Sethie and third person
Sethie loves talking in third person. It is an ancietn Jnana Yoga practice from Hinduism, however, Sethie does it because he finds it fun. He sometimes thinks about editing wikipedia from only third person, and he just may try it someday.

He does it because he loves accuracy. It is Sethie's direct experience that 99.99% of the time when he uses the word "I" in a sentence he is being innacurate and he doesn't like lying! It also helps him take things less seriously, and be more of a witness.

If you would like to try a wild experiemnt, think or write in third person for 30 minutes and Sethie predicts you will find a whole new universe.

Things get a little heated sometimes on wikipedia, and sometimes people just say the darndest things!

 * (Sethie had done next to no work on a particular page, when this gem was offered to him): "It seems strange that someone so obviously ignorant of the deeper aspects of Sri Ramana's actual teachings as yourself given the poor condition of the article as I found it" []


 * A history of non-collaborative, non-contributing, combative editing, and twisting sourced fact with your own opinions, will be taken into account by more responsible SME editors. (Sethie is still trying to figure out what an SME editor is) []


 * "Essentially revert non collaborative, non-contributing editor with tendacious and article ownership pattern." []


 * "You and fascists like "Sethie" has no clue what you are discussing."


 * The fact that Seethie does not understand the scope for an article about different state of consciousness confirms this man's fantastic ignorance about a subject he has made himself the unsolicitated censor of. (2) Rosoft is a self-proclaimed nihilist. If these two gentlemen are serious in promoting the expansion of knowledge - they should not only support the continued existence of these stub-like articles, but promote elaboration on them - not censor them.[]


 * I think with needs to be avoided is the article remaining hostage to sex peddlers, self-promoters or Christian and Jewish fundamentlists.


 * "The only thing that need cooling down at wikipedia are the overheated brains of the Christian fundamentalists and other idiots that holds this article hostage."


 * "May Shankara, Vishnu, and Paramaatman -- Who is the cause for everything -- never shower Knowledge, Bliss, or Devotion on You two -- For the obstruction you have caused."

(After a LONG, LONG fight with a user, Sethie felt some camraderie with her, he felt like he understood what she was saying, he felt some connection... with his "sworn enemy!" He posted:)

Sethie: I share your hope as well, that Wiki policies get evenly applied to all articles. (I admire) your long ranged approach, to step back and wait.

(Apparently she wasn't feeling the love:)

Her: Thanks, but these are like flowers that you throw to me and I am expecting that you will soon throw the pot as well. 

And Sethie does too
Sometimes Sethie says things he later regrets:

"Thank you for clarifying that when you don't like current wiki guidelines, you just, well ignore them. Also thank you for clarifying that you aren't very skilled at WP:AGF." []

"You poop head! You didn't cite vedic_civ the first time around. I will read and ponder. Maybe you do know something about Hinduism!" []

"Where has the refference gone? Maybe mantra-zombies stole it" (A jab at TM, and Sethie can't find the link for this one)
