On Talk:Objectivism (Ayn Rand), you wrote:
 * Agree I can't see AL thinking clearly any time soon. It's very hard to co-operate with someone who calls you facsist. Oleksandr 21:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

In the future, I encourage you to avoid personal attacks in specific, and incivility in general. This is your first warning. Al 22:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In future, I encourage you to avoid grouping me with fascist and Randist. This is a personal attack on me. This is your first warning. Oleksandr 17:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't remember saying anything about fascism, though I think LGagnon brought the topic up. I do remember calling you an Objectivist or Randist or something similar, but that's not inherently insulting and it also has the virtue of being true. After all, your user page explicitly lists your philosophy as Rand's Objectivism.

In short, you're not in any position to warn me because I didn't do anything wrong. I've been quite civil and have clearly avoided any sort of personal attacks.

On a related note, you accused me of launching a personal attack here on someone else, when I was very clearly making an inoffensive joke. My impression is that you're a bit too quick to assume insult, which is a violation of WP:AGF. However, it may well be that you have some difficulty with the language, so I'll try not to hold this against you and, regardless, I'm not making this personal. Al 23:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, if none of us were making personal attacks then things are cleared. There are more important things to do then to waste time on this on Wikipedia. (Note: I wasn't making a personal attack, I was describing why I think a mediator was needed. And the need wasn't the subject or topic but personal attitudes. This was what I made out from the talk page. I saw quite a few remarks such as "you, randists, did X/ will do Y" made by you. This is kind of grouping I object to. I think on my own, independently of the other people who may say that they hold Objectivistic views. Therefore, the claim that I will do/act the same thing other Objectivists do/act is false. I use the ideas/logic philosophy provides. I don't act like a sock puppet. Keep this in mind.) Oleksandr 18:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok. Al 18:34, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you the same person as on the Objectivism Online forum? LaszloWalrus 20:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. Oleksandr 17:23, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
