Welcome, Doctor Faust!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Re: Genocode

[edit]

Please stop adding the term unless you can back it's prevalence up with good references. Thanks, Vsmith 02:41, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would appreciate it if you would specify my alleged "attack" on an editor. The idea that anything I have written could be construed as uncivil or an "attack" is laughable. I will continue to express my opinions. If anyone does not appreciate this, I think I can live with it. And by the way, the idea that truth can be determined by majority opinion is a concept made popular in Germany in the 1930's.Doctor Faust 21:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote (to and about ClockworkSoul):

he is on a power trip. His ego apparently can not tolerate the possibility that there may be something about this subject of which he was unaware.

Which is hardly a constructive tone or level of debate on an academic subject. And now you seem headed towards Godwinizing yourself here. Feel free to argue with facts. OTOH, WP actually does make desicions about content and inclusion at least in part by consensus. Note that "whether to include" is entirely unrelated to that, so your concerns about "truth by majority" are not at issue here. DMacks 22:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your email

[edit]

Hello, Doctor Faust.

I'm writing you here to let you know that I've received your email. Because its purpose was to discuss page content, I've decided that it's more appropriate to reply to open the conversation up to the entire community and to discuss your citations on the talk page for Genetic Code. You can view and respond to my reply there. – ClockworkSoul 12:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - email received, but I see Clockwork has already adequately addressed the issue. Glad that you survived that long time ago fiasco - remember those who didn't. Cheers, Vsmith 13:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that you check your Wikipedia messages eventually... I'm not keen on receiving abusive emails from impatient users. I'm sure that you understand. – ClockworkSoul 13:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to what ClockworkSoul alleges, to anyone with a normal-sized ego, my email was not abusive...sarcastic, yes, abusive, no. But of course ClockworkSoul's relatve youth may contribute to his thin skin. Doctor Faust 21:20, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Faust, I'm still receiving your emails, and I'm really left somewhat surprised that you seem so wounded over such a minor point. As you've so kindly pointed out, I am a mere thirty-one years of age. I can only assume that this is the reason why I've never before met a person so willing to engage me on so trivial an issue. I would have thought was that a person as intelligent and passionate as yourself would have far better things to do than to draft and email wry provocations to other editors, but as much as I would love to assist you by presenting myself as your willing casus belli, I really don't have the time to spare exchanging thinly veiled barbs with you. If you have a case to make regarding the addition of "genocode", please do so on the genetic code talk page. However, if I be be so presumptuous as to offer advice to one who has made it quite clear that he thinks himself my chronological and intellectual superior, you would do best to avoid making further ad hominem attacks: they only serve to weaken your position. Without sarcasm, I wish you the best of luck. – ClockworkSoul 00:54, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of warning messages

[edit]

Please do not remove legitimate warnings from your talk page or replace them with inappropriate content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted legitimate comments. If you continue to remove or vandalize legitimate warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. DMacks 15:30, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ya wohl, Mein Fuhrer! Not only is this pathetic excuse for an encyclopedia an intellectual joke, it is repressive and fascistic. One can not even delete comments from one's own talk page. DMack's thuggish threats are very scary. Doctor Faust 22:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • DMacks is also discriminating against me because he is offended by comments which I made critical of him and his intellectual qualifications. Why else, in the absence of any ongoing discussion, would he make it a point to visit my talk page and threaten me? He has deliberately chosen to monitor my talk page, much like a Nazi censor would have in a previous time. His motivation is personal, discriminatory, and petty. But then, I suppose such a person would have little else to occupy his time. By the way, Herr Macks, since you are obviously also Herr Wiki, could you please advise me as to the procedure for cancelling my Wikipedia account and deleting my user name? This site gives mediocre minds a bad name. Doctor Faust 21:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not just DMacks: your poor attitude and lack of constructive contributions has put you on the "troll radar", so to speak. User accounts cannot be deleted, but if you like, you may simply leave. – ClockworkSoul 22:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. YOU PATHETIC SACKS OF SHIT. NOW: IF YOU LIKE, YOU MAY GO FUCK YOURSELF. Doctor Faust 02:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
