joke name for a character with crossed eyes based off of a joke at mentally disabled people's expense and were outraged when other people didn't like the joke and that resulted in the show editing the character so it wasn't as offensive.

 * I know. It wasn't consensus that got him his mop back, it was Paravant, after an 11/7 vote in the coop, which fell far short of consensus, IMO. The "quorum" included some sketchy participants, for one thing. According to the other wiki, consensus takes into account the validity of the various arguments presented.

Ich habe versprochen Avenger freizusetzen, wenn er verspricht, daß er abkühlen wird. Aber wie - technisch - entbinne ich ihn? Prost Sorte Slyngel (talk) 22:34, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Das ist ganz einfach: Geh zu den Logs, wähle den Vandal-Log aus und gib den Benutzernamen von Avenger ein, und klicke auf den "parole"-Link neben dem Log-Eintrag.--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 06:45, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Besten Dank. Jetzt muß ich nur noch sehen, ob unser Freund sich vertraut mir sein Wort zu geben. Alles Gute Sorte Slyngel (talk) 16:24, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Es kann aber auch sein, dass er entweder beschäftigt ist oder aber etwas Abstand von der RW nehmen will.--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 16:51, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Wie dem auch sei, dann glaube ich, daß er einem Freund sein Wort nicht geben wird um das sofort zu brechen. Ein Versprechen an mich oder Dich ist - wenigstens würde ich das so an seiner Stelle empfinden - eine ganz andere Sache als ein generelles Jain an die Horde.

Formatting copy editing help
Hi.

Given that you know how to use this newfangled Personal Computer stuff, could I ask for your help on the article on the Hyperloop in making it look decent? On a somewhat related note, I vow to keep my promise, but edits like these make it not entirely clear to me as to where I can opine, given the topic seems to spread...

Best wishes, I'll be on the road for now and driving home for Christmas (well someone is doing the driving, not me) tomorrow, so I don't know when we'll talk again. If it ain't before the end of this year I say "Frohes Fest und guten Rutsch!" - Oh I almost forgot, what exactly do you celebrate? Christmas? Chanuka? Both? Neither? Anyway, have a good December and a nice Jahresendflpügelpuppe ;-) Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 17:08, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and happy holidays to you, too. Chanukka is over already and I see what I'll do on New Years Eve. As for the Hyperloop article, it looks more or less OK already, but I think, I can tweak it a lil (e.g. the notes section).--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 17:58, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Avengerofthe BoN
So, here's the deal, I've not had much exposure to your buddy Avenger (I've avoided anything to do with the Israel-Palestine fuckfest). However, -Mona- has strong objections to anybody letting Avenger out of the vandal bin. I looked into the objections, and they seemed like valid reasons to keep them in the vandal bin. However, I am willing to allow Avenger (and you by extension) to offer a defense; a good case as to why my letting them out of the vandal bin will result in them being a constructive editor and won't have me eating crow and the Wiki spinning into another Headless Chicken Mode. So, what are the reasons I should remove Avenger from the bin (and if you don't mind, please avoid turning this into an insult war with Mona)? Gooniepunk (talk) 10:21, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * A coupla weeks (or months, I dunno) topic ban on anything related to Israel, Palestine, Antisemitism and so on and (probably) a ban on communication with Mona (if she violates, she has to be sanctioned, too or else it's gonna be one-sided).--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 10:54, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm working on drafting a formal proposal here, and will submit it to Mona and AotB when I'm done. If both parties will agree to it, then I will let AotB out of the vandal bin, under the knowledge that I will be keeping a closer eye on them for a time. Gooniepunk (talk) 21:55, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Pfft. I very seldom engage Avenger. For quite a while I've been 90% ignoring him. But, I respond to others regarding things he's said when I deem it useful to other readers. I have not misbehaved with him and do not need to be barred from anything because Arisboch, of all people, seeks some "parity." Arisboch is no longer acceptable to me, even less so than Avenger. He should know why.---Mona- (talk) 22:03, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You saw her answer, Gooniepunk, so let's see, what Avenger says. When Mona's gonna bin him again, we'll simply take it to the Coop. Mona, the RW ain't your personal little BDS echo-chamber. If you wanna ban people due to them failing to be on line with your Hamas and Greenwald worship, go back to Twitter.--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 22:24, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Arisboch, this is the last time I shall ever communicate with you. I have said here, several times, that it is rather common for ardent Zionists to behave without human decency. Previously, my first exhibit was the person who announced the hope that I was ill and that my children had taken out a Do Not Resuscitate order. You are now in first place. Your behavior is vile. Adieu.---Mona- (talk) 23:07, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Stating that you worship at the altar of Palestine and Greenwald is worse than hoping you die? That is being touchy. --Castaigne2 (talk) 23:29, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The over-arching theme is that Mona has made substantive edits to mainspace, and sourced her contributions when appropriate. Avenger and Arisboch have had little to offer except dick-wagging and snide personal attacks. Alec Sanderson (talk) 23:43, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, well... Let's just say that recent events and moderator discussions have caused to to rescind the olive branch extended to Avenger. That's all the more detail I want to go into right now, but Arisboch knows or should know damn well why. Gooniepunk (talk) 23:50, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Castaigne2, there are matters involved I shall not be discussing here.---Mona- (talk) 23:58, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * And there is no need to. I have been made aware of various threads in other places. Your animosity towards Arisboch is on those matters is...not unfounded.
 * Oooo, and a permablock is now issued. Sassy. --Castaigne2 (talk) 00:04, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

I don't carry much weight, but I have said I'd take Avenger's case to the coop in January. Is there anything preventing me from doing that? I will have to present whatever I say without anger or malice, but I can manage that. The question is, will that hearing be conducted coolly or just thrown out? I hardly believe the latter and in any case the new moderators should have been elected, so we have more heads. I have a feeling there won't be many to argue that case in Avenger's favor, and for me it would require some historical study of Avenger's contributions. He writes so much that it is impossible to keep count without making it a serious study, but many users write a lot, good and bad. As I'm still a „citizen“ here for lack of a better word, I believe I would get a fair hearing. So, Gooniepunk and possibly other moderators who read this, is that just an exercise in futility or can we have a discussion about Avenger's „permablock“ as it was called above. I at least have the right to speak, I think, provided it's level-headed and to the point. Cheers Sorte Slyngel (talk) 01:59, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Ryu also has made many good edits. But his liabilities very much outweighed his status as an asset, so he's binned. Ditto for Avenger.---Mona- (talk) 02:12, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You are free to argue on Avenger's behalf come January. I don't have much skin in that game and would really like to see a community-based decision, rather than an unfamiliar moderator-based decision, come from that one. Gooniepunk (talk) 02:16, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
