You are seeing this because in my patrols for vandalism, I saw you had edited a page. I also noticed that your talk page (this page) had a red link. That meant that the talk page didn't exist yet. I am sorry you can't eat the cookies, but they are still fresh. If you find a way to enjoy them, let me know. Will (Talk - contribs) 07:08, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

No vandalism allowed
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Debate
We all occasionally come across points of discussion which we feel would benefit from simultaneous exposition of counter-argument. That's what debate is for, see? That's why grown-ups present their arguments instead of sulking behind anonymous I.P. addresses and deleting anything that scares them because they either don't understand or don't like it.

Do you know what the Communist party did with books of philosophy that they feared people reading, or that they disagreed with but couldn't form a convincing argument against? They burned them. They burned them and then tried to pretend those points of view had never existed. The Nazis did the same thing in the 1930s actually. And now the user of 80.225.110.84 employs the same technique on Wikipedia... Unfortunately for him, Wikipedia's history is not so easy to rewrite. --JamesTheNumberless 11:07, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
