I probably don't care about what you do on other websites or in "real life.". I would prefer, however, that you not use this website to issue veiled threats about those activities. Thanks much. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 20:55, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Are you going to let a minor discussion about a misunderstood joke become the grounds for seriously annoying behaviour on your part? You know the rules about talk pages.

AgingHippie (talk) 00:51, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Can you please...[edit]
...stop removing random epigraphs and unproblematic jokes from articles? Nobody said the wiki should be humour-free. I made a specific objection to a specific joke that I and others thought was poorly written/woven in/executed. I don't know why you've decided to make the jump from "valuable contributor" to "edit-warring literalist pain-in-the-ass," but I really wish you would stop soon. Thanks. Peace.

Vandal bin.[edit]
I am very regretful that you have decided to continue removing good stuff, to edit-war over those removals, and to not participate in any discussion about this shift in your behavior here. When you've gotten over whatever it is that's leading you to do these things, and I hope it's soon, let us know. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 17:51, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I fail to see the problem with this. If I cut GamerGate down to about 5K and slant it to favor GamerGate, then I will have then furthered ConfusedLiberal's goals and obeyed Chrimony, Naqoyqatsi, and Parogar too.

- That or he wants someone to import wp:Template:Whale. WalkerWalkerWalker 19:27, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- This is not trolling; I am deadly serious. Every point I have attempted to make for months, from use of SPOV to cutting long articles to this or that or the other has been argued against. There have been no victories. Therefore, it is exceedingly unlikely that I will gain any victories. Therefore, what I posit must be incorrect, or it would be victorious. Therefore, everyone else is right. Therefore, being wrong, I should admit my wrongness and do what is correct.
- It is very simple. If I am wrong, they are right. Thus I should be doing the opposite of what I was doing, as that will be the right thing to do. I do not need to think about it. I do not need to introduce complexity where there is none. I just simply need to acquiesce to their wishes. It does not matter what my opinion is so long as the correct action is taken.
- Nothing really more to say. --Castaigne (talk) 19:36, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

- Whew, my false dilemma readings are going off the charts! 141.134.75.236 (talk) 19:42, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- It is only a false dilemma if you allow compromise. It is not my nature to compromise and I resent it heavily when I have to. I would rather lose completely and suffer any penalty, up to and including death, than compromise. So that makes it simple; there are my arguments and their arguments. I can continue to fight, or if I am tired of fighting, I can just obey or abandon completely.
- I am no longer interested in argument. I am not interested in abandoning. Therefore, with the options presented, what is left? And so it goes.
- To further better understanding: I am not saying "You can have tea or coffee." or "You don't want tea, therefore you must want coffee." I am saying "You will have tea or coffee." and not presenting an option for refusal. --Castaigne (talk) 20:09, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

However you try to rationalise it, you're being a dick. You're self-evidently not "being obedient to the will of the mobocracy" since all these stupid edits you've made have been reverted with no objections from anyone other than you.

- For the first time ever, Wikipedia says it best - how to make a point. Tielec01 (talk) 21:49, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Castaigne: Almost nobody wants a humorless RationalWiki.
You list "Smerdis, Tielec01, CorruptUser, ConfusedLiberal, Weaseloid, Raysenn, Nutty Roux, FCP". Yet Weaseloid has spoken out. Tielec01 has spoken out. Raysenn has spoken out. I've spoken out. And so have several others. When half of the supposed supporters (already a minute group) aren't, it's hard to call it consensus.
At most, these people just think much of / some of the humor on RW is ineffective -- hence why AgingHippie recently culled an obscure joke zhe didn't understand. But when humor is effective, almost nobody protests it.
I apologize about removing that joke from Chopra. I didn't, and don't, think it helps. That doesn't mean that all humor on RationalWiki is sanitization-worthy and unmissional.
Ultimately, this is not the way to make a point. Please go back to being the normal, stubborn, intelligent Castaigne, not the burn-with-fire anti-humor crusader. FuzzyCatTomato (talk/stalk) 23:15, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Banning[edit]
I formally protest this banning as unwarranted. I am engaging in missional editing in accordance with the will of the mobocracy. That people do not like getting what they have asked for over the past several months is Not My Problem. If one does not like getting what was requested, one should have been more precise in what they asked for. I am neither troll nor vandal; I am contributing to the furtherance of RationalWiki in its proper role as the repository for rebuttals of skeptics.

- I have nothing to do with any votes or whatnot. I have made no calls for them. And what's happening over there is None Of My Business. I am simply making the type of edits that I have obviously wrongly argued against for months.
- I truly don't understand all this. I gave up. I surrendered. Defeat was admitted. And now people are complaining that I should have fought on? That's nothing but foolishness.

- Dude, if RationalWiki teaches you anything, it's that people will always disagree on things, even among those who self-identify as rational (perhaps especially among the latter, even).

- Honestly? No. I would not be bored at all. I would be content.
- No, not happy. I do not do happy; even my wife says so. I do content. That and "mildly pleasant" are about as happy as I get.

- For what it's worth I think banning was probably a step too far here, vandal bin might have been a more proportionate response until Castaigne gets this out of their system. However, as I am not really around to revert I can't complain too hard.
- In the interests of having everything in one spot - FCP I totally get why you wanted to have the vote but I tend to agree with Miekal et al. that it is not necessary. The danger of having votes over petty shit like this is that you may not get engagement from the community which leads to a watered down consensus because most people can't be fucked voting, and also that you can get voting fatigue where people start to ignore votes because 90% of the time the topic being voted on doesn't interest them. It's pretty clear that Castaigne is on their own here, no vote is needed to demonstrate that. Tielec01 (talk) 22:49, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Enjoy being vandalbinned[edit]
I'm sure it feels nice to get what you want, through vandalism and anger. FuzzyCatPotato™ (talk/stalk) 19:48, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- NOW you fucking listen. Why do I have to resort to blanking pages to get a point across to you, huh? Is there something you're not willing to pay attention to? Are you contrary by nature or does it come by degrees? I shouldn't have to write whole paragraphs and engage in wasting the better part of my lunch hour in being what I think is quite crystal-clear about how I feel when people do things that I didn't ask them to do. It's really not that difficult. Did you think I wasn't being serious? In which case, I have to wonder if you've ever read my edits, because I'm never not serious in any way, shape, or form. I always mean what I say and do exactly what I mean.
- At least now you have the clue. JESUS.
- And in reference to your message, now you're going to cause me to waste an edit archiving that bullshit too. What you should realize is that it does not matter how a person gets what they've asked for - and not, I did not ASK for anything, just a refusal of your gift - all that matters is that they got it. The destination, not the road. The ends define the means.
- I mean, really. 43 minutes of my lunch hour. I have to resort to blanking pages to get your attention, to get the point through to you, to make clear what I'm saying. This is really unacceptable. I don't play around on here; why are you playing around with me?
- And do you realize how difficult this playing around with me makes it for me to do actual missional edits, after responding to the daily litany? I'm vandal-binned, that means an edit once every 30 minutes, and I got be Johnny-on-the-spot if I'm going to do what I need to do in the day. Which requires patience I do not necessarily have.
- I don't ask for much, I swear. I say, don't make me Sysop. People make me sysop anyway and then I have to ask and swear and finally rampage for removal. It's a matter of principles. I didn't ask for it, therefore it should not be given to me.
- Same for vandal-binning. I get vandal-binned because people didn't like how I interpreted their requests. Do I complain? NO. I take it like a fucking man, because you do not complain when people punish you for acting on your principles. Do I ask to be taken out? NO. That's a sign of weakness and I don't indulge in that either.
- And then you take me out. Did I ask you too? No. So what is it? Charity, another sign of weakness. I'm not some sick beggar at the church door, subsisting on the crusts and pennies the richards toss down with the sneer. I'm a self-sufficient adult with a goddamned job; I don't need charity. I don't even ask for presents on my birthday for Christ's sake (Actually, I don't even like acknowledging my birthday; it's useless. One year closer to death, oh joy.)
- And when I make it clear that no, I don't want your charity, fuck off with it, take it back? You make light. You make fucking light. I swear to God, it's like I'm Rodney Dangerfield or some comedian. Newsflash: I'm not funny. I don't joke. My idea of humor is pretty much limited to "morbid" humor, schadenfreude, "grave dancing", and more schadenfreude. When I say "I swear to God, if that puppy does not shut up I will kick it into the field goal.", you should not laugh and you should not be surprised if I do that. After all, I said what I was going to do!
- Now that might be an extreme but unrealistic example, but it seems that's what I have to do around here in order to get the point across. It's just not that hard; it's all very simple. --Castaigne (talk) 20:18, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

In confuses the heck out of me. Why are you deleting your conversational history? And why are you calling it archiving? I'm quite confused. ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 19:33, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- There are duplicate items on my talk page and my archive page. I'm eliminating the duplicates. People are reverting without actually looking to see what's going on, which has resulted in three separate explanations on three separate talk pages. --Castaigne (talk) 19:38, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

- We're either going for a neutral, neither pro-Zion or pro-Palestine, or we're going Mona's way. She brigades everything anyway; time to make a choice. Stop trying for an agreement or balance neither Avenger or Mona will ever do voluntarily. It's not going to happen and the only way to correct the situation is to force it. --Supreme Dalek (talk) 15:54, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- The current wording is pretty neutral IMHO... Carpetsmoker (talk) 15:56, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- No, it shows BLM as a pro-Palestinian allied group, mostly based on the conclusions of Breitbart and GotNews and other conservative tabloids. --Supreme Dalek (talk) 16:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

- You don't think this edit was a good one, favoring neither side, featuring no propaganda and keeping to the mission of the wiki? --Supreme Dalek (talk) 16:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Whether it's a "good" or "bad" edit is besides the point by now. You did your edit, at least 3 different users reverted it and said "don't do it", and you insist on making the same edit. If you feel this section needs a rewrite then discuss it on the talk page. Carpetsmoker (talk) 16:05, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- And it shows you don't know the history. It's not 3 different users. It's Mona & her cronies who objected to it. It's the exact same people who accept everything Mona says as gospel and who refuse to allow any deviation from her view. I see this as a problem, as do a few others. Currently we're slanted, due to Mona & Cronies, as "Palestine can do no wrong."
- Apparently, you do not think this is a problem. Very well. There's no reason to discuss it further, is there? --Supreme Dalek (talk) 16:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- That's just nonsense. As I've said on the talk page, I don't really see the need for this section, and if we must have it, it can indeed be shorter (as I doubt how wide-spread this sentiment is in BLM). So now we are clear on that, I don't think my opinion is somehow better than every other opinion on the site, or that my opinion is so superior that it trumps the consensus. This section is the result of much squabbling and arguing over details. If you feel it should be different, then carefully explain why on the talk page and perhaps people will agree with you. Taking it on yourself to turn the section around is not how to do things, and arguing "Mona and her cronies are ruining it!!11!" is just about the worst argument you can make and wants me to stop reading everything you say.
- So here you have it: with your abrasive and arrogant attitude you've managed to piss off someone who's pretty much on your side on this matter. Carpetsmoker (talk) 16:25, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
If you feel it should be different, then carefully explain why on the talk age and perhaps people will agree with you.
- Carpetsmoker- If I do that, then Mona and her four followers will just brigade it and deny it. That has happened on every page that Mona has edited, no matter what is said. I have no interest in engaging in futile argument with a block of 5 people.
So here you have it: with your abrasive and arrogant attitude you've managed to piss off someone who's pretty much on your side on this matter.
- Carpetsmoker- Then side with Mona. I don't need people who engage in tone argument on my side; I'd rather lose.
- Besides, I've already given up. Victory for Mona. --Supreme Dalek (talk) 16:35, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

- I've asked, on the talk page, if documentation exists of widespread ignorance or opposition to the BDS trend in BLM. [crickets] All the evidence is that Zionists themselves are disturbed by this trend, and not just on U.S. wingnut sites.

unicornsponies, but now you use their unverified claims about BLM as a proof, that BLM as 100% on BDS line?

- I have deemed you a concern troll. I understand that you have asserted that BLM is funded and allied at the hip with BDS/Palestine/Hamas/whatever. I am not going through weeks-long arguments where you, as you have repeatedly done, throw out any source that you do not personally approve of. We have nothing to discuss. Do not respond to me; I will not be talking to you or editing the pages that you own further. --Supreme Dalek (talk) 16:26, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Your talk page is not your own and you do not get to decide who gets to post on it, attempting to do so will very quickly get you marked as a vandal, as others who attempted this in the past have learned. Don't be a twat about this. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 17:01, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
