Oh my... another CP sysop among us? Or just an impersonator? --Sid 20:53, 25 January 2008 (EST)

No I'm real. If i were going to impersonate another sysop it would have been Schlafly or ed poor. --BenjaminS 20:56, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Well, Ed is already here, so that would've been somewhat obvious... ;) But don't worry, we won't ban you just because you're conservative or a CP sysop. On the contrary, actually. It's nice to have some people here! Most of us are banned on CP, so communicating usually happens indirectly through WIGO (since several CP users and sysops monitor that page - even though nobody ever really admits it). And while that works kinda well, it's not exactly the most comfortable way, especially since it's just one-way communication. Having people from CP actually replying is quite refreshing, so I hope you'll stick around :) --Sid 21:03, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Well if you make a sock on CP I won't block you till you do something bad. just try to keep more than 10% of your edits productive because even though I think Andy's 10/90 rule (commandment 7) is stupid, you might get blocked w/out doing anything bad. (but not by me) --BenjaminS 21:11, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Well, it's nice to know that we're not the only ones who think that 90/10 is silly. :) And Andy/Kara/whoever don't care if you got 10% or more good edits. They either make up numbers or claim that "10 out of your last 13 edits were talk, so stop pwning me on talk pages and get to work, slave!" or something like that. 90/10 is simply a nice tool some sysops use to cut off discussion. Most of the time, it's really just used to silence people who're making good/uncomfortable points.

Oh well, I see you're leaving again? A pity, it would've been nice to have a sort of ambassador here. But I hope you at least lurk a bit. We're not as horrible as The Ten make you believe. --Sid 21:17, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Careful, we have spies everywhere. ^{— Unsigned, by: 99.44.100.03 / talk / contribs}

I might be around occasionally, but I don't think i could be much of an ambassador anyway-- i'm on andy's side after all. --BenjaminS 21:23, 25 January 2008 (EST)

And just because I thought Tk was a bit of a pushy jerk and that BillOriellyFan's logo was the funniest prank in the history of CP doesn't mean I sympathize w/ most of this site. --BenjaminS 21:25, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Uh, you picked exactly the two things we had precious little to do with. TK wasn't exactly everybody's greatest buddy here either (to put it mildly), and from what I know, nobody here knows who the dude with the awesome logo was. (Edit to add: But I appreciate that you got a sense of humor :D Also, I'm not 100% certain I interpreted your comment correctly, so correct me if I jumped to the wrong conclusion.) --Sid 21:31, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Debate:Bigotry towards Christians

Should we move this to a Debate page to avoid cluttering BS' talk page?

It is done. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 07:50, 15 December 2008 (EST)
