I have to agree with Ursa, Sceptre. I also have been civil to TTN and Ned Scott. But it's just not working - they are not letting up. [[User:Angie Y.|Angie Y.]] 00:59, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Are you sick of it?

Are you sick of TTN's non-consensual, mergist attitude? User:PeaceNT has told me that TTN is not allowed to merge any more episode articles unless aggreement is reached. Angie Y. 20:28, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to understand were TTN and others are coming from. As an editor, I tend toward inclusionism versus a cropped and neat encyclopedia. I think this makes Wikipedia a better encyclopedia than Britannica or some others. However, that being said, other editors want to avoid Wikipedia becoming the world's largest collection of fan speculation, trivia, and silliness. I understand their point of view, I just believe that eventually "the creme will rise to the top" and I choose to err on the side of including rather than trimming. That being said, most things on Wikipedia are utterly "undoable." Continue to voice your opinion in a civil manner and I firmly believe we will have a better encyclopedia for it.

I'm trying to be civil, but this weirdo (TTN) is not hearing me out. Angie Y. 01:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding TTN, "DIMEist cabal", et al

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors. Please stop being uncivil to your fellow editors; instead, assume that they are here to improve Wikipedia. Sceptre 12:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have been nothing but civil despite being the victim of extreme incivility. I have been mocked, belittled, and hounded over my editorial POV. I have had pages in my userspace preemptively redirected and my userpage edited without any discussion. I have done my best to assume my attackers are editing in good faith. I apologize for the use of the word "cabal" but the persecution I have experienced has made me paranoid. I honestly wonder if there is not a conspiracy to silence certain viewpoints. Anyway, I think this warning is senseless and would be better directed at others. Ursasapien (talk) 12:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
