Why are you vandalizing my rationalist criticism of the article?
Do you seriously not understand the argument I made? Or do you just not personally agree with it? I think it is legible english. Did it have some big words that confused you?LogicMaster777 (talk) 21:39, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * TY TiaC for moving, should not be on user pageLogicMaster777 (talk) 21:50, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * LogicMaster(your insulting name is getting tiresome), I looked at many of your edits before reverting them and you say in several places "data not shown", so I'm confident you're hearing this for the first time. You also refuse to accept that going to church deters talk pollution. Do yourself a favor and admit that the half-life of Carbon-14 may have only been 100 years at the time of Christ. Unlike Wikipedia, which is plagued with liberal bias and gossip, Conservapedia is a true learning resource that enables students to excel. Thanks and Godspeed.--aschlafly 21:58, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

But seriously,

Hello, Bicycle
Hello, Bicycle Wheel.

For the past few weeks, I have been arguing for the inclusion of pro-life arguments on the abortion and/or pro-life page. However, I have faced unreasonable opposition, with others constantly destroying the content I generate. In particular, I have struggled to incorporate the "right to life" argument, the "numerical argument", and others onto either of these pages. I admit to faults in my conduct in my writing, and I aim to revise these. However, I am enmeshed in a perpetual war of revisionism--I generate missing content, and the "guardians" of the page immediately excise my content. I never touch their content--I just contribute that which is missing. I have plans to clarify this content and resubmit it--so I am not expecting you to find the current content acceptable--it can be improved. I just need someone to arbitrate what is a clear case of the majority marginalizing the minority. If you could please speak up, go to the bottom of the abortion talk page, and determine whether the behavior you find is acceptable of unacceptable, I would deeply appreciate it. I am becoming sick from irrational rationalists. I do not feel well, and I feel unjustly persecuted. You can be the judge.

Thank you.

Election debates
Loved your summary of the debates. I tuned in for precisely fifteen seconds, and it struck me that the host lady looked a lot like Ann Robinson and the whole thing looked just like The Weakest Link. Did you get that vibe too? Pascal yuiop (talk) 20:18, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Coop archive
I may have broken it. RationalWiki:Chicken_coop/Archive_list doesn't show archive 37. If you're still here, can you offer help or advice? Cheers, Alec Sanderson (talk) 15:56, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It does now. It just had to take a while to work through RW's...interesting...caching system. Bicycle  wheel silverbrain.png 16:04, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Ah! We have camembert, yes, sir.
 * You do! Excellent.
 * Yes, sir. It's... a bit runny.
 * Not me. I never said any such thing. Tuppy Glossop (talk) 19:34, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Duplication
Will you PLEASE actually look at what I'm removing? What is in the archive DUPLICATES what is on my talk page. There is no need for duplication. --Castaigne (talk) 19:14, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, Ok. I was looking for an explanation in the edit comment and didn't see one, so I assumed shenanigans. My bad. Bicycle  wheel silverbrain.png 19:16, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Corrections
When asked to fix numerous simple errors, the editor in question replied that he/she didn't care, because their making mistakes and leaving them behind "created work for wikignomes." If you want to pick up after someone like that, be my guest. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 18:21, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It's easy to pop in and say it's not a big deal for a single edit...when people who have been correcting these issues over the course of a few days are frustrated doing it so many times. Even when yesterday the BoN racked up over 100 edits.  -EmeraldCityWanderer (talk) 18:28, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * How about raising the issue with the contributor in question. And aren't you making the style over substance fallacy? 141.30.210.129 (talk) 17:06, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

To make it REALLY secret...

Navboxen
They're indented to show subcategories, and the colors are matched to the navsidebars. While I'd gladly support color changing, having diff color nav templates on a page for one subject is gross. 23:41, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Being able to and knowing how to are very different things. In theory I can run a nuclear power plant, anybody can, but that doesn't mean I actually know how to do so. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 00:22, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You are a moderator and since Bicycle can send site wide urgent messages on the intercom I suspect that's all that's required (considering I can send other types, but not site wide urgent being only a sysop). &#60;-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-&#62; (talk) 00:27, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

How is it a keep?
All the votes except one for RationalWiki:Articles for deletion/Transitioning neckbeard were for deletion? Carpetsmoker (talk) 08:43, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Why?
I don't understand why you did that. Is something wrong? 18:10, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I am tired and pissed off and not in the mood to play stupid games with juvenile dickheads. Bicycle  wheel silverbrain.png 18:11, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay. I'm sorry. You suddenly blocked me out of nowhere and, with the all-capital letters, I thought you were joking around. Simply leaving me a message that you were upset about something would have been enough. What you did just confused me and made me feel sad, and I still don't understand what happened. 18:17, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * What happened was I came home tired and pissed off, and I was trying to re-insert a thread to the saloon bar. You edit-conflicted me three times by piss-arsing about, and when I blocked you for five minutes so I could finish what I was doing, you counter-blocked me for a ludicrous length of time. That's what happened. Bicycle  wheel silverbrain.png 18:27, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

History
I'm taking my time trying to add more stuff to the RWhistory, since you've made an edit there I will now pounce on you to solicit further help. You where around back then (2011) I wasn't. I'm sifting through various pages looking for a concerted explanation or narrative on what exactly the big crisis was that the user group rights changes were meant to fix. I have the general idea, but was there some specific impetus behind all the fuss? (and can you link me to it?)SolPyre (talk) 23:33, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * well it was kind of AAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAA nope, sorry, still too soon. Bicycle  wheel Toxic mowse.gif 17:38, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Nvm I found it. And nothing can stop me now! SolPyre (talk) 23:43, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Referencespace and Atticspace
Would referencespace be the stuff in Category:Reference pages? I'd like that a lot, actually.

Atticspace, tho? 20:28, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Referencespace - yes, those, plus plain encyclopedic science and maths articles such as things in Category:Outline. Atticspace would have been for stuff that was off-mission, non-fun, but kept for sentimental value (or sometimes to stop one user having a colossal drama fit because we didn't like his article). Bicycle  wheel Toxic mowse.gif 20:35, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hehe. I like that. Perhaps "draftspace", to give it a more general use -- somewhere we can shove articles that aren't ready and aren't funny? 20:51, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Draft articles normally start in userspace. And on a wiki, aren't all articles "drafts" in a way, ie unfinished? Bicycle  wheel Toxic mowse.gif 20:52, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Tru. Atticspace feels quirky in a RW way, too. Would proposing at Saloon Bar do anything? 21:04, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It didn't the last couple of times, but who knows, maybe the new generation will decide in favour. Bicycle  wheel Toxic mowse.gif 21:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

False accusation
You claimed that I "[o]uted a trans user by posting an email here."

http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=RationalWiki:Moderator_elections/Campaigning&diff=prev&oldid=1597079

You owe me a retraction and an apology.

 ħ uman  20:16, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I doubt Bicycle Wheel has suddenly changed their mind about the claim in question (unless they're planning on backpedaling (which would be puntastic)). Before demanding retractions and/or apologies, I think it's apt to figure out what this is even about. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 20:29, 30 December 42015 AQD (UTC)
 * It's most likely about an incident in January 2012. You can find remnants of it in the Saloon Bar archives & Human's user talk pages archives from that time, but dredging it up it four years later doesn't seem to me like a worthwhile exercise.  20:51, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, 142.x.x.x, but when making claims evidence should be presented. Since it is about me, I'll decide when to make demands.  ħ uman [[Image:human sig talk.gif|link=User talk:Human|User talk:Human]] 20:54, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking at the relevant archive of your talkpage, it does seem you posted another user's mail in which they admitted, among other things, to being trans (the specific words used were "gender dysphoric"). I have no idea at all whether or not that information was already readily available on the wiki or not, so I don't know whether they were effectively outed as trans or not. I very much doubt their mild autism and scoliosis, mentioned in the same mail, was known about, however. I wonder if those bits shouldn't be revdelled. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 21:42, 30 December 42015 AQD (UTC)
 * Thanks, I couldn't find it before (I was looking May 2011). yes, that's what I meant. Bicycle  wheel Toxic mowse.gif 22:10, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Now looking at this, it's clear the user in question was very much opposed to any sharing of said information and in fact deleted it from the talkpage, which in turn was met with accusations of power abuse. Much of the discussion seems to be about whether Human was within his rights to publicize the email in question, but this is irrelevant in regards to whether the wiki should enable and support the latter in his actions. Again, I call for revdelling. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 22:12, 30 December 42015 AQD (UTC)
 * Where I come from on these here Intertoobz, one does not publish emails sent by a private person. If I got one from a public person, unsolicited, I'd feel free to publish that unless they asked for "off the record" first. But a person-to-person email? I'm tempted to say never, but let's leave it at: can't think of hardly any justified circumstances. One should not even share enough of what one learned that could identify the person sending it -- absent their permission. At any rate, folks can assume that's how I roll on the issue.---Mona- (talk) 22:27, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * This is absurd. Firstly, this is a guess to the incident since Bicycle has yet to come back and explain if this or something else was the issue.  Human has gone through the incident, related discussions, and any punishments for this almost 4 years ago to the satisfaction of the admins/mods at the time.  Bicycle started as a user within 60 days of the issue and never brought the issue up till now 4 years later.  Am I missing something or is does this seem insane?  It's not like we re-open chicken Coops or other issues years after to re-hash the decisions then.  -EmeraldCityWanderer (talk) 22:56, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure how mentioning "hey this moderator candidate did bad thing X so maybe he's not that trustworthy" is equivalent to proposing to reopen old coop cases. Also, Bicycle Wheels affirms a tidbit higher up that this is indeed the incident she meant. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 23:01, 30 December 42015 AQD (UTC)
 * Bicycle Wheels feels this is information relevant to human's candidacy for mod. She raised it in that specific context.---Mona- (talk) 23:13, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, line itemed to make it easier to read:
 * Ah, 100% correct...it's been awhile since I had refreshed the page since I find the drama llama stuff pretty distastful.
 * Yep, we don't rehash more serious coop cases after this long...so I don't see why this is. It's not like either hasn't been here for many years, and I believe Human has been mod before (correct me if I am wrong I got this from Nutty), so the point was to rehash this now seems bizarre.  One deed 4 years ago and a person is tainted goods seems pretty harsh.
 * I don't think someone should publish personal info. Though this site does publish personal emails between users when it pertains to RW business (including elections).  Ace and Trent have done so as well, that even has been posted in a number of article contents.  Emailing strangers personal information, including confidential medical information, doesn't make much sense for someone to keep it quiet.  Don't let the person you send it to have to make a decision as to how private or public the information should be, especially as many in RW have thought that the operations of RW should be as open and transparent as possible.  -EmeraldCityWanderer (talk) 00:01, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

So I have been digging through my talk page archives and can't find it. It doesn't help that none of you seem to be capable of copying and pasting links.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Human/Archive30#Cartoon.

Seems to have January 2011 covered. Or am I flailing about looking at the wrong archives? And why should I be looking for the "evidence", exactly, if no one else can be bothered to actually present it?  ħ uman  22:11, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

January 2012 then? ...  ħ uman  22:13, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's January 2012, in your most recent archive. The reason I'm not linking it is because it contains information about a user that I think shouldn't be public. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 22:14, 31 December 42015 AQD (UTC)

Ah I see now. Yes, Blue was dragging threats and RW business to pmail and I saw no reason for it to be hidden.

The email in question was sent to me after I had replied "Put that on my talkpage if you think it useful. I prefer to work in public, when dealing with strangers."  ħ uman  22:18, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, that totally absolves you of any wrongdoing, but it'd still be really nice if you redacted the personal information from the email in question. Not even sure why you'd be intent on including it since it's peripheral at best to the OMG-look-how-unpolite-Blue-is-being point you were trying to make. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 18:31, 3 January 42016 AQD (UTC)
