Thanks! Dreadstar †

Let's all clarify something here

Let's make something clear, I will not allow anyone to attack women or make misogynist edits in Wikipedia, nor will I allow those that defend such edits. Dreadstar ☥ 06:11, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can do Homeslice

I'll craft an arb request in the morning. Appreciate you making it so easy. Arkon (talk) 06:23, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted this comment that I perceived as an uncivil personal attack, but upon further reflection I think everyone should read that this person called me 'homeslice' after I expressed my desire to protect women. I have to wonder what that means; is it an attack or is it a friendly comment meant to express brotherhood - well, I mean even though this editor is taking me to ArbCom...for what I don't know, but I guess we'll find out tomorrow. Well, depends on timezone, I guess. . Dreadstar ☥ 06:37, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone interested, here's the draft of this unbelievably solid ArbCom case against me. How will I ever survive this? Thank all the gods it's not....nooo.....pseudoscience!!! NOOOOO! Dreadstar ☥ 07:19, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

God in heaven, I'm starting to actually become fond of being called Homeslice. Is that wrong??? And apparently, I'm the 'can-do' of homeslices...wow, how could I have ever been insulted by that total compliment!!! Ah, poor polly, you had nice plummage and I knew ye less for that....*sob*. Just please don't tell me...I'm....Honkytonk Homeslice - Dreadstar ☥ 07:28, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Arkon's reverts & CS Darrow's block

Hi Dreadstar - I'm just noticing that Arkon has twice reverted your redaction of CSDarrow's rhetoric. Men's rights pages are however under 1RR[1]--Cailil ^talk 10:13, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also I might add when I reported (what I still think was only a borderline BLP violation) my concern was not just WRT the "lunatic" bit. The real BLP problem IMHO was the description of the author of the source, Richard Dunphy (who's a senior lecturer at the University of Dundee). Which is a clear breach of WP:BLPTALK and untrue. However even given that I wouldn't have gone straight to indef just for the BLP edits (I know you've included disruption but you might want to clarify that for a reviewing admin). I know i'm involved but even I would suggest reducing that block. BTW on a purely technical question is that block covered by AC/DS or the normal BLP policy (I'm just interested to know)?--Cailil ^talk 10:35, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was the history of the user in question that added to the block time. And, hey thanks for your support, just be careful and don't get yourself into hot water. Dreadstar ☥ 10:41, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
