Watch
I see you added some misinformation to our Watch article, yet most of your edits appear to be useful. Are you testing Wikipedia? We'd prefer that you didn't. We now have to treat all your edits with greater suspicion than most.-gadfium 19:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Response to "Watch"
That was a stupid thing I did, and I'm sorry I added the misinforming word, mainly because it puts me under suspicion, but also because I enjoy being here and don't want to get banned or put under suspicion. If I can help it (and I will try to), I will avoid vandalizing anything again.

Sorry I have to put it under a new subject, too; I don't know how to respond to the post. All apologies. Sillstaw 22:54, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Re: LGBT
It claims under your categories that you're an LGBT Wikipedian. Am I wrong in assuming that this would conflict with your apparent belief in Scientology? Is it just vandalism? Thanks. Sillstaw 22:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Dear Sillstaw: Hah, no, it isn't vandalism; as I am sure you can see from the page history, I added the category myself. :) Actually, the subject of Scientology doesn't conflict with my sexual orientation; although some of L. Ron Hubbard's earlier works refer to being gay as a "sexual abberation" (for example, in his book Science of Survival) his later works were neutral on the matter. Also, in Scientology the maxim "what is true for you is true for you" is considered paramount; one evaluates for oneself what is true and what is not, which I have done - and there is certainly no prohibition on homosexuality in the subject, far from it, one is free to make one's own decisions on one's own behaviour. I do hope this clarifies the matter for you. Best regards, -- NicholasTurnbull | (talk) (e-mail) (cabal) 23:23, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
