I like it, and I started a list on your user page of people who do. Just letting you know I edited your user page :-S Karwynn 17:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I don't really want to start holding polls on my user page. If you really feel strongly about it, you may want to see the spoiler talk page to start a motion to change it.

Aight, sorry :-( Maybe I'll do that. Psycho Master (Karwynn) 21:02, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it's no harm. Just personal preference. :-) Thanks though. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 21:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why I feel so compelled to contribute and edit this place. I think it's because I use it 100x a day, and feel a need to expand it and make it better. Thanks for the note, it made my hour. It's good to know people are actually watching. :) DakPowers (Talk) 18:06, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't even think about the colors until I went back to my talk page :P DakPowers (Talk) 18:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey LV, I noticed the list on your user page recently. I just saw another user that the death eaters may wanna keep an eye on, "Parsssseltongue". Regards -MrFizyx 01:13, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!!! --You Know Who ^{(Dark Mark)} 01:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, Must be an edit conflict, it was dont the same minute. BTW how can I leave your kind of messege? I like it better. --Shlomke 02:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes those. what I use (only sometimes when I decide to patrol) is this RC patrol scrip, which gives me other options. They are all inserted with a click of a botton which are on the top of the user page when in edit mode.

i'm sorry if it came across wrong, it looked like the edit was comparing someone to brian peppers (an attack on that someone, as well as an attack on brian peppers). Justforasecond 17:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gee, the bot isn't a registered trademark.... yet... but its doing fairly well, its got some massive editcount right now (but who'se counting) - I think it's passed Tawkerbot(1) now :o - -- Tawker 14:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Appeared to be a subtle change. Will keep an eye on things like that. Thanks for the heads up. Rsm99833 23:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One thing I just did notice- because it's a British television show, shouldn't it be capitalized? Rsm99833 23:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But it was accurate. And accuracy is what we seek. Metrocat 18:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First, you're kidding about the rules. That was a joke right? Second, pretending to be a person's friend while you stick them in the back, is considered a pretty serious offense in most circles. And did you say "Dispute Resolution"? Say it again, I'm not sure if I heard you or not.

Don't call me 'friend'. Metrocat 19:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, yes, hmmmm. Oh, by the way, Old Chap, or young as the case may be, what exactly is a Voldemort? Cheerio! Metrocat 13:27, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some of my favorite books are children's books although I'm only a child at heart. I was still reading 'Charlotte's Web' when I was 27 years old, and would now if I had the time. 'Alice in Wonderland' is another one of my favorites. Thanks. Metrocat 14:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yah, I'm not sure what I did there to your Rfa...but of course I support you...I hope I did vote support earlier...I've been somewhat reduced in the amount of time I have online this past week, so I was a bit rusty. Best wishes!--MONGO 03:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I was expecting somebody to do it, and I'm flattered that it was you (maybe watching me closely...); but, the edit summary raised the bar from merely "adorable" (which I've come to expect from the human gummi-bear that is Lord Voldemort) to the "sublimely hilarious!" I'm just glad I caught it in the history! Hugs and kisses, Xoloz 15:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The more I think about it, the more I see your point of view. I'm think I'm just a tad slow and have been confused by the sideways arrow icon not realizing what it means for a second. But you're right, if it were that big of a deal to me, I probably could have just changed it. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 22:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, yeah. Exactly. I can see you are a real trustworthy dude. Metrocat 03:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow I never thought of it like that before... you're right the point isn't to try to make wikipedia a better place the point is to make it a better encyclopedia, and we shouldn't be spending our valuable time fighting with other users over stuff that doesn't involve making the wikipedia a better encyclopedia, we should be spending our time agruing about making articles better.

Yes, greetings Lord Voldemort! The Wiki experience has been a great travel. I just wish someone would come out with WIKI Editing for Windows to simplify all these tasks of editing and tracking work, etc. I would buy the software it if it was reasonable. And BTW, what is a "Dark Mark"? Been here a while and I still don't know what that is for. Enjoy your Day (and night too) ! JungleCat 22:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2004 U.S. presidential election controversy and irregularities

Not to be picky, but ...wouldn't something with controvery in the title constitute a non-encyclopedic article, especially if it could fit into other main articles about the election and such? Over half of that page is going to be pure speculation with no back up. Stanselmdoc 11:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No idea what Lord Voldebot will do. Just reserving it for possible future use. If I had to pick now, I would use it to do something simple, such as fixing double words words. But who knows?

I feel you have erred, and grossly. I am in stunned disbelief that this user's block has been lifted. How are his actions not in gross and complete violation of WikiPolicy? I am truly flabbergasted. He has said over and over again that he will "tone things down," and then he turns around and continues. I do not find this commont, as he posted on my talk page, to be sarcastic:

"Wait, maybe if I get a custom flag and domain name it will be considered completely legitimate!"

That, to me, is a deliberate and calculated, crass, vile attack on a sub-community of the gay-community that this user obviously has a distaste for. I hate to feel like I'm presuming, but actions speak louder than words, and his actions indicate such. How can we expect this user to respect articles if he has no respect for the factual and pertinent content therein? That comment was not just sarcastic, it was cruel, and it was meant as a deliberate trivialization of the Bear Community and their flag. I get the insinuation - that a flag and a website to not legitimize something. But I just don't understand how this continued disrespect for others can be tolerated on wikipedia! Pacian 06:48, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, the quote above is more a criticism of Wikipedia in general, that is, it doesn't seem to take much to get an article included. Haizum 06:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I want to also say, I agree with you, that fighting gets us nowhere. I have been trying to maintain an extremely level head throughout this conflict. But there is absolutely no way I am backing down until the ultimate word has been reached on the matter. I cannot sit idley by while a user is allowed to mow down others, repeatedly, with constant warnings by those in authority, only to retreat and then resurface. I, and the other users of wikipedia, who do our best to be kind to others, deserve better. Pacian 06:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Level head? Please, you called me 'ignorant' in a number of ways on my talk page regarding a debate that I backed away from some time ago. If you didn't so that, we wouldn't be where we are right now. Haizum 06:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LV, I'm sorry about this clutter on your talk page. You can delete my comments at any time. Haizum 06:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Calling you ignorant was strong words that I stand by. You have yet to express an understanding as to what the Bear Community is, why it is historically important, and why the articel deserves to exist. And you never expressed your opinion. Saying "This is a vanity entry" is not an opinion, it's a statement of fact. One which you followed up by saying "You can't have a new entry for every time a gay man starts to look different." That statement indicates that you believe that we intend to create a new article every time there is a new trend in body types within the gay community, which has nothing to do with the Bear Community in the slightest. Now you are tossing out straw man arguments to back up your initial statements, and to try and make me look bad. I continue to accuse you of intentionally attacking the article, and other users, and I gave you every opportunity to explain yourself in my original post on your talk page. I wanted to understand your reasoning, even if I apparently didn't phrase things in the best way. You provided none, you just attacked me. How am I supposed to assume good faith now? Pacian 07:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My claim that the Bear Community was/is a vanity entry is an opinion, if it was/is a fact, it wouldn't be allowed to exist as an article per Wikipedia policy. Of course none of this matters because I'm not involved in the discussion anymore, nor do I intend to be. The "Bear" Community article has won, Haizum has lost. Haizum 07:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to AGF with me, I don't mind. The contextual definition of AGF has to do with editing, meaning, one ought AGF with a person's edits before reverting them on the basis of POV, etc. Plenty of editors get this confused. Haizum 07:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pacian was right, you just didn't deserve to be blocked for it. --kizzle 08:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, sort of. Haizum does need to learn to play with others better, but Pacian was bringing up stuff from like a month ago. And bringing it up with some harsh words. I would expect a little roughness back if I said some of the things that Pacian said to Haizum. But in the end, Haizum did not deserve to be blocked. Hopefully everyone can take a little away from this situation. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 14:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Read the comments on the Bear community page by Haizum for context, Pacian's comments from hurt were not constructed in a vacumn. If we are to explain Haizum "a little roughness" in return due to harsh words, than Pacian must be allowed the same privilege. However, blocking someone for asking about a contrib list is just plain wrong. But thanks for keeping heads cool on all sides LV :) --kizzle 04:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but a month had gone by, so it may have been a bit of a surprise for Haizum to get those comments. But oh well, I hope everything has blown over by now. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 13:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you have participated in Ann Coulter discussions in the past, please see here to cast your thoughts about whether Ann Coulter should be described as a "civil rights advocate" in the intro. --kizzle 07:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, why did you inform me?

I checked the deletion log, and saw that you were one of the admins who'd deleted previous versions of this: essentially, but not quite, random. In retrospect, though, I should have just left on the db-repost tag and let nature take its course. --Calton | Talk 00:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, so far it's cropped up under the following names that I know about:

• Pirate Party (US) (here)
• Pirate Party USA (here)
• Worldwide pirate parties (here)

Lord -- I didn't find anything about Bibliography in Talk. I think that in general, bibliographies belong at the end, just where the previous editor put them. But then bibliographies are usually lists of sources for an article, not lists of the author's works. The list of her work should probably be high up in the article, but maybe the name "Bibliography" isn't exactly right. The subject maybe merits some Talk, but once again, I didn't find any. Lou Sander 15:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was a rather weasely way to change some possibly importtant parts of the article - succeedecd>failed and such changes are tiny words but they can make a big difference in the right place. I won't re-revert if you see fit to leave it in. HawkerTyphoon 19:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, Lord Voldemort. I'm just interested about your ID Lord Voldemort. I'm also aHarry Potter fan like you. Ocassionally, I revert some sentences that are necessary, and already mentioned in the article also. I just want to award you a pretty star for you because you are always working hard in Wikipedia.

I didn't think people would be lining up to know who I was, but I just like to offer. By the way, how did you find out who I was? I think you my old name, did you just check his user page because of the name similarity? Or do you have a spy sattalite orbiting my house? :P Wikibout-Talk to me! 15:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now I do! That was the one thing I forgot when I created this guy... Oh! Of course! You're the most powerful wizard who ever lived! Did you use some spell on Samir? Wikibout-Talk to me! 15:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Grrr. I never even meant to make that edit. I made the new account in another tab while editing the user page, not realising it would change who was editing. But that will never happen again! Just watch... check my contribs in a second. Wikibout-Talk to me! 15:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, you might need to wait a few hours before the admins get to it. But look at my old accounds user page to discover my beautiful plan. The timebomb is ticking! The history, and my first contrib, will be gone! Hehe, I like User:Lord Voldemort/Good, but not quite as stunning. User:Lord Voldemort/Stunning is better though. :) But have you ever been to delectate arch, it really is breathtaking. Wikibout-Talk to me! 15:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The only actual thing being debated here is the credibility of the cited sources. I would like to shape this entire article up, condense the huge number of "advertising" type associated articles, most of which sit now in AfD debates and most of which have been decided by those debates to either be merged with this article and/or the "main" article, or to be deleted. Just now, about maybe an hour or so ago, I found a court listing that is NOT mnentioned here, either, and which DOES clear up a lot of questions. Most of cited sources are all one big publishing group and I don't mind telling the story here, factually, from an NPOV, but I don't want this article to be marketing the book as a product. There is a big difference. Hope this helps and here is link Talk:Authorship_of_A_Course_in_Miracles#Uhhh... Ste4k 04:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No offense, but don't really care. I just didn't get the whole "ACIM is POV" thing. I'll make another note on the apposite talk page. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 04:40, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good eye! I've read this stuff a dozen times, and I didn't see the duplication. Lou Sander 03:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing it. The talk page sure seemed awfully long, but I'm not yet very aware about how and when Wikipedia stuff gets archived, so I didn't say anything.

I've seen several mentions about a long and finally resolved debate about quotations being included in the Ann Coulter article. I think it would be a wonderful thing to have a record of that debate and its consensus available on the current talk page. But I don't know much more about it than what I've said here. I observe that people like to post her outrageous quotes, especially if they can be grouped to show her as a racist/sexist/homophobe. I also observe that although she is primarily notable for her acerbic criticisms of liberals and Democrats, there's not much posting/grouping of quotes on those subjects. Maybe the discussion referred to here would help us understand these things better. Lou Sander 16:54, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info on my talk page. I'll look for the Quotes discussion in the huge and ever-growing archive. If I can't find it, I might ask for help. Lou Sander 17:31, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see the "To Do" list, and I like it, especially the POV and peer review parts. But I don't know what to do about it, other than see it as a rational and desirable list. Can you help?

Full disclosure: As a very experienced professional writer, and as a teacher of logic and critical thinking at the college level, I know a point of view when I see it. I also have a large vocabulary of words to describe points of view and their manifestations, including specialist words in English, Latin and Greek (almost no further knowledge in the latter two languages, though). I have a LOT of confidence in my ability ruthlessly to eliminate my own points of view from my own work. When that ability fails, I appreciate being told about it.

More full disclosure: I HAVE a point of view about Ann Coulter, and I try hard to exclude it from my edits and comments. I SEE quite a bit of anti-Coulter point of view in the article and its edits, and when I see it, I sometimes speak out against its more egregious manifestations. I DO NOT see much pro-Coulter point of view in the article, but when it's in there, I'm in favor of removing it. I DO NOT think that being civil or fair to Ann, or in calling for others to do so, or in pointing out their bias/point of view, is expressing a point of view about her. I DO think that she deserves fairness and civility, just as we all do. I also think that the Ann Coulter article should be about Ann Coulter, and not about the views of her critics. Those views have a place, but it is a muted and very subsidiary place. Mostly it is in references that present those views, rather than in an encyclopedia article about Ann Coulter. Lou Sander 19:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Johnson's "Lost the South for a genreration: quote is apocryphal, but I think it belongs in the Civil Rights Act or 1964 and the Democratic Party articles, especially if it's prefaced by "Legend has it" or something like that. rjensen has a political agenda. I hope you will help me prevent him from striking it from those articles. Griot 23:00, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm feeling rather generous toward Eric today, since he and I share the same opinion of our neighbors who brought back half the fireworks in Indiana and spent all night on th fourth setting them off.

It was just an honest warm-hearted thing to say. Your saying it took courage. I don't know if I am a Xed sympathiser because I don't know Xed. I am a strong supporter of integrity, honor, courage, and justice.

It was started in the 1820's while the Conservative party of Britain was started in 1830. it doesn't matter what year in the 1820's it was started becuase all of those years are before 1830. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ledzeppelin321295 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 13 July 2006.

Well, History of the Conservative Party states that it had its roots in the late 1600s, so I do not know. I'll inquire on the Democratic talk page. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 21:39, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think somebody has just earned himself an *applause*! :) Seriously, dear LV, I've found myself slapping my own hands to keep away from updating DYK, since I regard it as an admin-only prerogative, and you're absolutely right re. the current backlog. I gladly offer myself to help if needed, as long as you or other admins with experience in the area watch me and tell me if I'm messing up. Have a great weekend! Big hugs, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 00:48, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded, thanks for that notice, much appreciated... DYK is such a wonderful program, and can use all the help it can get. Oh, and dear Phaedriel, you'll be updating DYK yourself before you know it. :) ++Lar: t/c 14:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for taking over updating DYK lately. Unfortunately, I was too busy with other stuff to continue doing it. Here, have a flowery thanks from me too. :) - Mgm|^(talk) 08:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... well, I don't mind doing it, but I'll be busy the next few days, so I don't know how often I will be available to update, but expect me back afterwards. Sorry, and THANKS for the flowers!!! --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 12:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, good point. I've actually never really used the 'show preview' button down there before. But I tried it a couple of times, and it seems to work well. I guess that's better than posting something and then realizing you made a mistake so you have to edit again. Cheers! Dr. Cash 21:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy,

Yes, a line that corny always comes with a request for something. ;) I'm kinda ignoring your away message because you've contributed often enough lately for me to see you: DRV of July 1 has a thorny little thing that needs closing. It's likely to stir some weird passions, and the regular DRV closers are all commenters, and thus ineligible. When I think of someone with the wisdom and the esteem to manage closing it cleanly, I think of you. :) I understand if you don't want to step into a pile of poo, but I thought I'd ask. Wiki-Love, Xoloz 17:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing I know of from AN/I is the criticism of me that arose from a previous DRV on a WP:ASR matter, Be Bold and be bold. This resulted in my first received wiki-death threat ;) (sorta.) That explains why I am not closing this one, but is otherwise irrelevant, I think. Of course, there may have been something else that I missed, since I've avoided AN/I after that incident. Wiki-love, Xoloz 19:46, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry LV, I just assumed that Ghirlandajo would have weeded out the stubs before I got there (the Zigong museum one was a stub and actually wasn't expanded from a stub in the last 5 days), so I 'm sorry about that one. In the diff you showed me, I also picked Louis Wagner without checking because I thought someone would have already complained about it not having sources, so if you look two diffs later, I removed the Wagner one and replaced it with woundfin. I guess on the bright side it shows my confidence in the other veterans of WP, but I should be more cautious in future. I've done it three times before I think...Thanks for keeping me alert, Blnguyen | rant-line 00:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Yeah, I forgot to remove this notice. Thank you for fixing stuff despite it being there.  Grue  20:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just taking this opportunity to thank you for removing the excessive number of user subpages I listed for deletion. Thanks! Cheers, Killfest2 ^(Talk) 03:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm mystified why my stating that the governments of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala were dictatorial or repressive in the early 1980s keeps getting reverted. Why is it POV to state that a country that tortures its own citizens and jails political prisoners en masse is dictatorial or repressive? Are you familiar with the history of those countries? As the Republican Party article stands now, it sounds like Reagan was supporting minutemen patriots against evil communists. That simply wasn't the case. If I write a detailed description of the governments of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala cirac 1982 on the Republican Party Talk page, will you consider not reverting? It gets tiresome always having to remove the Boy Scout aspect from American history articles at Wiki. Griot 20:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• The problem with "just leaving out the adjectives and letting the readers decide for themselves" is that, in this case, a reader who has no context will get the wrong idea. It sounds like Reagan was fighting an anti-communist war, when really he was doing that and backing some very, very repressive governments. The sentence reads: "Most Democrats doggedly opposed Reagan's efforts to support the Contra guerrillas against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, and to support the governments of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador against Communist guerrilla movements." It sounds like spineless Democrats wouldn't come to the aid of freedom fighters, when really it was much more complex than that, as the gov'ts of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala were atrocious. Maybe you can think of a way to make this clear without resorting to an adjective. Griot 20:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please explain why you have repeatedly removed the Dabid Letterman quotation from the intro of this article. The letterman show is watched by millions of viewers around the globe and as such is THE most exposure Anne Coulter has had in the mass media so far. There are two other humourous quotes from an uncited source and from a rarely red English Newspaper whose circulation is paltry and certainly not considered mass media!

Is your right wing POV clouding your judgement here as i have not recieved a coherent explanation from you yet:

"Actually, Blumby, you are the one that does not have consensus to include this... especially in the intro."

I really don't care if I have the consensus or not, i'm not in this for personal gratification (unlike yourself i fear), i am reporting a widely circulated and RELEVANT quotation from the AMERICAN media. It is not my opinion of Anne Coulter, i do not make judgements, i just report the facts.

Please provide a coherent explanation for your actions. I will hold off re-editing the article until this is given as i really don't want to be petty about this.

Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blumby (talk • contribs) 10:35, 24 July 2006.

Yeah thanks for the reply. What twaddle. Typical, another internet phenomenon hijacked by right wing self gratification seekers. Strike one contributor from the list. comment was added by Blumby

Wow (must...resist...sarcastic comment...). --kizzle 18:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fact via consensus is dubious at best, personally i prefer fact via evidence, which is why Wikipedia will never be Brittanica, who exactly said Coulter is the "Republican Michael Moore". Erm....some guy....erm oh i dunno but it sounds right don't it = CONSENSUS.

Who called her "an inconvenient bitch" on Live TV in front of 10s of millions? David Letterman = FACT.Blumby

Come up with a reasoned argument and stop acting like a petulant teenager Voldemort.

Fair Enough Voldermort but prey tell why you didn't remove the other quotes also. Thanks so much and have a great day Buddy. :) I think you're special too. :)

Fair enough mate. Sleep well.

Hi - on what subject? If it's Wart-biter, I'm only drivebying that article at the moment. I've added a couple more sentences and I think we might be up to 1000 chars now? SP-KP 19:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking. Is it 1000 words, or characters? Out of interest, do you c&p the article into a WP to do the check, or is there a faciity within WP that does it? SP-KP 19:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What... 150 was just too big? [2] ;-) Is there an actual reason for the 149 that I might not know about (Width of the Main Page or something) or was it just a whim? Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 23:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For this particular image, setting the width at 149px results in a height of exactly 100px. —David Levy 00:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A-ha. I gotcha now. Thanks. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 00:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just told him that hes a moron,since he insulted me,saying that Im racist.How come you dont warn him not to insult me and not to call me racist?? He should either prove that Im racist(by showing what racist I said) or apologize to me. I hope that you will warn him about this.Thank you.

Ice Cold 15:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

O,dont worry,I`ve been indefinetly blocked like 20 time over these last few years,but,as you know,you can never block someone forever,since the very second Im indefinetly blocked,I just make another account.

Anyways,as you may noticed,I was trying to act very nice with this latest Ice Cold name and I didnt attack no one.You may also noticed that this guy attacked me in a personal way and called me a racist!!! I know I should have reported him,since he would have been probably blocked for insulting me,but I just couldnt resist defending myself and telling him that hes acting like a moron.I realize that now I cant get him blocked(without gettin myself blocked to),since I did the same thing as he did.

You know, it can be hard to just sit and read someone throwing insults at you,so I just responded in the same manner,but I agree it was wrong.
