"If you think it is appropriate to use your user page to attack me" by Larry Sanger, formatting by The Cunctator
- (If you think it is appropriate to use your user page to attack me,
- I insist that
- I be given equal time
- to defend myself.
- Feel free
- to delete the following from this page
- only if you delete the above attack on me.
- -- Apologies, of course,
- to those who think that it's a mistake to defend myself. --LMS)
- Really, really bad idea
- nay,
- a breathtakingly
- idiotic
- idea:
- idiotic
- constantly
- shooting yourself in the foot by
- constantly
- using inflammatory language,
- such as "fear-based," above, instead of trying to engage people with whom you disagree
- in polite,
- reasoned
- dialogue.
- reasoned
- The Wikipedia Militia notion isn't fear-based.
- If you think it is, you
- just
- don't
- get it.
- don't
- I'm not engaging in fear-mongering.
- I'm trying, in what was intended to be a lighthearted way
- (until you came along and spun it in a way that made me look as bad as possible),
- to get people turned on to the idea of
- doing a whole lot of work
- whenever the time comes
- to make sure that
- a huge crop of misguided new people
- do not ruin Wikipedia--
- as
- they
- could.
- they
- Most people who arrive "get it."
- There is always
- a minority who don't,
- and they need
- teaching and dissuading from doing
- really
- damaging
- edits.
- damaging
- The above sort of comment, Cunctator, borders on
- libel
- (because not only is it
- false,
- it's outrageously
- false
- and completely insulting,
- and seems
- designed
- to damage
- my reputation).
- to damage
- This frankly
- outrages me
- and wastes
- me
- time.
- me
- I maintain that I am
- a very
- reasonable
- person.
- reasonable
- If you reasonably raise a point, I will reasonably respond.
- If you accuse
- me of "fear mongering" and "a bunker mentality" such that "a red flag should be going up,"
- as you are
- constantly
- doing,
- then you cannot expect me to take you seriously.
- So stop it, already.
- Treat me nicely, and I
- will treat
- you
- nicely.
- you
