Hi! This is Icarus!, being non-Wiki (I'm not logged in...), saying thanx for the work on the Discordianism page! Keep it up!24.176.20.60 16:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Disruption and Acharya S
Eddie, the only reaosn I am disruptive is because Acharya's followers have pegged me as " A covert Christain Zealot out to defame her." Its a ocnveneint excuse for them to say I am attakcign ehr for my rleiigous beleifas and you are all bendign over bakcwards to accomodate me. Be relaistic. Nohtign I have said is that offnesive. its blown out of proporion by Acharya's disiples to make the article seem liek a hit peice and hey the noble defenders of truth. They elarned I Administe a Christain baord and use that to prove Im somehow threatened by her ideas. ( Im no more threatened by them than ANASA is by Ralph Rene's book "NASA mooned America.")

Keepin mind, Ive not doen much wrong here. It may seem it, but Acharyas follwoers are just sayign so, and yes I knwo yoru view is no oen is unbiased, and Im as bad as they, a Troll. Im not. try to get ot know me first. Unliek Acharya S's disiples, Im here for a while, and do look into other articles.


 * I wouldn't say you are anywhere near as bad as they are. And I do appreciate the fact that you are not a single-topic contributor. And it might be as you say, that your presence is disruptive because the Acharyan's make it so. But, nevertheless, it is disruptive. I know it isn't fair to ask you to leave, but what is fair in this life? Regardless of the reason, it does seem that your presence is causing el Lobo to fly off the handle even more than usual. We seem to making some progress with him/her, although it is very slow. Of course, that might be wishful thinking. But I would rather not jeopardize what little progress we have made.


 * And it is true, I would lean over backward to accomodate you. I would also lean over backward to accommodate the Acharyans. I'm hoping the resulting posture will be a fully erect one - otherwise, I will have to consult a chiropractor.


 * So, even if you decide to follow my advice, I would appreciate it if you continue to observe the discussion, and perhaps give me a running commentary on my talk page. As I said, I like having people around to keep me honest.


 * As for your Christian beliefs, I definately agree that no Christian should feel threatened by the Acharyans (other than the possibility that they might leave a flaming sack of dog turds on your front porch - they seem like the kind of people who would do that). In fact, if I were a Christian, I would be glad to have them around - they make atheists look rather silly. They are living proof that Christianity has no monopoly on . crazyeddie 20:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

PS: to any Acharyan's who are offended by the "dog turd" comment: That's what you get for eavesdropping on a semi-private conversation!

Nice Job on the Bud Dajo article
This is such a deep rich subject matter, an article like this could go all the way. I'm reading extensively on that era right now, so I'd like helping with the merge; the inclusion of some of the contemporary punditry seems absolutely necessary (the Moro Crater massacre article very much inspired my interest in the subject, so there's something about the existing article which is "right" somehow, belongs, and I hesitated to touch). We'll work it together if that's ok. Again, good job. BusterD 12:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * visit my sandbox this week. I'm working up the Juramentado article, and would like input. Be bold. BusterD 12:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your critique/feedback. I have some minor disagreements with your comments and judgements. A few issues:
 * while I did delete one "audacious," the term is being used in its literal sense--boldness, daring--and not intended to judge or compliment the subject in a colloquial way. In conjunction with the term audacity I later use to explain Moro tactics, the usage is correct, and I'll publish my version using that term. If it's removed/adjusted later, no sweat to me, as long as the intent stays clear.
 * in "The Real Glory" with Gary Cooper (the movie to which Hurley--who is one of my links--refers in his discussion of amuks), the Cooper character causes the Philippine constabulary to gain confidence by making a captured juramentado shriek and quiver in fear, threatening to bury him after death in a pigskin. If you didn't catch that film over Memorial Day weekend on TCM, you need to watch for it. The movie's a hoot, a Hollywood version of the Bud Dajo story. Instead of the Moros being beseiged, it's the four remaining Americans and the constabulary. The Moros are depicted as catapulting juramentado over the wall using great trees, and Gary Cooper rides down a swift river rapids in order to rescue the fort under attack from the villains. Novel of same name by Charles L. Clifford. Very cheesy, but worth seeing.
 * A head's up: "The Real Glory" is on TCM at 10:15am EDT this Sunday 10/15. BusterD 22:15, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * My introduction distinguishes the amuk who kills randomly, and the juramentado, who kills for specific religious reasons. In the introduction, that's exactly what needs be said. I believe the three paragraphs under "A Path to Paradise" will explain the Moro POV. The next two sections will show how non-Moros view and learn to fear the juramentado. In the last section "Legacy" I plan to briefly relate mag-sabil to beserks, amuks, and assassins--all humans who have committed to prepare themselves in some way for killing other humans.
 * given the Moros' relentless pragmatism and knowledge of poisons, the drug hypothesis makes sense, but I've seen zero evidence of this in my reading.
 * In the main, we both agree this is fascinating material, and deserves strong, well-considered treatment. I'm taking this somewhat slowly, but greatly admire the work you've put in. Expect some changes by me, but with consideration and respect. BusterD 00:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I haven't looked too productive. I've been doing work in other areas editing and sorting, writing some real-world stuff, plus just doing some reading about Vietnam and the Philippines. Here are a few sources which bear strong investigation: Najeeb Saleeby (Google the name and you'll see why I want to read him); Mandate in Moroland by Peter Gordon Gowing (1977 & 1983); Darangan Epic of the Maranao. This is truly fascinating stuff which crosses religion, economics, indigeneous peoples, slavery, current events, all in an ancient and well-(self)documented culture which is little discussed in this US. BusterD 15:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If you'd be so kind, please visit my user page and click on the mail link. I have a couple of pdf files you'd like, plus I have an off-topic question to ask. Thanks! BusterD 15:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Edits regarding North Korea-related articles
Just wanted to say thanks. In response to the 7-missile launch news, I've read that seven missiles were launched, and the first six, more short-range missiles or fell within the vicinity of their target (ie fairly accurate). The seventh, the Taepodong-2 missile, failed about 40 seconds after its launch. So I've read in newspapers anyway.

Also if you contribute consistently to North Korean related articles to ensure its NPOV then maybe later I should award you a barnstar :-) Jsw663 10:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

North Korea Government
I already did, then I got your message. "Communist State" is an oxymoron and makes no sense. If you must, call it Communist, but not a "Communist State". Respectfully, Ionius Mundus 04:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Just as long as it is not "Communist State" I will probably be okay with it. --Ionius Mundus 04:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I think we're just about to come to a stable agreement with The Way. Come take a look as soon as possible. --Ionius Mundus 05:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

FYI
I've contributed to the North Korea talk page. For your information. This message can be deleted once it has been read. --Bjornar 22:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Your message
the reason for my hostile feeling towards the united states does include disagreement with Mr. Bush, I also feel your electoral system is corrupt i.e an "elite electorate" hardly seems fair. Your county's constant hostility towards underdog nations, and some ammendments to your constitution, including the right to carry guns also anger me --Frogsprog 13:06, 21 September 2006 (UTC)


 * RE: my "beef" is the immorality of how you act, domestically and internationally, the only reason your government hates korea is because of the communism, nothing else. mr bush is trying to prove a point... --Frogsprog 17:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Korea
VILE REGIME?? take a look at your own government! North Korea is a socialist democracy where everyone is treated fairly! your information comes only from what your government tells you, and since your government is intent on imposing the "american way of life" on the entire world. they can't be trusted --Frogsprog 11:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

RE
1.)i mean the electoral college, a group of elites who elect the leader 2.)your gun laws have caused problems even here, I am a deputy manager at Manchester Airport, the amount of americans arrested for mistakenly bringing ammunition that they have left in their bags into the UK is unbelievable! not to mention the fact that allowing your citizens to carry weapons of death is obviously a bad idea!how could you not see that! --Frogsprog 19:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * in answer to your question, If you bring ammunition into the UK the armed police are immediately summoned and the ammuntion safely destroyed, you would then be detained at gunpoint inside the airport until you could be transferred to a police station. After trial you could be sentanced up to one year in jail for violating public safety statutes, or if you itend to use the ammunition in our country, up to 15 years under the terrorism and firearms acts of parliament. as you can see, we are much more sensible and safety concsious here in Europe, and we dont take risks with implements of death--Frogsprog 21:28, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * by the way, I am a subject of a feudal monarchy, and proud to be, her majesty would do a far better job of running the country than our "prime minister" --Frogsprog 21:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Re:Your two cents
First of all, let me just say that I am not an American, which is porobably why my views on Islam and its adherents are much stronger than yours. I have seen the true face of that religion and have come to three conclusions. The first one is that the idea of a "moderate Muslim" is a fallacy. They (to avoid being pulled up for personal attacks, let me say 99.99999% of them) are all fanatics, to a greater or lesser degree. Second, Muslims do not belong to any country. They (again, to avoid violating policy, let me say 99.99999% of them) are all traitors. If they have to choose between the land which nurtured them and the teachings of Islam, they will always choose Islam. Thirdly, Muslims (99.9999999% of them) cannot peacefully co-exist with other religions. From Aurangzeb to Osama, they have always oppressed us because we do not follow their faith. They will never let us live until we accept Islam. I have seen my share of "educated, moderate, non-jihadist, innocent" Muslim doctors, engineers etc, calmly and rationally explaining why American deserve to die. And that sickens me. Yes, I may be anti-Muslim. But there is a reason behind that. I cannot even read a newspaper (remember the Muhammad cartoons) in real-life without risking decapitation. Atleast let me talk freely on the internet. Cerebral Warrior 17:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Cerebral, just for fun: There are roughly one billion Muslims. 99.99999% of them would leave about a hundred Muslims that you think wouldn't slit your throat in a heartbeat. A hundred. And your second number, 99.9999999%? That would leave a single Muslim. Which one? Who's the one Muslim in the world that wouldn't lynch you? Do you know him? Does he have a name? Perhaps he's a she? Where does he live? Does he speak in generalizations as easily as you? Yeah, you're anti-Muslim. You can talk freely on the internet, but not necessarily on Wikipedia. --Golbez 17:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Cerebral Warrior
Frankly, I'm not sure which policies would apply here, I'm not too keen on classifying everything - WP:IAR is the best rule there is. I guess his actions are a violation of Civility. Regarding his user page, WP:CSD would apply - i.e. attack pages can be speedily deleted in any namespace.--Konst.ableTalk 03:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your concerns. I have unblocked him now and restored his user page (though deleted the offedning statements).  Hopefully this can all end peacefully without him having to leave and without any ArbCom interference.--Konst.ableTalk 05:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Could you give your opinion at ? Thanks. yandman  07:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi. Why did you ask me to comment there and then delete my comment? --Guinnog 16:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * LOL, that makes perfect sense. I will have a look and see if I can come up with something more "nuanced"; my only worry is that we may make this user feel awfully important by spending so much time in critique and debate of something which seems obviously to offend many and to have no justification. I take your point though. --Guinnog 17:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well said. I appreciate the patience you have brought to this. Best wishes --Guinnog 17:15, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with him having a statement that he'd been censored. He is merely being asked to adhere to the same standards you and I do. . --Guinnog 04:43, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * "You can say that you oppose Islamofacism and terrorism" I think the feeling was against the former. Even if were spelled correctly. --Guinnog 04:45, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Could you look at Al Gore III?
I've got a POV-pushing single user refusing to look at consensus. If you defer, I would certainly understand. BusterD 18:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No need for you to get involved now. At the moment I sent out the message, I was getting a bit desperate, but after light was shined on the issue, the user in question scurried for the dark. If I can be of any assistance, I hope you know I can be counted upon. Thanks and all the best! BusterD 00:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply from THL
Yes, you would have my complete support. Censorship is a serious matter, and it should take at least a 2/3 majority to decide what should and shouldn't be allowed. However, I am concerned with what you mentioned about the Islamofacist statement. Though I do weakly oppose removing it, I am going to change my vote to delete for the good of the community. In the end, yes you will have my support when the time comes. --  T H  L  06:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

PVA
I never disrupted any wikipedia articles, I only posted my complaint on relevant talk pages. In no way did I disrupt wikipedia and in fact I think that they were legitimate points on the discussion page. Its not like I eidite a single main article page. If I did get close to the edge of breaking any rules, it was only because I was outraged at Johnsmith's sneaky methods of retalitaion after we had a legit debate about a particukar source.

PS About the book review I was just using it as a way to show Bevin's POV about the war without bias. --Gary123 07:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm looking at this article and it seems to duplicate a lot of the content on the Korean War article. What do you think about suggesting a merger, crazyeddie? Could just have a separate section on the PVA on KW page. Most of the PVA page isn't that great and there's little point into basically making it copy of the Korean War page. John Smith&#39;s 11:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, get back to me at your convenience. There's no rush, but I thought it would be a more economical way to improve both articles. John Smith&#39;s 18:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Considering your fiasco in helping Johnsmith delete a lowly insignificant public servant like Frank Hogan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Frank_Hogan you might want to lay off going after one of the most significant armies of 20th century conflict...--Gary123 15:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Frank Hogan
Unfortunately I don't have the time to do that right now. If you could that would be great - otherwise I'll have to bustle on with my current work. :( John Smith&#39;s 01:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, well never mind. I had no idea he was such a big cheese. If someone had suggesting putting a member of the CPS up on wikipedia I would have questioned it. I forget these people are often politicians as well. John Smith&#39;s 10:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Even though they may not be on the "100 year list," these people are notable. Did you know that JFK did not make the 100 year list? You know him, and you know that he was assainated. Hence notability. People do not necessarily have to be on the 100 year list to be notable people. One more thing, (as a suggestion) please do not use AfD to get an opinion poll on an article. If you want, you can ask an administrator. Anyway, we all appreciate your contributions on Wikipedia, and happy editing! Diez2 02:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
