Sad

Couldn't even get through the answer to the first question without launching an attack on another editor. Sad. Dlabtot (talk) 07:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Dlabtot, first, he's being open about not caring about civility. That is a principled stand, which I respect a lot more than just breaking it. Second, civility is not the deeper issue, which I'd hope the community would come and discuss. ——Martin^phi ☎ Ψ Φ—— 08:48, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

It's a mistake to get hung up on 'civility' as if reasonable discourse were all about some kindergarten code of conduct. I didn't say anything about civility and I wasn't raising any issue of civility. There is absolutely nothing uncivil about the language or tone of SA's remarks. All I did was comment on that I found it sad that in response to a question about introducing himself, he saw fit to attack you. True, the question also asks "What drew you to edit the "fringe" articles?" so maybe his response here shows that this is really more about a personal vendetta or issue between two editors than it really is some grand issue, I don't know. Maybe I was just hoping for something more interesting, informative, or insightful than another round of "he is a POV pusher". Dlabtot (talk) 09:53, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Since that is what Martin is, I'm pretty happy with my response. This is an interview, and in my estimation Martin should be totally banned from this encyclopedia. I think you should be too, but one thing at a time. ScienceApologist (talk) 15:29, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

For what reason? Dlabtot (talk) 16:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

What's that shiny thing you guys are dangling in front of SA? - 66.30.77.62 (talk) 16:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
