So...

You told me to not engage with [redacted], and I haven't. But I am consistently being pinged and attacked by [redacted]. Example: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Anarchism#Trim_the_article.

You can ask other editors to weigh in and see if the community will reach a consensus. It seems like some other editors were leaning your way in the first place, making a proposal for the article and calling for a vote is the best way to move this forward--Hastur! (talk) 05:26, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

"special"

In the context of the statement, it seems to be used as shorthand for "special needs", similar to how "retarded" is used as a pejorative. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 01:30, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

I don't really see the point in keeping such material around, given the apparent implications. However, there may be a compromise. Would you object to a collapse template over the disputed comment? ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 01:47, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

HBC, I have read. I have comprehended. Repeating yourself makes you look less a victor and more an ass. Further, I suspect that if in my next post I called you a slur or some such, that such a post would go over well with the community. Perhaps a moment of self reflection is in order? ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 01:56, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Yeah. Self-reflection looks like this:

1. Shit. I undid an edit that addressed my complaint.
2. Fuck. After that was reverted, I lobbied for a collapse template still completely oblivious to the fact my complaint had been addressed.
3. Damn. Then I had the gall to get pissy, threaten to say Mean Things, and then urge self-reflection in someone else.
4. My God. I'm a fucking embarrassment. I really need to sort my shit out.

Helena Bonham Carter (talk) 02:17, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

HBC, I really do think perhaps that you ought to actually read your own posts. After all, how does any of this... outburst.. actually challenge any of my points? You had said that I (and others) believed the BoN to be a Nazi, (which implies that you think I was calling them a Nazi, I was not) a charge which I denied. This was after you had initially come in guns blazing with [https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=RationalWiki:Saloon_bar&diff=prev&oldid=2198538 this gem which seems to have conflated Oxy with myself, and then proceeded to argue with me that... I said the idea of ignoring problems doesn't actually solve them, and in fact makes them worse? Which is true? I'm really not sure what your point was other than "argumentum ad dictonary" and "fuck you GC!". Do you wish to discuss this further? ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 02:42, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Elizabeth Warren - "false" vs "dubious" claims of Cherokee heritage.

Hey there. While you are correct in your revision to Elizabeth Warren's page that the term "dubious" is more accurate to address the result of her DNA test than "false", I would like to remind people that we are not using the word "DNA" in the section title. We are using the word "heritage", which takes on a vastly different meaning. The Cherokee Nation has stated that she does not have Cherokee heritage, and mentioned that it is personally harmful to them that she claimed that she does. I think that on that note, we here should take a sympathetic stance to them. Perhaps we should not turn the section header into "false claims of Native Heritage", as that could potentially be perceived as sympathetic to Trump's argument that she "has no Indian [sic] blood in her", though I believe we should change the word heritage so as to not seem like apologists for cultural appropriation. What do you think of this proposal? TheLeftIsIrrational (talk) 21:03, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

That seems reasonable. Trump long ago, when he was fighting Indian casinos, tried to smear Indian identity in general, and perhaps the Cherokees specifically, stating that they 'look white'. The Cherokees are somewhat unusual among US-based Indian tribes in that they have a lot of European ancestry. There are three different relevant concepts: genetics, tribal affiliation (legally-based for the most part), and heritage (cultural upbringing). People can have one or more of each of these. Warren has at most the first one. Bongolian (talk) 21:19, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough--Hastur! (talk) 21:53, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I still say "dubious" is misleading. Natives in the states today when recognizing membership of a tribe (sans the forms issues by the US government today, which most natives scoff at) don't look at blood quantum, they exist more as political groups. The other thing is that using a DNA test to measure one's involvement in a tribe is flat out ludicrous. It's like saying that the white great-great grandson of a Confederate plantation slaveowner, who has 3% black blood, is automatically black, let alone that being part Cherokee means nothing. You're either in it, or you're not. And then there's the issue that besides a generic DNA test which have shown many of their own issues today, there's nothing to show she actually is Native. Most of her ancestors were white.

sex binary, sex characteristics a spectrum

none of you ever answered the question. Why is that inaccuare please explain sex is defined by biologists as the type of gametes produced as your own article on the matter says https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Sex how is it wrong to say sex is binary, sex characteristics are a bimodal spectrum. sex isnt gender which is a spectrum. Also you saying gametes arent people is a logical fallacy that doesnt explain anything. ^{— Unsigned, by: 2600:6C64:607F:FFC9:8875:68A2:4B8A:FA25 / talk}

Very good. However, when Lehman says "sex" she is conflating "sex" and "gender". Thusly, she is wrong. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 18:28, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

I understand that feeling however while ultimatley not my choice even when talking about people using a fact to justify bigotry we should still stick to accurate information and go against the bigotry. that being gender is a spectrum, sex is binary, sex characteristics are a bimodal spectrum an Claire is wrong to conflate sex and gender--2600:6C64:607F:FFC9:8875:68A2:4B8A:FA25 (talk) 18:51, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

My edit on Hellstorm

Hello, I have noticed that you reverted my edit to Hellstorm, and asked (in your edit summary) the question "Why the distinction". My point is that German civilians did not deserve to be killed, even if they supported Hitler and the Nazi party because it is wrong to kill civilians, full stop. Kiko4564 (talk) 22:22, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Bra article needs more science, less dogma

Hi. I saw your reversion of my edits adding references to studies which support the bra-cancer link. You deleted them for my not talking about it first. It would be nice if you talked about it with me before you deleted, so I added my edits back. The version you prefer is one-sided about a controversial topic, giving no context to the issue. Dressed to Kill is not the only book about this topic, and the other titles mentioned in the article prior to my edits were also dismissed as pseudoscience. This dogmatic dismissal of this topic is reminiscent of other scientific breakthroughs, including the discovery of the tobacco-cancer link. And keep in mind that the bra-cancer link is not new, or pseudoscientific, and is supported by numerous studies, including a meta-analysis of 12 of those studies. If you have a specific issue with showing that there is research into this issue, please explain why. Otherwise, this approach to the topic is akin to censorship. Out-of-the-box (talk) 13:32, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

That's not how this works. We don't offer "both sides." This website has a clear mission, worldview, and epistemology. You want to start an alternative medicine wiki, you're welcome to do so. You need only cursory research to show that no serious medical group endorses the idea that bras cause cancer. In fact, they specifically refute the claim.[2][3]--Hastur!

@Flandres- they reverted me once and then ceased after I desysopped them. It was intended as a temporary measure. I didn't even call for putting GC in sysoprevoke or giving him any kind of rebuke. I merely wanted to bring the matter to the attention of the moderators and the community. Particularly since GC is in the habit of removing talk page material. And you know what? For the most part it looks like I achieved exactly what I set out to do. GC stopped edit warring over removing the post and the community and moderators made it clear that removing talk pages material is not something that should be done.

@LGM- You are welcome to call for a vote on permabanning me. But then you would forever miss out on all of my hilarious, sophisticated, and well thought out furry jokes.--Hastur! (talk) 20:33, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

US, China and Russia (+Japan)

Britain and France were also imperialist countries in the past, but they do not currently take imperial steps. But aren't those three countries taking imperial steps at this point?

Although there may be controversy over whether the three countries are imperialist in the classical sense, it is right to pursue unequal relations and hegemonism among the countries.

Japan is also calling for the revival of imperialism under the far-right regime. But not Britain or France.--BluePink (talk) 04:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Raven

Firstly, this is a private discussion, so all of you who are about to comment, don't. That includes you Oxy. Secondly, Hastur, I think you ought not to defend Raven. Especially given he was not given the greenlight to block anyone, something he refused to listen to. I think it's also worth pointing out his habit of trying to die on almost every single hill, and his inflexibility with users he didn't like. This is especially blatant on historical subjects, or on subjects which he disagreed with politically. Here in a few I'm going to upload screenshots of his behavior on Discord. And before anyone says "Discord drama should stay on Discord", bare in mind he was the one who decided to take a Coop discussion offwiki. Pre-empting another pivot, yes I am aware of Oxy's behavior and previous votes to discipline her. I think you should note how many times I've (not) gotten involved in those votes, especially recently. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 11:52, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Think twice before posting Discord comments here in full... there is a reason nobody has done this before. If you decide to continue anyway I reserve the right to delete as appropriate, or may encourage others to post rebutting material from other channels. Alternatively you can talk to Hastur on Discord and keep the drama off this wiki. — Dysk (contribs) 22:27, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Dysk. I'm going to only say this once as I explicitly said this was a private discussion. The Discord content is related to the Coop, and if you delete it you'll be out of bounds. Further, I think you should back the fuck off, given your reaction to Crow's previous Coop of Raven was to nuke a community server, something you were entrusted with the upkeep of for said community. This to me says you aren't able to put aside personal feelings and act in a professional manner should you or a friend not get your way, and honestly makes me concerned that you'll nuke the wiki should things not go the way you want. So, I'd seriously advise taking a break and backing off. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 23:06, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Fuck it, since it's apparently the only way to discuss a sensitive topic without everyone butting in (Despite being told off in advance), I'll take it to fucking Discord. So much for fucking transparency... ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 23:29, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

@Bongolian okay but just so we're clear, they admitted to being this same Kiko. They have a 9 year history of troublemaking on Wikipedia. Granted we try not to factor in off-wiki behavior but given that they've admitted to vandalizing this site and have a staggering nine years under their belt of trolling Wikipedia, I'd like to suggest that this person's behavior is not our problem and that we simply get rid of them--Hastur! (talk) 19:38, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

I figured this might be a particular circumstance but as you wish--Hastur! (talk) 20:05, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Actually my talk page access was revoked by Hastur, however I was soon unblocked, but put in the vandalbin by Bongolian. I admit to being Kiko4564 on WMF wikis, but I will correct Hastur and state that it's only been seven years since my last block on English Wikipedia, not nine. The first sockpuppet on the page you cited is not me, and was never proven to be the same person as me. If you really object to my presence on site Hastur, then may I suggest that you take it to the Chicken Coop. I think what Fowler was initially referring to was the vandalbin, but with the block still in place, which would have allowed me to edit my talk page, but only once every 30 minutes. This is known as the "vandal cage" by some editors. Another alternative would have been to remove my talk page access, but grant me email access, which is what I remember Hastur did. Kiko4564 (talk) 11:14, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for unblocking

Hey Hastur, I have sausage fingers and I think I accidentally vandalised GR's userpage. That's why he blocked.

I was considering going through every article to look for grammar and spelling mistakes and then fixing them, but if there is a better option, I could do that. ._. (talk) 19:31, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

What I would recommend doing is going here and possibly creating an article from the suggest list. Try starting in "Draft space." To start an article in draft space, type in [[Draft:<insert article name>]], click on it, and go ahead and create the page. Then, ideally, other editors will help you with it and when it's ready we can move it to the body of the wiki.

Dear Hastur. The edits relate to far right fascistic hatred in Argentina early 1960s. Which is why it is vital. And I edit it now to make this clear. As to languages, I appreciate it. BTW, I know some historic events, including Argentinian. Thanks.MariAnna (talk) 19:47, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Moderator Email Address

Hi, I had made a request for help in the moderator chat, and you had suggested I email moderators privately about resolving the problem. However, I don't know how to access any of the moderators email address. Any help or advice would be appreciated.--Nessundorma (talk) 18:16, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Add a moderator's user name at the end of this link and go there https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/ --Hastur! (talk) 18:37, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks!

Cheers!

Aye, thanks for blocking that BoN that edited my user page. I can't wait until I get the powers to block vandals. JusticeTheFoxGirl (talk) 05:29, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Trout for edit-warring... again

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Somebody just wants to let you know you did something silly.

For engaging in a counterproductive edit war with that one BoN. As I said in my reversion of the BoN on your behalf, both of you should instead just take it to the talkpage. No need to bicker and argue about who created/deleted which long lists and other such small things. --Goatspeed. _{Fossil evidence of my evolution}CircularRasoning^{Steal my ideas} 00:15, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Another trout

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Somebody just wants to let you know you did something silly.

For unbanning GR. After dramatically LANCBing, he suddenly came back, just to bash all our moderator candidates and vote "no" on all of LT's potential punishments in the ongoing Mob v. Conservapedians Coop case with no explanation why. --Goatspeed. _{Fossil evidence of my evolution}CircularRasoning^{Steal my ideas} 21:25, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

How about you fuck off?--Hastur! (talk) 05:29, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Second that trout. I enjoyed not having to deal with GR crap. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 21:48, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

This is for trying to kill the legendary trout!!!

Double-whammy for trying to kill our beloved little trout

Thanks

@Hastur, just wanted to say thanks for fixing the radical feminism page. It looks way better now. Twodots (talk) 18:29, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Deleting troll pages

How do I go about deleting the pages of trolls? I haven't a clue... Twodots (talk) 06:50, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

First make sure the page is patrolled (check the lower right corner of the page and hit "mark as patrolled." check the Fossil Record to ensure that all edits on the page are patrolled), then go in the upper right corner where it says "more." The vaporize option is the deletion option--Hastur! (talk) 06:53, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a ton. ^-^ Twodots (talk) 06:57, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

I can happily confirm that I know for sure how to do it. ^-^ Twodots (talk) 06:59, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Dumb move, my man

Your little attempt to ban yourself. Come on fucker - we ain't got beef no more so I'll tell ya straight. Get your shit together. Ace^{fuck the bozos} 16:59, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

An advertisement for Sirius's archivebot humble suggestion: Since your talkpage is getting really huge

You might wanna consider adding the following autoarchiver template to it:


{{User:Inferno Bot/config |archive = User talk:Hastur/Archive%(counter)d |algo = old(20d) |counter = 12 |maxarchivesize = 27K |search = yes |archiveheader = {{talk archive}} }}
