Good having you around[edit]
Since this site is not explicitly "liberal", it's great having a strong internal voice from your perspective. I hope you never feel "ganged up" on, since it's likely happened a few times. ħuman 08:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

- I have not as yet had to use them, except for a test run. As to those people called "liberals" today, my differences with them more concern ways and means than ideals. ListenerXTalkerX 22:35, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- That's a very interesting response, and one I would expect from an intelligent conservative. I only wish there were a greater intelligent conservative voice today in American politics. "Arguing" with the likes of Sarah Palin hones no blades, and improves no discourse. Arguing with the likes of you, however, I like to think, hope to think, does. ħuman 01:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Check the recent changes page. Some guy called User:Tmtoulouse wanks off dogs has signed up and I blocked him for an hour for a stupid username. What's the next step for a wandal like that who actually has an account? SJ Debaser 19:05, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Any word[edit]
Hello Listener. Any word from your friends, or have they just decided to curse us anyway?--BobNot Jim 09:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- The notice is still pending approval on the site. ListenerXTalkerX 14:34, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- OK. Thanks. :-)--BobNot Jim 18:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Is this the cursing thing? I'd be very much interested to hear the response and perhaps work out with them a way to test it that's satisfactory for both parties, as I don't think this "specific and improbable" thing will work at all, at best it'll generate data that'll be too open to subjective interpretation to be useful and at worst it'll be met with outright rejection and accusations of trying some (non-magical) trickery. postate 18:29, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, Listener was going to post there. The "specific and improbable" is what I think we should go for. I'm sure they they will want "vague and nebulous" but I obviously accept that we'll need to see what they offer (if they are interested) and see if we can reach an agreement. But in principle I can't see why we shouldn't start out asking for something specific.--BobNot Jim 18:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Liberal denials about history #15[edit]
I only mentioned 1936 and 1940, instead of adding '32 or '44, since they seemed more likely to be wins due to Great Depression policies. 1932 was pretty much anybody but Hoover, and 1944 would have had more to do with WWII. What do you think? Leaving it wouldn't make much of a difference, I just wanted you to know my thinking. --Edgerunner76Your views are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter 13:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Obviously 1932 did not apply there, but 1944 did (he was still popular at that time, he easily survived a campaign attacking his economic policies, and his party made electoral gains in the House of Representatives). ListenerXTalkerX 16:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Like I wrote, I can go with it either way. The main point really is that a majority of people must have thought he was doing something right after all. --Edgerunner76Your views are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter 16:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story[edit]
fly off the handle indeed. Let's see, Philip said "I object" and "I'll give opportunity for discussion"; yep definitely in a rage, he was. What about me? Hm.. not an exclamation mark or bolding throughout, I acknowledged that some modification (which you suggested, but never carried out) would make it acceptable, and I said your essay on the topic looked well written. I was ranting, to be sure. It's that disregard for facts in favour of a story to fits one's preconceptions that have lead me to ascribe so little credibility to so many evolutionists. Tricksy (talk) 05:47, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- It is a user box. Waxing all offended about a user box is already pushing it. Indicting a user box on two or three separate counts of being politically-incorrect is flying off the handle. ListenerXTalkerX 05:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- 1) it was called offensive, not politically incorrect. Different kettle of fish altogether.
- 2) from these definitions it would seem that my use of the phrase above is correct, and yours was not.
- Like I said, disregarding (or perhaps distorting) the facts in favour of a story to fits one's preconceptions (intentionally or not). Tricksy (talk) 06:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, PJR did threaten to delete it in his first comment. ħuman 06:30, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- More distortion. Philip objected, explained the objection, and invited discussion while stating his current intent to delete the template on the grounds of his objection. Calling that a threat is mischaracterisation, although not as much as calling it "flying off the handle". Tricksy (talk) 06:45, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Nope.
- Going by what PJR has permitted on aSK in the past, his extreme reaction to a user box definitely constituted a loss of self-control. But this is irrelevant anyway, since hyperbole is par for the course in the WIGOs; you should learn to tell the difference between hyperbole and serious disputation.
- Threaten: "To announce as intended or possible." ListenerXTalkerX 06:57, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- The number of times Philip has called me "ignorant" after blatantly contradicting thousands of biology papers is offensive as well. Sterile houseplant 14:26, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Selective outrage, much? At one point one of PJR's monkeys got all shirty on me for saying that ASK was offensive (in that I'm offended by passing off silly old superstitions as scientific truth). And somebody who believes in paranormal mystical bullshit like Christianity and Creationism coming here to rail about "disregard for facts in favour of a story to fits one's preconceptions" is laughable. Go fuck yourself, Tricksy. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 14:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Listener, (1) Fair enough; "offensive" is now subjective. (2) "Extreme reaction" is the distortion I initially referred to. He didn't like the template, and intended to delete it, but was open to discussion. So the forbearance with which you contrast this "episode" is present anyway. There is not sign of a loss of self control. There is also a difference between hyperbole and mischaracterisation. You have here attempted to justify the characterisation, which is a fair indication that it was not hyperbole. Regardless, the hype on WIGO is kind of my point. The I is for "is", not "I want people to think is". (3)Equivocation? You skipped the definitions relating to "threat", i.e. a means of coercion and an indication of coming evil, injury or damage. Anyway, maybe that really does qualify as hyperbole.
- TOP. No outrage. The hypocrisy at RW of the constant posts accusing PJR, aSK and YECs in general of being desperate and dishonest while the strident distortions continue on WIGO ASK has long been evident. I simply selected the most recent (at the time) example to comment - so selective is probably a fair enough description. Not that I don't think the same about the rest. Would your comment constitute flying off the handle? Tricksy (talk) 00:41, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- I trust then, as aSK and Philip are so honest that the person who called Dawkins a "moron" will also be blocked by Philip? Ace McWickedModel 500 00:55, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- I haven't looked at it yet but I will note that Philip has said (more than once) that your block was not only for that. Tricksy (talk) 01:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- No, Bradley, it was specifically for calling Sarfati a moron. I have commited no other "offence". Ace McWickedModel 500 01:36, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, let's step through what got you blocked. You called Sarfati a moron (1). The site owner identified that as uncivil name-calling and instructed you to retract and apologise. You called Sarfati a moron (again) (2) and refused an instruction from an administrator (3). You also called Sarfati "uneducated" and "either too stupid ... or wilfully ignorant" (4). So "moron" was 2 out of 4 insults, plus your refusal to follow a formal instruction. Your assertion is incorrect. Tricksy (talk) 02:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I looked for the "other person" who called Dawkins a moron, and only found The Emperor's comment that he wouldn't have a problem with calling Dawkins a moron. I can imagine the outcry if that attracted a block in other circumstances. The comment would fit what Philip already called "skating on thin ice" in the same conversation. Tricksy (talk) 02:41, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sarfati thinks evolution is tied up with cosomolgy = being either a moron, uneducated or willfully ignorant. I am sorry if the truth is insulting. Also, Philip specifically mentioned "moron" and only "moron". Bradley, you sir are a moron. Ace McWickedModel 500 02:42, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- I just made myself more comfortable in my chair, so I am a little more on than I was before. You're still wrong about the block. Philip specifically mentioned the refusal to retract and the other insults. Also I see you translated Philip's "It's still not a good think to do" on WIGO as "It's ok". You confirm my point; "Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story". see 4th paragraph .Tricksy (talk) 02:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Bradley, you know as well as I do that if someone, pre this incident, called Dawkins a moron or uneducated it would not lead to a block so dont be fucking nitwit and insult my intelligence. Ace McWickedModel 500 02:48, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree, but we could argue it forever without resolution. It can no longer be tested. I would expect, though, that we would have the standard process beginning with formal warning and instruction to retract. Nice rhetorical device BTW, specifically insulting my intelligence (again) while implying that I have insulted yours. Tricksy (talk) 02:58, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Not "flying off the handle." Colourful language, perhaps. Disdain. But not flying off the handle. My remarks were carefully reasoned. As for insulting your intelligence, If I'm not mistaken, you believe an imaginary being created the world 6000 years ago, and you believe this in the light of overwhelming physical evidence to the contrary. That leaves little room for intelligence, unless you're six years old. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 03:03, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry Bradley but anyone who can really believe the earth is ~6000 yrs old is either a moron or is willfully ignorant. "Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story" should be a disclaimer on the bible (que braying laughter and finger pointing). Ace McWickedModel 500 03:05, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- TOP, I think the attribute you are referring to is "Blind Faith" common with 6 year olds and morons. Rad McCool (talk) 03:20, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- YEC, at least as PJR and his associated mouth-breathers practise it, is a special type of blind faith, in that it thrives on trying to come up with a "scientific" justification for that which is supposed to be believed in blindly. A true believer wouldn't care about the fact that starlight is older than 6000 years. YECs try to twist the laws of science to make the stuff that undermines their ideological worldview work within that ideology. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 03:34, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Belated reply to LowKey's post of 00:41, 8 September 2009[edit]
I maintain that my characterization is accurate. I was only stating that if, as you maintain, it is not, that means nothing since WIGOs are full of hyperbole.
I am certain that when Human used the word "threaten," he was referring to the sense I highlighted in Webster's.
As to your charge of hypocrisy, I put that if we are correct about creationists' "desperation and dishonesty," we are not hypocrites, since we openly acknowledge that our Wiki is stuffed with snark and hyperbole, and most of it is not to be taken too seriously. On the other hand, aSK presents its purported lies as the literal Gospel Truth. ListenerXTalkerX 05:00, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

- You say you are an Odinist, why do you believe non-Norse peoples should follow that religion? I believe in the Aryan pantheon as well, and I believe it is an Aryan warrior path, not a peace-and-love hippie creed that all races can follow. Trust me when I say that I believe in the REAL Norse religion, which wasn't liberal-friendly, AT ALL. WNism 19:00, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- (1) It is the Germanic pantheon, not the "Aryan" one. There is a difference. Get that through your skull. (2) Show me where I said that non-Germanic people are qualified to be Odinists. (3) Try reading the Norse myths and sagas instead of David Lane's natterings about race-war; you might be surprised. ListenerXTalkerX 19:14, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- To me Germanic and Aryan are the same, since I see non-germanic europeans as mud races (I consider Finns white too, but I mean Italians and Bulgarians and such are pretty muddy to me) and if you consider that non-germanic "people" are not qualified to be Odinists, why doesn't this site ban you as a racist and a nazi? And David Lane knew more about Norse religion than someone who thinks that it should be a peace-and-love religion does. Yeah, Vikings were REAL hippies...WNism 19:20, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

- You see the Celts as muddier than Alpine Germans? Rather surprising.
- There is a large difference between a folkish rite and a "We Want to Kill Everyone Who Doesn't Measure About 1 on the Von Luschan Scale" rite, the Nazi pagan groups belonging to the latter category.
- The "peace-and-love" style Norse neopagans (at least some of whom know more than Mr. Lane about the myths, enough to know that Ragnarok and Armageddon are not synonyms) do not pretend to be reconstructionists. ListenerXTalkerX 19:39, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, maybe I'm a reconstructionist, because I believe in the original precepts of a Viking Holy War on jews and race-mixers. And no I'm more a Nordicist than a Germanicist, Alpine "Germans" are not White but neither are many Celts, especially most Welsh. WNism 19:42, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- The Alpine Germans once worshipped Odin; the Celts, Finns, and Balts did not. Mr. Lane nicked the pantheon, falsely claiming it as a pan-"white" one for political purposes, and had to twist matters a good deal even to make the claim that the (Abrahamic) concept of "holy war" existed among the pagan Germans.

That's the formal name of the group, listed in the credits, and capitalized. So, it should be capitalized for the article.--Mustex 02:32, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

a couple of things.[edit]
1. I owe you an apology. I said something mean to you last week, and shouldn't have. I might not be a fan of your attitude, but that's no reason to get personal. I am sorry. 2. I'm glad to see you use the SPLC as a reference. There may be hope for you yet. :-). TheoryOfPractice 17:44, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- Apologizing to this asshole is only going to bolster his smug attitude. — Sincerely, Neveruse513 / Talk / Block 17:53, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

- Nah, I like the vicious cycle of her being smug, me being an asshole, her being even more smug, me being an even bigger asshole... I really believe it's more satisfying for all involved. — Sincerely, Neveruse513 / Talk / Block 18:08, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Fuck you ListenerX, and the horse you rode in on. You are a complete fucking asshole. You are a complete ignoramus. You are are mucking with an editor's utter despair and agony to make some fucking lame political point???? FUCK YOU you are a loser.

- Guys please don't do this. I think that ListenerX's intentions were genuine here, as there has, obviously, been an outpouring of much-needed support from the community here. And I am very grateful. This whole thing is, obviously, going to more difficult than anything I have ever endured. Please try to maintain a peace over this. And, yes, I am lurking, and I am listening to every word of advice this community has had to offer me. The Spikey Punk I'm punking my punk! 05:18, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
