Archiving your talk page
Moving your talk page into mainspace is not appropriate. I've made you an archive above, correctly located in your user talk space. Glen  04:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I was trying to figure out how to create an archive, and I guess I messed it up royaly. Thanks for your assistance.And the truth shall set you free! 00:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Your AMA case
Hi - I've just discovered your case awaiting an advocate (seemingly). I apologise for this slip-up, and would enquire whether the dispute is stil active, and if you would like to make a comment on the case page, for whichever advocate decides to take it. I should clarify that I will not be advocating for this case, though hopefully, should you still need one, we'll get you an advocate soon! Mart inp23 18:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Removing Sourced Content From The Tom McMahon Article
Hello. Please don't remove any content from this article without a good reason. The items are sourced. In the future please keep Tom McMahon's reelection campaign where it belongs. At his campaign and not on Wikipedia. Thank You. User:74.212.1.66

First and foremost, be sure to sign your posts. Secondly, it would appear to me that it is you who is bringing the re-election battle to this site. The information may be sourced, but the information removed is clearly sensationalized to accomplish whatever goal you have set for yourself. If you post here again without signing the post it will be deleted. If you add the information back to the McMahon page after it is deleted again the proper individuals here at Wikipedia will be contacted to handle the situation. I refuse to get into a sparring match with anyone, especially someone the likes of you who seems to have an ax to grind. And the truth shall set you free! 00:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Berksguy, there is nothing political about it. The statement came directly from the source. If the source were political as you claim, the wiki administrators would naturally consider The Reading Eagle an unreliable source. Eskog stated previously that The Reading Eagle is considered a reliable source. As for your demand for positive information, by all means go to town as long as it's sourced, and another thing to point out is the objective of articles are to be neutral. If you feel that the article is out of balance then add sourced positive information about Tom McMahon, but removing sourced facts about that person to obtain balance is censorship, and negates the aspects of creating an encyclopedia if all of the facts are not allowed to be displayed. I have researched Tom McMahon and other then some political blogs out there, there is no other sourced facts about McMahon other then his temper with things like The Marvel. User:Dirtybirdy78

You say that there is nothing political about your desire to put up the information concerning the Marvel Ranch. On the McMahon talk page you question my motives, but I ask you the same thing. Is it not ironic that with an election coming up you feel the need to make McMahon sound as bad as possible on his blog. Is it not ironic that you seem upset now that someone has done the research and added positive press about him. I have no political motives, I have no ties to Mayor McMahon, and I do not even live in the City of Reading. I am although tired of people who continue to bad mouth the man when he is doing a better job than any mayor in the past decade at least. I have found sourced material about McMahon that shows the kind of mayor he really is. I am sorry you do not like that. I am also happy to see that you are the same age as another wiki user assuming that the '78 in your name refers to your year of birth. It shows that many people your age seem to have an ax to grind with the older generation. I have to wonder if you, like the previous person with a '78' in their username do not even live within the city limits of Reading. And the truth shall set you free! 01:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Berksguy, I'm assuming that you are talking about Matt Heckman regarding the 78 next to my name? You really need to calm down about that. You have to stop assuming that everybody that edits an article that you disagree with be it personal, or political is Matt Heckman. The only axes I see that are grinding over here are coming from you. Please try to be a bit more objective in the future. User:Dirtybirdy78

I never stated that you were anyone. I find it interesting that every time even when the most remote coincidence is pointed out though that someone makes their way over here to accuse me. I have no ax to grind, but I will not stand for letting you or anyone else use this site as your own place to spread negativity. Please try to be objective in your evaluation of my statements in the future and be sure to respond to me on the page in question instead of running over here every time. If you have something to say, say it in front of everyone else. And the truth shall set you free! 22:06, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Gee Berksguy I was only commenting based on your history. Accusing people like Grand Mofo Wizard, and other anonymous posters of being Matt Heckman. You are quick to point out about people only editing your local hero Tom McMahon's page, and Al Boscov's page, but I check your history and you do the same thing. You should think before you attack what could be honest people wanted to state the facts. User:Dirtybirdy78

I question anonymous users. Do what you please. If you notice I have only initiated new material once or twice. I have spent a great deal of time making sure people like you and anonymous users do not deface and slander people. I have never touched Al Boscov's page. I have although continued to deal with you and others in terms of McMahon's page because you and others seem to have an ax to grind with him. Apparently you are all to much of a bunch of cowards to do something in real life so you would rather lurk around online.

This line of discussion on my talk page ends here. If you post here again and can not have the guts to continue this conversation on the talk page on the article in question your posts will be deleted. Good day :^) And the truth shall set you free! 22:06, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

No Personal Attacks
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Referring to me as a 'coward' is clearly a violation of the Wiki's 'no personal attack' rule. If you do so again I will report you immediately. Thank you.User:Dirtybirdy78

Referring to you as cowardly in your behavior of removing my posts because you did not like what I said concerning your clear incorrect analogies (which can be viewed in the history of your talkpage for anyone interested in reading the posts in question) is entirely different than you referring to me and others as political hacks simply because we refuse to let you slander and make libel comments about living individuals. If you plan to post here in the future please consider not parroting comments that I make on your page. It shows a general lack of creativity to take my words and use them as your own with a few minor edits. And the truth shall set you free! 01:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey Berksguy are you not the one that has a blog up attacking Matt Heckman called http://whatmattwontpost.blogspot.com? Anonymous coward. user:The one and only GRAND MOFO WIZARD!

No. I am not sure where you and others have this idea. I did post a comment on the blog in question a good while back (which can not be accessed at the blog in question anymore, but can be found using Google and looking at some cached files). I am not, although, the owner, operator, or contributor to the blog. It seems the person running the place has fallen off the face of the planet. Guess they decided it was not worth stressing out over one individual anymore. They were correct. And the truth shall set you free! 18:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm happy to see Berksguy is up to his Matt Heckman bashing again on his blog http://whatmattwontpost.blogspot.com. It just proves you are a political hack User:Dirtybirdy78

Read the website DirtyBirdy78. An individual that goes by the name of 'Got Truth' runs that site. You can see that quite clearly if you read the blog posts. I would hardly say that having made their last post in July 2006 is a sign that they are back to doing anything. As I stated previously, they appear to have fallen off of the planet and I would have to assume that they care less about Matthew and his jolly band of Berks Countians. I take offense to your constant insults, and have asked you in the past to cease this behavior. Consider this your second warning for violating Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Do not post such things on this page again, your baseless accusations are not appreciated in any way shape or form.And the truth shall set you free! 00:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Gee Berksguy, I remember that site being run by a Berksguy and all of a sudden it's now got truth? If you are going to try to mask yourself better, perhaps you should try a different line other then "The Truth Shall Set You Free". You are a political hack, you work for Tom McMahon as mentioned in labeling Matt Heckman under the Sleaze Patrol under McMahon's reelection site which is illegal by the way. If you are that hell bent to attack Matt Heckman the way you do, you really have problems. User:Grand Mofo Wizard

Then your memory does not serve you well. You will note that the messages from me on the website have my moniker behind them, and the messages from Got Truth have their name behind them. No amount of repeating false information will make it correct, though you and many others believe that to be a way to make truth from lies. I do not nor have I ever worked for the City of Reading, Tom McMahon, or anything even remotely tied to either. I challenge you to find any proof to the contrary. I have no ties to McMahon's website, so I must also say beyond the shadow of a doubt I did not label Heckman as a 'Sleaze'.

Now, consider this a warning. Do not come to this page and spread your venom, hate, and lies. Any future childish and venomous comments from you will be deleted promptly and you and any of your other cohorts will be immediately tagged for review by the Wiki admins to the best of my ability. I am hell bent on nothing by to ensure that you and others do nto use this as your own political sandbox... And the truth shall set you free! 00:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Requesting assistance
This doesn't look like a situation with a "quick fix" - tempers on both sides of this article seem to have continued to boil. I don't think either side is quite at the point where I would issue a block for personal attacks, but you might consider a Request for Comment which would allow more outside users to give their views on the situation and try to help you all come up with a better resolution to the article and the conflict that has emerged from it. (ESkog)(Talk) 02:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the input ESkog. I will do as you suggested and see what can be done using the request for comment process. And the truth shall set you free! 18:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Personal attacks
The user was actually User:72.78.27.65 signing as a nonexistent username. I've left a personal-attack warning on his/her talk page. Let me know if the attacks continue - you are correct that you should not be subjected to this garbage. (ESkog)(Talk) 01:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

You will notice he/she actually did that twice. Once from User:72.78.27.65 as Grand Mofo Wizard just the other day and previously as from User:72.78.19.51 signing that time as "The one and only GRAND MOFO WIZARD!" Is it possible to place a warning on both, since they both claim to be the same person and have both made personal attacks? And the truth shall set you free! 01:00, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Issues With Your User Page
Gee Berksguy.... I have to say some people are pretty mean, however after checking your comments on ESkog's talk page, who said you were a politician? Just asking. User:Dirtybirdy78

You can see the history of the userpage yourself to see the IP address, but they said (and I quote) "Close enough to November to destroy you politically." I guess they will be sadly disappointed come November when they turn out being wrong. I have no political aspirations to destroy. I am an every day Joe who is just trying to see to it that people play fair when it comes to local politics. And the truth shall set you free! 23:54, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

There is no POV about this. You returned to the page using your IP address of 74.212.1.66 because you forgot to sign your post. You neglected to log in. I was simply giving yuo some friendly advice that if you plan to post and keep your IP address to yourself it is a good idea to sign in. I also stated that it appears you do quite a bit of posting anonymously, possibly even before you created your current account name for all I know. I do not see how or why this would be considered POV when all of the above is clearly factual and intended to be a friendly reminder. I am curious what you believe I was accusing you of, since no accusations were made.And the truth shall set you free! 16:55, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Anonymous Accuser
Please take your difficulty to WP:AN/I. Making an article is both inappropriate and valueless.--Anthony.bradbury 22:04, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, but I simply followed the directions on the Vandal page and entered the IP as instructed. I was unaware it would create an article. I will visit the page you suggested to seek assistance there. Thanks again! And the truth shall set you free! 03:40, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I can semi-protect your user page, which will at least require that this vandal log in if s/he wants to continue slandering and threatening you (not to mention totally misidentifying me!). I'd need to ask some other admins about how best to block that range of IPs if it comes to that. Let me know if you'd like me to semiprotect in the meantime. (ESkog)(Talk) 03:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I would appreciate that. I grow quite weary of the childish behavior some of my fellow Berk Countians seem to project especially when they are bent on slandering people. Anything you can do would be appreciated. And the truth shall set you free! 11:47, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
