The abuse continues

Shortly before you visited the Talk:Gamergate_controversy article and after my previous request TheRedPenOfDoom made open attacks against living person Milo Yiannopoulos. As I was chastised for voicing my suspicions against WP:F, I feel this too will warrant a formal notice.--ArmyLine (talk) 05:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Due to RL, I've had no time to look at WP, hopefully I'll have some time this coming week. Dreadstar ☥ 01:17, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you.--ArmyLine (talk) 21:22, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Er, bullshit. All he said was that Milo is becoming too close to the gamergate stuff and is losing his objectivity on the matter. That is mild bordering on the milquetoast. Disagree if you like, but WP:BLP policy protects subjects from actual defamatory attacks and slurs and the like, it does not inoculate the subject from every last critical observation. Tarc (talk) 21:43, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

The mainstream response to B/Y is pretty much "yawn, nothing there", "hmmm, some presentation out of context -not exactly what you would expect from a journalist purportedly expounding on journalistic ethics" to "yowsa! can you believe he is blaming the victims of the death threats????? " I am not really sure how you wan to fit that into the article. Note: this is referring to Milo. I would think that saying "yowsa! can you believe he is blaming the victims of the death threats" (not an actual quotation) is patently defamatory and has no place on an encyclopedia. I'm mainly posting this for Dreadstar's convenience and have no interest in starting an argument here. I suggest you contact an admin in a new thread if you are concerned about my statements or discuss it on my talk page. I am willing to listen to what you have to say and will not screen out fair concerns.--ArmyLine (talk) 03:10, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

I really don't have a general interest in what you have to say, to be honest. I only posted here to point out that this specific claim of "defamation" was bogus. WP:ANI is thataway if you really wish to make hay of it. Tarc (talk) 12:30, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Chunk5Darth

Hi Dreadstar, when you have time can you please revisit Chunk5Darth (talk · contribs)? You blocked him back in June for edit warring, and he hasn't changed his ways at all. He's still carrying on regular edit wars; in fact, he's carrying on two separate wars with different users at Breaking Bad and Visa requirements for Israeli citizens within the last 24 hours. I would deal with him but I think I've reverted him on Breaking Bad in the past so I'm keeping my distance. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 13:44, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I've ceased the reverts on Breaking Bad immediately following the warning.

However, the other page is a completely different issue: the other user has been reinserting information which I found irrelevant, proved its irrelevance on the article talk page, but the other user refuses to engage in said discussion on the article talk page and has done nothing but revert and threaten me. Please explain how I am in the wrong. Thanks. Chunk5Darth (talk) 18:06, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

• Here is the above mentioned talk page discussion, and the utterly ignored response on my talk page. Chunk5Darth (talk) 18:28, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
