Sarcasm but pointy sarcasm

Just saw your edit summary after replying. Please redact or give context to your completely inappropriate comment. --OnoremDil 22:38, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you click the link, you'll understand why your request is actually pretty ironic.--v/r - TP 12:36, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"I'd hit it"

Hey, I just happened to notice your comment on ANI from yesterday, where you said "I saw a hot 17 yr old girl downtown the other day. I'd hit it." Now, I know you were being deliberately provocative to make a point, but can I ask that you reconsider using language like "I'd hit it" (or, for that matter, commenting on women's hotness) on-wiki? It's a very lad mag, objectifying sort of way to refer to people, especially in a conversation that's semi-related to sexual victimization. Even in service of making a sarcastic point, it still brings the "female types not welcome here, we're busy judging whether we'd 'hit' you or not" temperature of the place up a notch. I know that wasn't what you were going for, at all, so I wanted to draw your attention to how it can feel to a woman who reads it. A fluffernutter is a sandwich!

Sorry Fluffy, that's not the message I was trying to put out. I'll keep it in mind in the future. I definitely agree that making Wikipedia welcoming for female editors is a good thing.--v/r - TP 21:05, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos

Just a note to say that I was impressed by your advice on AN/I to LGR re: Viriditas. Worth remembering, not just in the specific case, but generally as well. Well done. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:43, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I think you have done some nice things with this page but I am concerned that you seem to be trying to strip all links to websites about this topic - people who look up this page are naturally going to be interested in finding other websites on this topic and the only link you have left in is to Nova Roma - which is not the only website on this topic. I am in no way affiliated with the Cultus Deorum page, however I do think it is a good website which is why I included it under External Links. I really think it is very important, for the people who are interested practising contemporary Roman polytheism, that this entry include links to external websites on this topic.

So that you know - probably the best websites on the Religio Romana are: - https://sites.google.com/site/cultusdeorumromanorum/ - http://novaroma.org/nr/Cultus_deorum_Romanorum

Note that Nova Roma is an organisation that aims to recreate the structure of the Roman Republic, with the Religio Romana being part of this structure. Another organisation that aims to recreate the structure of the Roman state is the Res Publica Romana at respublica-romana.com. Note that many people who are on the path of the Roman way to the Gods are unaffiliated with either Nova Roma or the Res Publica Romana - worthy though these organisations are.

The best Religio Romana blogs, imo, are: - http://www.patheos.com/blogs/religioromana/ - http://romanpagan.blogspot.com/ - http://lases.blogspot.it/ - http://romanpolytheist.wordpress.com/ - http://goldentrail.wordpress.com/

Excellent free online translations of ancient Roman literature are available at: - http://www.naderlibrary.com/ (scroll down to classics) - http://poetryintranslation.com/index.html#Latin: - http://sacred-texts.com/cla/index.htm (scroll down to Roman)

For more resources on the Roman way to the Gods see: - https://sites.google.com/site/cultusdeorumromanorum/english/beginner-s-guides/beginners-guide-study - http://novaroma.org/nr/Reading_list_for_the_cultus_deorum - http://romanpagan.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/pagan-resources.html - http://religioandpietas.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/research-sources-for-cultus-deorum.html

I hope you will be considerate of the people who are genuinely on this path - and allow links to information about this path online to remain on wikipedia. Note again - I am not affiliated with Cultus Deorum.

Regards and best wishes, Ragnii
