Not very.
This user is a racist by Wikipedia standards, though not by beliefs.
Thank God it's only the Internet.
IGNORANCE

*READ THIS FIRST OR YOUR MESSAGE MAY BE IGNORED*
Probably not, but read it anyway.
  • If you leave a message here, I'll reply here. If I've left you a message, you can reply there or here. If you chose to reply here, I will respond here.
  • If there is a conversation taking place somewhere, keep it there. It doesn't need to also take place on my talk page. Such discussions will be removed.
  • If you are pissed off at something I've done, assume good faith. Most likely, whatever I did was with the best of intentions. If you decide to pitch a fit on my talk page anyway, note that I endorse WP:DGAF.
  • As much as I like to smile, please do not post generic smile or wikilove templates here. If you want to personalize them, by all means, I appreciate those. Otherwise, give them to someone else.



This is me! :)

monobook.js

I've noticed your mention of a javascript for softblocking or self-blocking using monobook.js. Can you tell me how this works and how to use it? I've tried testing it on my monobook.js and it doesn't seem to work, but I think I'm doing it wrong. Can you help? Neapolitan Sixth (talk) 15:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was given the code and I placed it in someone else's monobook. I don't know if the code worked or not. I've been told that it sometimes doesn't. In this case, however, it's not been tested by the person I placed it upon. He's simply not even attempting to log in right now. My understanding is it simply hides the log in function, so you're rendered incapable of logging in. I may test it on myself, just to see if it works. LaraLove 15:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OIC. You have to log out for it to work. I'd have to set a longer time for that to work and I didn't want to block myself for that long. Still doesn't seem to be that effective because you could just edit anonymously or just refresh and the login link is back. Thanks for replying! Neapolitan Sixth (talk) 20:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you aware of the wikibreak device? I'll leave a note on your talk. Enigma message 02:56, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Or, you could disable javascript in your browser :) SQLQuery me! 02:56, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tee hee

That's another good editor I've fooled into thinking I'm an admin :D

Please, don't take this the wrong way, but I'd appreciate you removing me from your list of "community ban" participants. I just contributed to the RfC, is all. Hoping this produces a Δdrama < 0, SHEFFIELDSTEELTALK 20:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can correct it to state that you're just an editor, but the point is to list those you participated in the AN discussion. Removing you would be inappropriate. It's not to state you've done anything wrong. I'm simply detailing the limited participation that took place in the blocking of this user. Your actions are not in question.

Logo stuff

Hey, I thought you might be interested that your user page came up in a discussion regarding some minor improvements to the logo image, at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#New_logo. Also seen you around at administrators noticeboard and just wanted to say hi and give you a much-belated welcome. :-) Let me know if there's ever anything I can help out with, and happy editing. Dcoetzee 01:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

I just wanted to apologise for posting what amounted to an accusation against you on AN. I really didn't mean it to come out that way; I just wanted to try to encourage everyone to calm down. I had a vision of a whole bunch of admins I respect going out of control like a row of dominoes, and I wanted to try and stop it. Sorry I did such a poor job, and you caught the worst of it. SHEFFIELDSTEELTALK 02:59, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine. I'm actually pretty calm. Just incredibly disappointed at the complete ignorance of so many people. The wholly inappropriate statements that are allowed of editors. The total hypocrisy and irony is painful to witness. I've come to see so many flaws in this place in the past few weeks that I've been completely blind to for a year and a half. And it's sickening.

RFA Thanks

Thanks for your support at my recent Request for adminship. It’s been my pleasure to work with you, too, and I hope to do so again. I hope you find I live up to your expectations. Best, Risker (talk) 14:08, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. SWATJester Son of the Defender 15:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it and moved it to my talk page, per your comments on the MFD. I'm glad we could come to a compromise after you've been allowed by the community to label users as racist even after you are shown evidence that they are not, and then you bitching when I point it out. LaraLove 18:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lara, despite what you may think, I have nothing against you, but you're letting your emotions destroy your Wikipedia career. You're cursing at people all over Wikipedia, making personal attacks, being grossly incivil (even if you don't agree with WP:CIVIL). I don't have anything against you, so I don't want to see you get in trouble for it, but if you don't calm down I'm worried that it might happen. I'm not going to comment further on your talk page, because I'm not here to antagonize you, just wanted to let you know that I think you should just let all of this go. SWATJester Son of the Defender 18:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you want her to calm down you may want to just walk away for a while and let her cool off. Continuing to "express concern" like this probably isn't helpful to that end, coming from you, the person who pissed her off in the first place (not that I'm making any judgment of fault). Equazcion /C 18:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As long as the comments stand in the Arbitration case, I'm going to point out what the community has endorsed. I'm not removing the message from my talk page as I feel it's more important to let this ride out and give the community an opportunity to correct a grossly inappropriate accusation, or set a precedence that it's acceptable for one user to falsely accuse another of being a racist, but not acceptable for the falsely accused to voice their disgust. LaraLove 18:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC) Also note that this can also have a negative affect on Wikipedia as it gives right for users to label others based on the articles they edit. This may lead to a feeling that one cannot edit taboo articles, even to correct the NPOV, without risking being labeled inaccurately, and in a way that may damage their reputation. In that regard, this is not simply a personal attack, but rather a community endorsement that could negatively impact the encyclopedia. LaraLove 20:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is how one edits taboo articles not the fact of editing them that is the critical factor, we desperately need people to edit taboo articles but in an NPOV, dispassionate way. Thanks, SqueakBox 20:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Smells like paranoia: Also note that this can also have a negative affect on Wikipedia as it gives right for users to label others based on the articles they edit.. Damn. Did you really mean this? &#0149;Jim62sch&#0149;dissera! 23:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Message of Support

Heya Lara. Just wanted to give you a message of support about what's going on. No matter what else is going on, we need to be supportive of each other. If you need someone to vent at or whatever, just shoot me an email ok? (ugh, stupid flu medicine :D) SirFozzie (talk) 23:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I love you, you know I do. Email is there. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 00:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Add my name to any "support" section. I may rarely (if ever) agree with you, but I don't think I've seen such a loopy range of wild accusations with no supporting evidence thrown at a user since Poetlister.iridescent 00:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Same here. Sceptre (talk) 00:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Man, this seems incredibly stupid. Of course white pride is not the same as white supremacy. I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 00:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just checked dictionary.com. Indeed, supremacy != pride. Some of the related comments were way out of line. Surprising the PC culture around here can't recognize such a fundamental difference. Tparameter (talk) 04:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
