A message left on this talk page by a Christian fan of my work: "You sodomites really know how to stick together....yech !!!! I never met one who was not significantly emotionally disturbed. Oh, they can function and prosper in society but when the center of your life is your perverted sex you are emotionally disturbed and after looking at your user page are no different. People like you should and someday will be destroyed. It will be a glorious day. BTW i rotate ip addresses about every 2-3 days........Keep on Suckin'

So much for this.

I hope all of you sodomites decide that maybe Christians are right and that all we need is some church in our wicked lives.

This looks like a personal attack to me. Please be more cautious in the future. Dreadstar † 20:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe I shouldn't have used that word, but it's obvious the guy is trolling on ASE's page because of the new userbox that he doesn't like. He doesn't seem to have a problem with the other userbox that actually uses the BSA logo and talks about not wanting to be associated with the organization. I find that hypocritical. He's on a mission to somehow prove that he's right and doesn't want any mention of the BSA's homophobic policies, even thought ASE's new userbox does not mention the BSA at all or use their logo. Other admins have mentioned they think it's ok the way it is. But that doesn't seem to be enough for him. After you left this same kind of comment on Justinm1978's page, he said "I shouldn't be stooping down to the same level." IMHO, that's B.S. He has been going after ASE for a few days now and is determined to get his way and leaving comments suggesting we're illiterate and suggesting that ASE is not willing to collaborate even though he has created the new userbox that is very neutral. I also find this hypocritical. I hope you and other admins can see that and I also hope your judgment is not swayed because you seem to agree with him. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 21:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Theist/atheist?

I just noticed that your text says you're a theist, but you're in Category:Atheist Wikipedians. (I have no problem with the combination of agnostic with either of those terms, as you can probably guess from my userpage, so that's not my question.)

Hmmm, how did I get on that list? Yeah, I'm an agnostic theist (an oxy to some). I'd rather be listed in the Category:Agnostic Wikipedians. Lemme figure out how to switch it. I tried editing the page to add my name, but that doesn't seem to be the way to do it. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't see my name on the atheist list anymore. Did you remove it? How do I add my name to the agnostic list? AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:37, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

One of your userboxes must put you in it. Maybe the one that says you'd rather there were no religion? You are in the atheist cat under U (for User:Agn...) You can see your name in the list here. You can either add [[Category:Agnostic Wikipedians]] to your userpage to put yourself in that category, or you can use one of the agnostic userboxes, like the one I have on my page. Aleta ^Sing 23:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, actually you already are in that cat! Aleta ^Sing 23:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I was looking under 'A' but yeah, I see it now. I removed a userbox and that seemed to fix it. Thanks for pointing that one out to me. I didn't even know those categories existed. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem! I was just wondering about the discrepancy. :) Aleta ^Sing 23:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I also fixed the userbox {{User agnostic}} so if people use it, it will automatically place them in Category:Agnostic Wikipedians. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 23:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

• I'm so confused.... And I still don't know what an agnostic theist is, never mind an atheist theist, or a deist or any of the other possible combinations and permutations. <goes away for a moment to ask god what up with dis> Can't I just use God's name in vain without worrying about which theological or philosophical ...ism I'm profaning or upsetting? — Becksguy (talk) 00:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Basically, I believe in some kind of Supreme Being, maybe not the definition of God that Christians believe in, but I think the details of our bodies, animals, plants, earth and everything else is way too complicated and intricate to be explained by some Big Bang explosion or an "accident." But, I also believe there is no proof of a Supreme Being, and there never will be. It's all about faith and what you believe. It takes faith to believe in evolution, just as it does creationism. So basically, I believe in a God, but admit there's no proof. Make sense...kinda? AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 00:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I transcluded it to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Ya missed that step. They would have removed it totally. Now, as for this RfA. I totally support it, because of the quality of your edits and your demeanor on Wikipedia. I don't think I've once seen you get cross with anyone, edit war, etc. But I do want to prep you.. your total edit count is 7547. That will bring a lot of people who will give you praise but still oppose you because of "experience". Unfortunately, that's been the case in almost all RfA's I have seen. So just do your best to answer any questions posed and to drive home quality over quantity. :] Good luck Aleta! You deserve it! - ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 04:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Kudos on Raleigh landmark pages!

When I created the Category:Buildings and structures in Raleigh, North Carolina category last week, I hoped it would soon blossom. I'm glad to see you're on the case, APK. Excellent work on your Joel Lane House, Mordecai House, and other great entries! You're one reason Wikipedia rocks! Mark Turner Jmturner (talk) 17:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I've got a whole list of buildings I'm working on for the historic places in Wake County, so I'll be adding more in the near future. I'll have at least 2 more added by tomorrow. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 18:40, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I've created the 2 articles I mentioned and added quite a few articles to the list. Are you wanting to count schools such as Ravenscroft School on that list or does it need to be a specific building since that schools has multiple buildings? Side note: I use to live a stone's throw away from that school. I miss Wake County. APK is thinking about moving back there. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 10:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think schools in general would be right for the list unless they have architectural or historical significance, but I'm open to debate on that. Murphey School, as Raleigh's first integrated school, could use a page. Needham B. Broughton High School has one but it is in desperate need of cleaning up. As for other places, I'd like to see Pullen House get a page. It's not on the NRHP but is significant to me, anyway.

You've got the content part covered for most of thes and its much appreciated! If you've got a list of needs, I'd be happy to snap some public domain photos of these landmarks. Spring is beginning to bloom here and its getting to be good photography weather! Jmturner (talk) 14:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I need a picture of the new Raleigh Convention Center, if you get a chance. You mentioned historical schools. I'm going to write an article sometime in the next day or so for St. Mary's School (Raleigh), although it's listed as St. Mary's College on the National Register. I'm not sure if I should title it school or college. Do you know of some websites where I could get info to write about the Pullen House? I'm not seeing too much info at first glance.

Raleigh Pronunciation

I notice you reverted my edit to change the pronunciation listed for Raleigh from "ral-ee" to "rhymes with trolley" and marked it as vandalism. I'm curious as to why. I'm born and raised in Durham and I've only heard "ral-ee" a few times from Canadians or Americans living in the upper midwest. 66.57.252.97 (talk) 22:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I mistakenly marked it as vandalism because at the time, I was reverting vandalization on several articles and when I saw that edit from an IP it appeared to be a nonsense edit. Although it's not vandalism, I don't think adding "rhymes with trolley" is the best pronunciation to add. Also, I lived in NC most of my life and I'm not sure I see the problem with the current pronunciation. It appears to be the correct way to say it. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

That's fine, I don't think it's that important in the long run; but do you really think "ral-ee" (which I'm interpreting as "rally") is correct? That's like pronouncing Garner "gare-ner"... 66.57.252.97 (talk) 00:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm interpreting it as "Rall-ee", so I'll add the extra L to clarify. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 01:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, adding the extra L really would make it sound like 'rally' so I'll leave the pronunciation as is. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 01:42, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe someone who knows IPA could add that as an unambiguous solution. Aleta ^Sing 01:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

This says rali. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 01:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Administrators' noticeboard

Sorry AgnosticPreachersKid, but not this kind of user behavior. The WP:AIN is supposed to report on abnormal user behavior such as evasion of blocks, abuse of admin tools, persistent vandalism, persistent spamming. Again, these pages are not the place to raise disputes over content, or reports of abusive behavior. Please take such disputes to requests for comment, requests for mediation, or requests for arbitration rather than in the WP:AIN. And please, be communicative, You just left a message to SatyrTN. Cheers. --Mhsb (talk) 02:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm very communicative, hence the number of edits I've left on talk pages. You left the message on Satyr's page, and so I responded there. There's no need to leave another message on your talk page to respond to a question on his page. If you know how WP works so well, then you would know that. Also you're telling me to "please take such disputes..." You're talking to the wrong person. I'm not the one that posted anything at AIN. All I did was state that you're incorrect when you said "reporting abusive behavior" does not belong in AIN, because that's exactly where it goes. I wasn't referring to your case, I meant in general. So please get your facts straight. All you did was copy and paste the response you left on other talk pages onto mine without checking to see if it actually applied to me. Last thing, you're wrong about the incident not belonging on AIN, see this for details. Cheers. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

NC articles

I hope the NC project realizes what they have in you. You've really been cranking on those articles! Aleta ^Sing 05:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. :-) I don't know if that project was more active at some point, but since I started editing, I haven't seen any type of communication or activity going on in the project. The only project member I've ever spoken to is Jayron32 (on second thought, he's not a member, just watches over some NC articles since he lives in Raleigh). I've been rating alot of articles for the project since it appears no one took the time to do that. I just add my new articles to the project list in hopes of someone that still watches the page will see and look over my articles for possible errors. I didn't get one of those cute Welcome banners or even a Hi when I joined. I guess I was spoiled by the LGBT project and the welcome I received. I have about 100 articles in my mind that need to be created. I just wish I had enough time and energy to create them all. I've still got to tweak the Raleigh article and some of the town articles in Wake County. I added alot of stuff (crap?) to most of the town articles already, but I need to go back over them with a fine comb. Also, there are soooo many articles that need overall maintenance, including my first article. AHHHHHHH! Am I the only person that feels torn about what Wikitask to do next? (I'm soooo not trying to come off as bragging, but I feel like I'm one of the few people doing anything on the NC articles, and god knows there are alot of them that need work.) AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Have you been nominating any of these articles you're creating for Did you know...'? That Lightner one you just wrote would be a great candidate for it, I'd think. Aleta ^Sing 05:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

No, I haven't nominated any of them but I was reading about the qualifications yesterday. I thought the same thing about Clarence Lightner, but I need a picture and maybe some more info for it to be long enough. I just e-mailed his Foundation to ask them to upload a picture. What else do you think needs to be done for it to be eligible for DYK? Right now, I think a good line would be "Did you know that Clarence Lightner was the first African-American mayor of a metropolitan Southern United States city?" or something like that. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Looking through the requirements, it doesn't appear that it has to have a picture, although if you can get one, that would definitely improve the article. You've referenced a lot of it inline; if you could put some more inline refs, that might help... I haven't done it, so I don't know exactly what they look for in picking them. Something else that would be good to add, although I don't know if it makes any difference for DYK is an infobox, maybe a succession box for Raleigh mayors as well. Aleta ^Sing 06:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Lemme figure out how to make one of those. I made one for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurant Group, but I'm not sure if they have one for mayors (although I guess a regular politican infobox would work). What do you mean by more inline refs? Me be confused. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 06:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I looked at the LGBT watchlist and saw over -63,000 on that article, so it appeared to be someone removing content.

Question on firsts - I'd suggest going back to the original sources (rather than wikipedia) to check dates. Who knows, maybe they are counting the election dates, rather than when people took office, or maybe Atlanta overlooked Raleigh's first. The dates should establish it. Also, I've added more historical perspective - Lightner came of age when most blacks in the SOuth were disfranchised, and was of the first generation to be elected to political office after the Voting Rights Act. I think it's worth mentioning.--Parkwells (talk) 12:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

*Shudder* You actually want to meet that?? Isn't the trail of slime left behind it toxic to anyone in the vicinity with your IQ or higher (explaining the survival of so many of the current WH WW denizens)? Jay*Jay (talk) 03:27, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

When I said I want to meet him, I didn't mean I want to shake his hand or take a picture with him. I want to give him a wedgie. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Making sure it's a hanging one - choose the location carefully - and disinfect thoroughly afterwards. You may, in fact, need to wear some type of protective clothing suitable to such a hazardous environment, with another full-body protective layer (see photo, 67 m should be enough?) underneath. Jay*Jay (talk) 04:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

67? Puhleaze. I need a bigger one. :P AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:10, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

How ironic

How ironic Waterboy's comment given the question I was just answering on the RfA page. Aleta ^Sing 02:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing. He's now blocked indefinitely. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I saw that. Thanks for reverting him and reporting it. Aleta ^Sing 02:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Once upon a time, there was a really bored user that was vandalizing pages. Ms. Aleta left warning comments on his talk page. (Notice the spelling of 'faggot' in the unblock request...We're dealing with a real winner here.) The vandal decided it would be 'kool' if he left Aleta this nice message 3 times on her talk page, which Roleplayer and I reverted. Not wanting to leave others out, the boy decided to leave this message on Roleplayer's talk page because he was throwing a temper tantrum about us reverting his vandalism. All of this was going on while I (patiently?) waited for an admin to block the user after I reported him to AIV. So the user was blocked. Well, boredom and retardation got the best of the poor guy and he returned in a few minutes with another, yet similar name. He proceeded to leave lovely messages for the admin that blocked him and for myself. I was thrilled because I didn't want to feel left out like I did that one time at band camp. I reported the sock and he was blocked again. Well, I guess masturbating to midget porn on Xtube and picking the scabs on his scrotum caused by his condition got kinda old. He created another sock and the midget porn must have been really funny to him (that, or he was happy there wasn't too much stuff coming out of those scabs) because he left ROFL messages for me and Aleta. He was so happy about not having alot of pus, apparently, he was rolling on the floor and laughing in excitement. So I reported that account as well. Now, you know The Rest of the Story. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 09:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

More APK stories! More! *stamps foot* *tantrum brewing* Maybe Uncle APK will tell us the story of Jack and how his bean became a big stalk.... Jay*Jay (talk) 11:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

No, but I might tell you a story about the time I "met" a nice off-duty man (that looked like a Greek god) from Iowa while strolling the white sand dunes of a nude beach near Pensacola. The lesson I learned that day: sand can get into so many places. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 12:04, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

You are apparently the "real winner" here. If you would have actually looked you would have seen the unblock request was made by someone esle. My guess is that would be you. Did you not realize it was an insult to waterboy, and they were calling him a faggot? That should have been your first clue. 123.242.230.161 (talk) 16:58, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

It was made by an anonymous IP editor, which may or may not have been Waterboyrocks. Aleta ^Sing 17:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Here is what I'm wondering. How do you make your IP adress completely different that rapidly? I didn't know you could do that. My IP only changes like once or twice a year. 123.242.230.161 (talk) 17:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

O rly? *looks at your contribs* "You do realize that if I wanted to continue making the Anberlin article factual all I would have to do is create an account, right? An account is no longer considered new after a few constructive edits. Also I could make a 100 accounts today, all with completely different IP's and in a short time they would no longer be new accounts. So don't think you all won, I just got bored with it." Kind of silly to be accusing APK of being the one prone to anon IP abuse here... Rachel Summers (talk) 20:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

What the fcuk is this person talking about. I've been on off WP for a few hours and find some random anonymous IP (probably Waterboy) accusing me of rotating IP addresses. Troll. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

It's the same guy..shortly after I posted here, my talk page and the last thing I edited got hit (but very quickly reverted by others). The silly twit hasn't figured out the virtues of laying low, he's just making enemies left and right. Rachel Summers (talk) 00:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Xtube must be down. Those midget porns are his life. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 00:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of which... Have you seen 9 Dead Gay Guys? Absolutely hilarious! 9 Dead Gay Guys at IMDb. Rent it - I recommend it highly and you'll never think about gay midget porn in quite the same way. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 02:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

At least he isn't watching wookie porn... Jay*Jay (talk) 02:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Outside opinion needed

On the Kamau Kambon article, someone is removing the racism category saying it is a violation of BLP. The subject of the article said, "The only solution in my estimation is to exterminate white people." Does the racism category belong? Calling for the genocide of white people seems, oh I don't know, just a wee bit racist. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 00:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Oy..depends on how Wikipedia defines racism in terms of categorization. If they go by the definition that implies the desire to use institutional power by the dominant cultural majority (in the US, whites) against minorities, then it wouldn't be. On the other hand, if they go by a broader definition that involves any persecution of a discrete race, regardless of the subject's minority/majority status, then it would be. Rachel Summers (talk) 01:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, racism can be committed by any race, not just white people. (ex:Louis Farrakhan) If WP has any balls, then they would consider these people racist. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 01:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

By the broader definition, yes--but then there is the argument that while such a view constitutes prejudice, as the view of a minority it doesn't count as racism. Again, it depends on which school of thought is being applied here. Rachel Summers (talk) 01:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

For what it's worth--I note that groups such as The New Black Panther Party are listed under that category. If they can be interpreted as black supremacist and therefore racist for WP categorization, then seemingly so could Kamau Kambon. Rachel Summers (talk) 01:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

With the caveat that I no nothing about the subject, and haven't even looked at the article, I would that it certainly sounds like racism to me. (Of course, there may be problems analogous to those with the homophobia cat being discussed elsewhere.) Aleta ^Sing 02:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the recent reverts on my talk page. κaτaʟaveno^T_C 01:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Spam filter?

Can someone please attempt to write something on the Talk:Elisabeth Hasselbeck page, a test edit or something. I have repeatedly tried to post on there and keep getting a "spam filter message." Someone keeps removing material from the article and I can't explain why it belongs. BTW, that user has a major agenda. I'm trying to add: "Arthur Smart is repeately removing material explaining why Elisabeth was right in relation to her debate with Whoopi about black men having the right to vote before women. He says it's POV and that it's debateable. Obviously, there is no debate about when the ammendments were passed and what they were about. It appears to be an attempt to make Elisabeth look wrong by removing facts." It won't let me post it. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 01:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I tried to post and got a spam filter link referring to some external site. My post contained no external link, and the only internal link was to this page. So, the problem is more widespread than just effecting you, APK. Maybe report it to WP:ANI with a copy of the spam response? Jay*Jay (talk) 01:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

User:User235 on AIV

Hello, I've removed your request to have the above user blocked, as I can't tell that he's had any vandalism edits after a final warning, not am I seeing any blatant evidence of sockpuppetry in relation to the three accounts you mentioned. Additionally, User:Boobyboshay is not registered. You may want to bring this case to WP:SSP or WP:RFCU for more investigation. Thanks, Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, never mind - I got edit conflicted when another admin blocked him. All the same, happy editing. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

It was Boobybooshay. I missed an 'O'. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

He didn't admit to that, actually.

The user you said on AIV admitted to being a sock. I might have missed something (as is common for poor old me, but what can you do?) here, but in this comment: [2] I think he says he's not a sock, but admits to vandalizing. If he was blocked for being a sockpuppet, I think he ought to be unblocked, the reblocked for the right reason. Just so you know. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:26, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

In this edit he refers to previous comments left by his sock. So he was blocked for the right reason. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm still not seeing it; all I gather from that is that he is unfortunate enough to have down syndrome, and put something about porn on your userpage, thinking you'd like it. Could you please clarify where the sockpuppet part comes in? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Your comment is a joke, right? AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, read his latest comments on his talk page. He says he just "happen" to come across my talk page. His very first edits were to add porn to my page. Please don't try to justify his obvious "sockiness." AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, that just about sums it up. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 02:52, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Well no, it's not a joke. I merely don't like when someone is jailed for the wrong reasons. I don't see how this evidences that he has more accounts on Wikipedia, but if it does somehow, I have no qualms with it. A Wikipedia criminal, for whatever they've done, has to be properly dealt with, after all. And now I'm sure I've wasted about half an hour of your day, for which I am sorry. Good day, and happy editing!!! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 03:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

You don't know the background of his sock accounts and his edits. He's not being "jailed for the wrong reason." He was blocked for being a douche. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Realizing he's a SOCK is called common sense. He won't answer the questions I've asked him about how he came across my talk page and decided as his first edit, to add porn. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, now I see. I don't know of any politer way to say this, but isn't that still a little presumptuous? Maybe he was scared to answer. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 03:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC) Although I can't offer an explanation as to why he would have chosen your page to pornographilize, other than that it was a random choice. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 03:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Once again, an admin agrees with me. I'm asking you in a polite way to drop it, stop defending him and to not post on my page again. Thanks. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

The cherry on top. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

FYI: AIV report about you. Aleta ^Sing 03:51, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not surprised. She posted again to test whether or not I would remove it and so she could report me if I did. According to this, I can remove comments. I politely asked her not to post again and she did anyway. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

The block was denied. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

FYI, its now moved to WP:ANI. This is getting rediculous... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

If you notice the edit history in the past few minutes, you'll see why Willa has received a final warning about harassment on her talk page and at the ANI post she started. I'm soooo over this. I'm trying to write a damn article and this is getting in the way. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, so much for her supposed concern for great Wikipedia justice...her Nixonian list of "Wiki-enemies" is kinda nutty. O_o Rachel Summers (talk) 04:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

This should give some insight, especially the very last entry. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 04:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

"If another user removes the attack from my talkpage, I'll put it right back. It's my userpage, after all." Hmmmm. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Mommie Dearest, I'm scared. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I just laughed myself sick reading her user page; it reads like a troll using the Onion's Jean Teasdale for inspiration. Rachel Summers (talk) 04:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Really folks. I told her to let it drop. Why don't we ALL just let it drop. This isn't productive, and there's already enough hurt feelings. Lets just all leave the whole thing in our past. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

"And scene." This concludes our drama for the day. I agree. Let's all go back to removing the words "poop" and "hi mom!" from articles. Better yet, maybe I'll finish the St. Mary's School article I've been delaying for 2 or 3 days. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 04:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Really folks--this is obviously a troll. Why don't we ALL just mind our own business instead of defending them when they throw temper tantrums? Rachel Summers (talk) 05:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Rachel. :( AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I know, it was directed towards Jayron32, but he's a good guy and is just trying to help. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Except that as far as I'm aware, we're not doing anything wrong by discussing her hharassment of you on your user page. And I don't care to have my convos interrupted, particularly on behalf of someone who gets their rocks off manipulating others into rushing to their 'rescue'. That's my piece, I'm done now. Rachel Summers (talk) 05:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

For the record, I have rescued nobody. I have warned that person, and yet they don't seem to be heeding it. See my latest ANI post. This is getting silly, and for the record, I agree with everything Rachel has said. I just don't think we gain much by continuing the discussion, that is all... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 05:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
