User talk:Paul Klenk

Welcome to my talk page.

I am glad to hear from you. Working with Wikipedians is an exciting opportunity to learn, engage, and grow in wisdom and truth. I welcome your questions, ideas and concerns. Please note:

• I seldom copy threads between talk pages; if this is a problem, just let me know.
• I move discussions to my archives rather quickly. However, I seldom archive attacks and insults.
• I prefer to discuss articles at their respective talk pages. Please leave your comments there and bring them to my attention here.
• I welcome private e-mails.
• I sometimes talk using my normal voice, and sometimes in a sort of silly, high-pitched whine.

This page has three ironclad rules:

File:Executive-ape.jpg

Rule One: No anonymous messages. Leave a user signature, a nickname (if.not.logged.in), or nothing at all.

Rule Two: Be civil. WP's many freedoms do not include personal attacks.

Rule Three: Don't make trouble. It wastes everyone's time and leads to a bad end.

Those are the rules. Please follow them.

Look what I just found! User:PaulKlenk, now blocked. You must have done something good. Dmcdevit·t 03:41, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

You can do a preemptive strike on the creation of these types of accounts by creating them yourself and then adding the doppelganger template (see User:Blank Verse). BlankVerse ∅ 21:39, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

I wonder who might have created that account and if there's anyway to find out????Gator1 22:53, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Current policy is to only do checks on suspected sock puppet accounts when there is a clear indication that it was created by someone who is under ArbComm sanctions. Only the developers and one ArbComm member can do such a check. The data itself, as I understand it, is only kept for a week. BlankVerse ∅ 23:08, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Interesting! I did not know that!Gator1 00:42, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

History

Hey remember this? Who says I don't have reason to support the RFC:

GATOR: "I thought it was POV against Coulter and I hate that."

SURE...

You know what, you don't know me and you ARE worked up about this, it's obvious. I used to get worked about this kind of stuff on Wikipedia too and learned that it's almost never worth the stress. And you know what else? I don't appreciate the implication that I'm lying! You know what the truth is? I like Coulter alot and am usually trying to figh my own personal POV on this one (with varied success). I see a lot of anti-Coulter edits here and I sometimes get hypersensitive about it. So I don't appreciate the implication OK? So when I said it was spin (and I stand by it) I really felt that your version made her look worse than the previous version. Maybe I'm wrong, I can admit it and there is support for your version and that's fine, I really didn't see a big enough difference to fight over it (just a quick revert and see how people reacted). That was just my take on it. If I knoew that I would be accused of being a secret lying liberal I wouldn't have bothered. This really is a small point, it really is. I've learned that there biggger fish to fry on Wikipedia and not everyone is opposed to you. We agree more than you realize (you can't tell me that picture with her and the gun isn't super hot! Whoever put it up probably thought it made her look bad and thought they were making fun of her, but what do they know!). Now you can either move on or write some mena remark again. Your choice. No hard feelings though and keep up the good work on the article.Gator1 02:14, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Funny huh?

Well, here's a reason to support Big Daddy. My well-appreciated work on the Ann Coulter page.

For example, in yet another attempt at eliminating a useless cheap slur, I've re-written the Bill Maher piece as follows:

Coulter has appeared several times on Bill Maher's cancelled program "Politically Incorrect". Maher has referred to her as "a friend of mine" yet often ganged up on her with other liberals when the conversation turned serious. While on the show she has been deliberately provocative, comparing, for example, actor Richard Belzer to Osama Bin Laden and saying the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote should be repealed.

Re: often ganged up on her with other liberals...

Paul, I'm not too crazy about that line either. I'm trying to convey something RELEVANT about Ann and Politically Incorrect and I think the best take away was how well she acquitted herself when fighting not only Maher, but 3 other liberals. It really did help broaden her support amongst conservatives. Feel free to re-edit this for clarity. Big Daddy 09:40, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

I wonder who keeps reverting my edits? Are they trying to start an edit war??? Big Daddy 09:19, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't know how long I will keep it up there (I don't want liberals sifting through our dumpster lol!) but, while it's there, how do you center it? Big Daddy 10:03, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
