The latest Ped whatever brouhaha (among other things)

That knucklehead really stirred up ahornet´s nest for no reason. The Pedophilia article was never tagged with the LGBT label--only the Pedarasty one. I guess in her mind the two are inextricably linked together, or she thought it would make a more convincing case if she linked the two. Anyway,thanks for weighing in.

Moving along, congrats on getting your press credentials. What a coup! Very exciting for you, and I really admire the photographic work you´re doing.

Isaac is back in the hospital and they think he has lymphoma, so I am stressed (writing this from the hopsital cyber cafe). We´ll have definite diagnosis next week. Hope you´re well. Jeffpw 14:29, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Anna Wilding

Hi David,

Your picture of Anna Wilding in your /Entertainers page links to Buddha Wild Monk in the Hut. I've moved this to the correct film title, with a colon after Wild, so you at least should adjust your link to that. However, as the Anna Wilding article looks to be here to stay (and is now being actively worked on by some respected editors), that linking directly to Anna Wilding would probably be better. Thanks! — Timotab ^{Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!)} 21:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi David

As I wrote earlier -- I represent Ropes & Gray and I was hoping to talk with you.

You can reach me at 781-487-4608.

Thanks, George —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.200.158 (talk) 00:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• George, anything that you would like to discuss regarding the Ropes & Gray article can be done here, or on Talk:Ropes and Gray. I understand that this controversy is unflattering, but it did in fact exist. If you feel the "whole story" is not told then we can discuss that. I didn't appreciate John Tuerck legally threatening me in an e-mail because a sourced, cited criticism that was news is included on the page. Wikipedia editors don't take kindly to threats, and to now discuss the issue with the PR firm of the subject article, frankly, doesn't sound appealing. --David Shankbone 00:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

LGBT Studies Tag for Larry Craig

Hi, I just wanted to say your rationale for including the Larry Craig article in the LGBT studies category was keen. You have a lot of great edits! Keithbrooks 09:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

If you want to file a case against me...

... go ahead. Don't think for a minute I'll be hounded off the project like THF was. Unlike THF, I don't have much in my edit history that you can twist and turn against me, so good luck. ATren 16:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I think your harassment is already being addressed by other people, just not by you. You harass another editor by keeping a blog of his edits called "Weiner Watch", you trumpet this proudly on your User page (half of which is taken up by this), and then you have the gall to go into an ArbCom that addresses THF's problematic edit history and rant about how he is being harassed? Seriously, this is one of the more hypocritical things I've seen on Wikipedia. You, who have harassed User:Avidor, another Wikipedia editor, and have done so for over a year by continually updating a blog criticizing him and his edits, calling him a Weiner, who use his real name on your User page, actually thinking you have any moral credibility to raise any kind of argument in that ArbCom is galling. You should be ashamed of yourself. --David Shankbone 16:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

As I said, feel free to file the case. I have nothing to hide. ATren 17:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Please redact

David, I think you have crossed the line with your latest post. I think you should strike the stuff referring to THF's chin, which is entirely inappropriate and excessive. I understand the point you are trying to make, but it is inappropriate nonetheless and you should remove it. There are other ways to make that analogy. ATren 17:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• It's completely appropriate since it was said by Wikidea, not me, and that comment itself has been an extreme focus of the ArbCom and oft-discussed. --David Shankbone 18:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• And you don't think there's other ways to make a point about Ken Avidor besides calling him a Weiner? --David Shankbone 18:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

And did you ever consider that if I wanted to call him a wiener (note, "i before e, except after c") I would have named it "Wiener Watch"? Do you know anything about that dispute? [1]

Now, really, you should remove what you wrote. THF is gone, and regardless of the point you are trying to make, you should not be using such language. ATren 18:12, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

ATren, once again, you have little moral credibility here, considering your mocking the intelligence of another editor for over a year. The example is illustrative and apt. Your concern has been noted, and discarded. --David Shankbone 18:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Anna Wilding

I emailed the contact of that website, when Tonyx123 was claiming the permission to use the images. Instead of using the email address that Tony provided, I researched and that website had one that I used. I missed that it was a fansite at first, so emailed anyway. The reply I got was, well... I could forward it to you, but it's clearly written in the same style as a certain irate person who has been editing recently. — Timotab ^{Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!)} 21:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• I understand, but that editor is also acting on behalf of Wilding (I spoke with her on the phone). I have to get out of here - I'll put some more work into the article, which clearly needs a good deal of work. I may do an interview with Wilding that might help alleviate some of the problems the article has. --David Shankbone 21:10, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
