Sesame Street fiction bibliography
This message is regarding your vote to keep Sesame Street fiction bibliography. When an article is deleted and you would rather have it kept, put it on Deletion review, not on the Afd's talk page. Georgia guy 16:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm sick of fighting deletionists on this, go ahead and drive volunteers away, I'm sure it will make for a better encyclopedia. Benjiboi

Re: Crocker; Blindly Accusing Others of Acting in Bad Faith
Your accusation of me not acting in good faith is, in fact, not in good faith. As indicated on the article history and the previosu AFD, it seems that anyone you disagree with is labeled as "not acting in good faith." So cut it out and discuss the merits. Devilyouknow 22:23, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Very happy to discuss as is evident throughout the history on the article and my involvement in it. I think anyone who looks at my actions will see that I have made every efforts at communicating and quickly addressing concerns to make the article better. Also, I wrote easily seen as not in good faith so I apologize as I didn't mean to accuse you of anything including not acting in good faith but I was trying to express that it was hard for me to see your edits as constructive. You may have some valid points but as other editors before (and after) me have pointed out those edits were too sweeping and doing so without discussion and consensus first seems to violate the collaborative nature of how articles are created and improved. Benjiboi 22:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. (Re: Chris Crocker)
Just a note to thank you sincerely for the last weeks of work you've done on the Crocker page. It's been brilliant to watch. Your emotional sanity and precision of thought as an editor is inspirational. Congratulations, from Tim and Tom in Bath, England. (timon.goode@btopenworld.com -- to sign off politely, but please don't waste your time replying!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.251.2 (talk) 16:51, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, that's very nice of you and I appreciate it! I think Crocker's story is fascinating on several levels and I fought for the article not to be deleted in the first place and now, while I have the energy, I'm trying to help develop it into a good article that captures some of the implications of his story and work. Thank you again! Benjiboi 17:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Crocker nudes
Funny. They were there earlier today when I created that subsection and within minutes/an hour, the blog removed them. WP effect? They say it's because of his age but his WP article is being watched by many, interesting people so it wouldn't surprise me. I'm glad I saved them before they removed them! 17 is legal in Mississippi! haha :] --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  19:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The internet teaches us all! Benjiboi 21:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't it be more appropriate to remove soft-porn and replace with naked or nude ? --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  06:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well they are pornographic (intended to arouse), I would actually add naked in there somewhere as nude in in the section header. This also is in keeping with early bio info not yet introduced that he he was (is?) a porndoggie of sorts. In his e-zine days he'd get flamed for posting racy photos. I think this is also quite common for younger folks on the internet to post and share naked photos of themselves. I don't see it as that big of deal. Benjiboi 06:47, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait until his webcam j/o sessions surface... they are out there, someone saved them, it's only a matter of time. --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  07:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Crocker and hedonism
I'm not reading that in the source. The part about attention-seeking mongers seems to be a statement made by the writer, Steve Rivera, rather than by the psychologist Kevin Leman. I'm reading it as Rivera making that correlation and following it with what Leman actually said. That's why I removed it.. that reason and the edit war with the other user over removing that whole section. --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  01:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Respectfully disagree although your point is valid that thoe quote marks certainly imply Leman said those exact words. These are the last three paragraphs -

Imagine all the starving and struggling actors out there thinking that's all it took - a video, the Internet and the loss of self-respect. "We've become so hedonistic that whatever satisfies that need inside of us (to make yourself known), we go and push the envelope even higher," Leman said.

This is what the world has come to: attention-seeking mongers. "Every generation goes through things but not to the point of this," Leman said. "We've reached the all-time low."

My guess: We haven't reached that low just yet.


 * Based on this I think the easiest answer is to simplay removed the quotation marks and hope that that's enough. We need to have some criticism in the lede and I honestly feel Crocker is a good example of the changing path of fame so the content helps the reader see him within that framework. Benjiboi 01:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Works for me. --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  01:52, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Crocker
I think this line in the Response to FOX News section needs to be moved somewhere else since FOX News and Fox Reality are two seperate entities and one has nothing to do with the other: Later, in mid October 2007, Crocker went on top open Fox Reality channel's "Reality Remix Really Awards" in the shows introduction making reference to himself in the Britney video. I'll leave that to your judgement and handling. --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  13:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. The award show doesn't air until the end of this month so we'll get some report and more of his updates before then anyway. it was a good excuse to allow for expansion in the timeline though so that was a win-win. Benjiboi 08:30, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Beverly Hills
Can I ask what references you are considering for List of gay villages? I didnt see any. I am a resident of Beverly Hills and can say that although the city's attitude towards gays is friendly, there are no gay bars or any gay "scene" in the city at all. The city's gay population seems to be no different from the rest of the Westside, with the major exception of West Hollywood, which borders BH. Please get back to me. --Shamir1 03:55, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * My mistake, I'm not familiar enough with whether or not Beverly Hills should be included in that list but was in more "revert vandalism" mode so didn't notice your WP:V comment thus incorrectly thought it was just removing content without explanation. Please accept my apologies. Benjiboi 22:21, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Apologies not needed. You should note that the article needs more references. --Shamir1 19:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The article has been taged as needing cites. Frankly I think it needs a vast overhaul but my plate is full. Benjiboi 19:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

New to this, have a question, please (Re: Cheer, Dorothy, Cheer!)
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cheer%2C_Dorothy%2C_Cheer%21&action=history

In reference to this series of revisions, I am wondering why my revision was cited as spam? I can understand if you do not wish people to be tagged as links, but the video is mine, controlled from my youtube account. Should there not be credit given to the 'creator' of the content in which you use? Youtube may be the host, but it is my video.

Your thoughts on this matter would be greatly apprecicated. Billie Hawkins, myself@billiehawkins.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billiehawkins (talk • contribs) 10:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, no problem being new. In wikipedia world blogs and spam are essentially not great for building articles. I didn't remove credit, simply correctly attributed to its author rather than link to the billiehawkins.com website which didn't belong in the citation. Perhaps I shouldn't have called it spam and stuck to blog but frankly I didn't even look at the webpage as that's not where the content was being referenced. I simply corrected the information within the reference rather than deleting it altogether as I felt it does add to the article. Benjiboi 22:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the clarification, that makes total sense. - Billiehawkins —Preceding comment was added at 10:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Gay Transvestite Pic (Re: User:Benjiboi/LGBT image quest)
Hey, Benjiboi -- Just came across your Wikipedia LGBT imagae page, spotted the Transvestite collage, which is me. Curious how you dug it up? No problem that you use it, great, in fact! But how on earth did you discover it?

Luck,

Chris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.80.97 (talk) 17:17, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I was researching photos for a LGBT pic-o-the-day project and purposefully wanted to ensure some images covering T issues. I think I was searching through the Wikicommons but really don't remember. Benjiboi 17:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah! Nice seeing the pic serving a purpose. LGBT Image Portal is an excellent idea. Chris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.80.97 (talk) 12:26, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I gotta say...
Your response is a bit silly. Flooding the talk page with template warnings is pointy and bitey. One serious warning (or even a personalized message) would be sufficient to get the point acrost. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 17:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I had put in a request at the vandalism noticeboard which was removed without notice to me - the summary was that no warnings had been given. I was attempting to provide some documentation that it wasn't a single vandalism but multiple across many user pages. Agreed I could have handled it better but also feel the admin could have simple messaged me stating that a user needs to be notified and then vandalize after that notice before any action takes place. that was news to me so I guess I've learned something. Also, ironically and in hindsight, this is exactly what that user was doing, multiple copies of the same message. Benjiboi 17:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I should have notified you, but I was in the middle of other things (work related) and it slipped my mind. ---J.S (T/C/WRE)  —Preceding comment was added at 19:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * NP, most of the vandalism has been reverted and, as stated I've learned something new about ensuring warning issued first then behavior after warnings is addressed. Benjiboi 20:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I too gotta say...
That your actions have been very unprofessional here at Wikipedia.I probably will have to report you, but want to research how you handle other articles. Your actions show clear evidence that you are trying to game the system by claiming 'incivility' when you, without explanation or reason did wholesale reversals on my edits of the Lonnie Frisbee article.

I'm sorry but you are very mistaken on the facts. You specifically stated that Lonnie Frisbee **founded** two ministries.

That is utterly untrue. But it does fit the narrative you are trying to force onto this story whether the facts comport or not.

I'll stop here and see if you're willing to at least confess to this sin. thank you.71.238.68.127 17:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Please don't come falsely claim things on my talk page. I never claimed Frisbee founded two ministries and I don't believe that is true and have stated such on the article talk pages where I suggest you stick to with content issues about that article rather than accusing others of misbehavior. Myself, and other editors, have and will continue to revert and edits which don't conform to wp standards including WP:NPOV, WP:RS and WP:V. Alleging that I have sinned also seems akin to a personal attacks so please stop. Benjiboi 17:29, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, we are all sinners. Trying to game the system once again by claiming victimhood status seems to be your stock in trade. You now have committed the sin of lying.

Here is your claim made minutes ago: "I never claimed Frisbee founded two ministries"

But here are your **exact** words: "Frisbee was both gay and the founder of two charismatic Christian denominations, Benjiboi 21:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)"

Please quit slandering me (even in your talk page), quit making false statements and then compounding the dishonesty by falsely claiming you did not make false statements. Finally, for the good of wikipdia, quit trying to force your POV on to articles and contort them to fit the narrative you want them to even if the facts won't cooperate with you. And please quit trying to game the system by claiming that you are always the aggrieved party. Thanks! 71.238.68.127 17:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * If I erred in a lengthy comment on a talk page I hereby apologize, I don't believe Frisbee founded two churches, I never did and still don't and have corrected my mistake on the statement (please note comment is stricken but not removed). No mistakes are excuses however, for your accusations and I again ask for you to please stop. Benjiboi 18:16, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Also to address your other points; you're welcome to report me, I have worked to remain civil despite your somewhat confrontational style; accusing me of game(ing) the system is unwarranted - all a freely able to edit on wp; I have explained, I believe, absolutely every edit and have taken extra steps to address concerns on your talk page as well as the talk page of the article. Even though I mistakenly stated Frisbee founded rather than sparked - I did so on the talk page responded to your heated comments, That same information should not be in the article as I have repeated several times. Your comment "claiming victimhood status seems to be your stock in trade" is a personal attack and is not appreciated and is also not allowed. if you can't remain civil then you are likely to be blocked. Benjiboi 20:43, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Image
I don't actually care about placing images right or left with one exception: if there is a list of bullet points, placing the image in front (left) of them wrecks the indent of the bullet points. I think this looks ugly and should be avoided. Thanks for your question. Str1977 (talk) 17:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I didn't ask if you care so much as I think we need to follow manual of style for image placement as it's likely to be reverted anyway I'm personally not that troubled so will save researching that MOS nuance for a later date. Benjiboi 17:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I would be very surprised if the MoS dictates that we need to place one image right, one left, one right one left or vice versa. If it would do that it is a stupid role and should be changed. If you are bent on going in zig-zag, we can also move the other images so that that one doesn't create the problem described. But frankly I don't see any MoS problem at all. Str1977 (talk) 22:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I was simply told that was image MOS and believed them. The article needs all sorts of help so sussing out images from side to side doesn't seem like that big of deal. I say leave it for now. If someone else is hot and botheered we can revisit the issue at that time. Benjiboi 22:07, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Thanks. Str1977 (talk) 22:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

List of gay villages
You certainly seem to be a very popular editor. Anyway, while looking at the list of villages I noticed that some cities which have their own municipality are included in the larger city it is a part of. For example, West Hollywood is a city on its own (has own municipal boundaries, mayor, city council, school system, police dept., etc.) although it is part of urban Los Angeles. The same goes with other cities. Should "Los Angeles" be written as its city, or perhaps Los Angeles County, or Los Angeles (urban), or for suburban villages Los Angeles (metro) ... just brainstorming. Perhaps there is no problem at all. We also have the option of changing the "City" title. --Shamir1 20:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Well popular is one thing beloved is quite another! I'll take a look, as long as it works I'm not bothered any one way. Each list can can also be independent and we should keep the "average reader"'s needs in mind. Benjiboi 21:16, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Do you know how it can be formatted in a way that the names of multiple villages can share one city in the box? --Shamir1 17:58, 28 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sure there's a way but I don't know how as of yet. Benjiboi 01:01, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Dealing with perceived vandalism
As an admin I am constantly dealing with vandalism. I have to proportion my time on this on the fly. I don't have the time to warn every vandal. I deal with each one on a case by case basis. Thanks for your input. -- No Guru 23:38, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Transgender Edits have been reverted
Gender was edited to reflect the fact that it is of Latin origin and has no anglo-saxon roots.

You continue with your anti-Catholic agenda in the Sister Roma article
You have seen fit to include a picture in the Sister Roma article which depicts an event mocking the Passion of Jesus Christ. The article is not about that event, it is about the drag fag Michael Williams. Whether or not Williams co-hosted that event is irrelevant. Articles about persons -- term used loosely in the case of Williams -- ought to have pictures of that person, not events s/he has hosted. The only reason you had for including the picture is to give presence and greater notoriety to an anti-Catholic event. In this way you fulfill your anti-Catholic agenda.

72.68.30.122 15:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * GREAT picture, Benjiboi! I laughed and laughed when I saw it. Too bad it wasn't a nekkid Jesus competition, though:( . And on a brighter note, at least the anon IP's homophobic vandalism now has the appropriate religious context. I thought it had something to do with a religious nutter's agenda.Jeffpw 15:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You laughed, and laughed? What exactly is so funny about that picture that it had you laughing, and laughing? 72.68.30.122 15:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Knowing what was gonna happen to Jesus next. :-P I must confess I got hard watching The Passion Of The Christ. Jeffpw 15:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You can't be faulted for watching the movie, but with that reaction perhaps therapy is indicated. 72.68.30.122 15:49, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I really just fast forwarded to the good parts. But those I watched over and over again, with some kleenex, lube and a bottle of poppers. Jeffpw 15:57, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Again, therapy is indicated for you. 72.68.30.122 16:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * But...it was therapy that made me this way! Jeffpw 16:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Mel Gibson did some last hours of Jesus film that was said to eroticize the crucifiction as well. I wonder if that's considered anti-Catholic or anti-Jesus or whatever. Benjiboi 21:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The image in question is at the anniversary of the group for which she is reportedly the most visible member, and she is clearly in the photo, microphone in hand, as an emcee which the article also refers. Please refrain from personal attacks against the subject of the article or any editors and assume good faith that editors are adding content appropriately. Your recent vandalism and now trolling criticism of those who have reverted your actions is not appreciated. In hindsight, however, I will thank you for helping push the Roma article into a much better state. I doubt that you are Roma but one could hardly ask for better results in that the article has vastly improved thanks to your efforts. As for accusing me of an anti-Catholicism agenda (not sure why crucifying Jesus is the sole domain of Catholicism) but no, I have little interest in defending nor attacking Catholicism and them seem to have plenty of supporters like yourself eager to label things they don't approve. You'd do better to actually read the many articles on the subject that assert that Roma and her group are more parodying Catholic iconography then attacking them and indeed have regularly supported the Catholic church. Benjiboi 18:57, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Your statements on Catholicism and Williams and his group defending it are so ludicrous they don't even deserve a reply. You and others like you impose your own political matrix on the Church, as when using terms like "Catholic iconography" which are meaningless in view of the meaning of the term "icon" in the Catholic sense.  If all my statements are "what it took" to push the Roma article into what you consider a much better state, then shame on all of you.  Its current state is disreputable and remains in need of correct sourcing.  May I quote you, honey: "The article was pre-gutted before the anon IP showed up but now it's a just a reffed mess. I'm so embarrassed for us all. Benjiboi 15:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)."  Thanks for your attention, honey. 72.68.30.122 21:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Please assume good faith and save your soapboxing for some other venue, this is an encyclopedia and not a forum for whatever agenda you seem to be working through although I do wonder why you're so very concerned with gay porn and drag nuns. The comment of mine you cite above was when article had been vectored down to one paragraph or so. Regardless you do deserve credit for so much attention being brought to the article. If you have any concerns about sources please feel free to cite which ones are faulty and I'll be very happy to re-confirm their content and what they assert in the article. Benjiboi 21:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You shouldn't have to re-confirm content; it should be right in the first place, when you first post it. No matter, others much smarter than I have undertaken the task of cleaning up your errors.  I would not talk about soapboxing if I were you -- you do it surreptitiously. It's quite impossible to assume good faith with you.  72.68.30.122 22:24, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Spanner Trust/Kellen Farshea
campaigners have argued that in terms of public acceptance of SM, community awareness and political support - the campaign was a brilliant success. It helped to change the political climate regarding consenual adult sex. And helped to create an international SM community. Among the organisations that developed out of this climate was SMDykes, SM Bisexuals, The Sexual Freedom Coalition, The Annual SM Pride Weekend and The Spanner Trust.

Gay and lesbian retirement again
Don't know if you've seen it but someone re-created the article. Did the deletion review close? --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  23:38, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as I know Fireplace did it out of frustration, which is valid but I have so many notes I want to still type up and then go forward with the effort of a totally makeover. I keep thinking the timing is good and it would be nice to have a good parent article with retirement issues branching off of it. It all needs to be a bit more inclusive as well as LGBTI issues are interelated when it comes to housing, legal, health et al, etc. Benjiboi 00:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

In an editorial dispute, please do not place warning templates on the talk pages of users, as you did on User_talk:Motz5768}}. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Sandbox for test edits. Cheers, Motz5768 12:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The above with a small wink, of course. Just reminding you that there is no need to paste warning templates here and I feel offended by your use of that template. I am not a vandal, and I do not appreciate such warnings. Nor do I expect you to appreciate the above warning, and I absolutely don't mind you removing it (it is meant in a sarcastic way). Thank you. --Motz5768 12:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Your repeated removal of a wikiproject tag was indeed vandalistic and I think, you'll find, mistaken. If the WBC have done anything it's bring a lot of otherwise fractious groups together against them. Fred Phelps apparently hates Jews as much as fags. Benjiboi 12:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * See article talk page (let's keep the discussion in one place). I think you're right, indeed. But then again, is there anything in the entire world they do *not* hate?! --Motz5768 12:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Category:Christian ministers
Hi. I am pleased to be in collaboration with you on Category:Christian ministers. As I understand category guidelines, articles generally should not be in both a category and one or more of its subcategories. I have been adding articles to appropriate sub-categories of this category, making the category less difficult to navigate. There are very good subcats of Category:Christian ministers to use for this purpose. Do you agree this is a good way to proceed? 72.69.207.11 15:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Please reply on my talk page. Thanks you. 72.69.207.11 15:04, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Category clean-up is not my specialty but I would first suggest you provide an edit summary every time you add or remove content, especially categories so other editors have a clue. I'm also concerned that soem of your clean-up seemed to be simply removing minister from any MCC churches (the "gay" denomination) or recategorizing bios as clergy rather than minister, which seemed POV but certainly might be appropriate depending on the circumstances. I'm more comfortable leaving a category in error than removing a category that might help a reader find an article they seek; we are here to serve the readers and not anyone else.

Heklina
Hey Benjiboi, could you please help me verify the page for Heklina. You seem to have a lot of knowledge of the popular San Francisco Drag Queens. They want to delete it and its not right. The same thing happen when I created the Sister Roma page and they wanted to delete it. But know because of you and other people, she has stayed on the site with a lot more information. Thank you for your time. Sincerely sfdrag, Sfdrag (talk • contribs) 09:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I've made a bunch of fixes but we should add more content. Benjiboi 10:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

WP:AIV
Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. -- RG2 23:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, the vandalism templates are bewildering, which one should I use to give a final warning? Benjiboi 00:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Update, follow warning link above and look for multi-level. Benjiboi 00:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Anon IP
It seems we've made a friend. :-) Jeffpw 22:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem like the same last one although several patterns (incessant reverts and floating IP) are identical. Maybe they're boyfriends? In any case the last one helped Sister Roma become a great stubby so let's see what happens! (so exciting!) Benjiboi 22:43, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I followed your suggestion and moved the religion down. I didn't know he was editing the article himself, along with his cohorts. No wonder the anon IP is so belligerent. It wouldn't surprise me if it was Lucas himself. Jeffpw 17:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It really intrigues me who is sooo very upset about some of this stuff. I do doubt it's Lucas as his style seems to be much more grandiose so simply snipping one bit here and there wouldn't seem grand enough. By the way I recently heard about a gay orgy porn of the last supper, that would seem to warrant some coverage. Ever heard of it? Benjiboi 18:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you poke around, you'll see there have been several COI discussions about this article, and that's one of the reasons it has long term semi-protection. Apparently, he has encouraged his "fans" to come here and edit along with him. I read his blog once, and was immediately turned off by him. Then I read the article and was even more so.
 * I'll have a little looksee tonight to see if I can find any porno Last Suppers. I wonder what they had for dessert? Jeffpw 18:06, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * And I forgot to add: I'm curious as hell to see how Mangojuice reacts when he sees that the anon IP evaded the block he gave him and posted on his page again. It's the little things, Benjiboi, that give one the most pleasure. :-D Jeffpw 18:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * lol. How controversial does one have to be to be considered controversial by other porn stars? Lucas is certainly special but if he produces good art then bless his horny soul. I hope the word sinsational is amongst the reviews! And I do think this is the same or sock of our last anon IP. All the gay porn articles could stand some improving though so maybe this anon is just what they need. Benjiboi 18:12, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * He's stalking me, too. This guy is more pathological than I had already thought. I messaged Mango, too, and will take further actions, if necessary. I'll also be patrolling your contributions, to make sure you're not being stalked. You might want to post about this to WP:LBGT. Jeffpw 20:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)stalin
 * Well luckily I'm all over the place so good luck stalking me! Let me know if something official needs comment, I archived all the original round just in case. Benjiboi 20:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Posted on ANI. He's adding fact tage to the Sister Roma article. I checked the refs, and they do support the assertions. Please weigh in at ANI. Jeffpw 21:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
