:Really?  That... is surprising to me.  I still think a talk page shutdown is a good idea, as the discussion was going nowhere.  But if he's already graduated from college, it's less likely that he'll ever have the skills he needs to edit here.  Still, most people are able to learn, and one never knows.  Maybe by the time protection expires he'll have found a new hobby.  I've taken up [[roller skating]] recently.

== 76.24.147.114‎ ==

I reverted an edit by this IP over a week ago, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glock&diff=prev&oldid=340592857] which appeared to be vandalism with a flip edit summary. I found a thinly veiled personal attack by it on my talk page yesterday morning[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mike_Searson&diff=next&oldid=341355921].  I am a US Marine who has worked in the firearms industry/law enforcement/US Military all of my adult life, I compared this as someone telling a PhD on here that they didn't even go to Community College.  I took umbrage with this as it seemed libelous, and I read too much into it (it looked like he was calling me an airport rental cop who knew nothing about firearms, etc).  I was having a bad day and lost it on the guy.  I insulted him/used harsh language, albeit indirectly...through edit summaries.  Was it the best course of action?  No, and I admit I did wrong, but apparently I'm the only one on Wiki who has ever had a bad day and loses his temper, or at least admits to it.  My self and this IP address went back and forth over this nonsense all day[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mike_Searson&diff=prev&oldid=341382735].  I had reliable third party sources to back my claim, this individual did not.  I am a Glock Armorer and the company, itself stands by the higher number of models.  It's also published in neutral third party sources.  This user apparently only wants to count the number only models (17,18, 30, etc) and not count the numbered models followed by a letter (17L, 18C, 30SF, etc). The count of 37 has nothing to do with his fixation on DieHard2 and the non-existent Glock 7.  I warned this individual to stop deleting sourced material.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:76.24.147.114&diff=prev&oldid=341418763]  He refused and kept deleting sources, acting snarky so he was blocked for vandalism, by another editor.  Four minutes after he was blocked, this other user, Srwm4,  showed up after an almost 3 year hiatus, and edits with the same pattern of behavior this other user was editing.  Forgetting to sign his/her name, undoing my edits, obsessed with Die Hard 2, etc.  This user did engage and use the talk pages and he had me feeling remorse for a second, but this was short-lived, when I realized he duped me.  I don't believe Wiki's policy is to delete sourced material based on another editor's "feelings":[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glock&action=historysubmit&diff=341423339&oldid=341423189] I did not revert back to the correct version, because I did not want this to escalate and this user appears to be this blocked IP Address in a weird  sockpuppet account. He spent all day yesterday tossing around insults and putting threats on my talk page.  He actually created a hitlist with my name and Baseball Bugs on it. I left some of this on my talk page because I got tired of deleting it. He was furious that I opened a sockpuppet investigaion on him and that more than anything else makes me think he is the anon IP, if not the guy's brother. He's trying to make that account "vanish" so he can create a new one on the offending IP. Long story short, the guy pissed me off and I overreacted on 3 subsequent edit summaries.  I admitted this several times and apologized , but  this gentleman won't be happy until I leave wikipedia.--[[User:Mike Searson|'''Mike''']] - [[User_talk:Mike_Searson|'''Μολὼν λαβέ''']] 15:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

:I am a certified Glock Armorer, Life member of the Glock Sport Shooting foundation, and currently own 17 of the 19 models of Glock that are available for civilian sale in the United States (22 less the two .380 ACP models which do not meet the ATF import points provisions, and the fully automatic Glock 18, which is ineligible for civilian ownership per the Hughes Amendment to the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act).  There are only 22 models currently produced by Glock.  There are numerous variations on these base models (night sight options, compensated barrels, alternate coloration, etc.), but there are only 22 models currently in production. I made an allusion to the fictional Glock 7 that gained fame in the movie Die Hard 2.  The weapon in that film is described by the main character John McClain as being porcelain, undetectable to airport metal detectors, and costing more than one antagonist character (the Chief of the security team in charge of the airport where the film is located) makes in one month.  Because of this movie, many people have the mistaken belief that there are Glocks that have model number between 1-16.  That is why I made the comment on the other user's page - a jab made in good fun, and only made after correcting him.  It neither an insult nor a personal attack; it was simply an allusion to a movie that grossed nearly a quarter of a billion dollars world-wide and is particularly well-known among small arms (especially Glock) enthusiasts for this blunder in the plot.  I kept reverting his edits, because he insisted that there are 39 models currently produced by the company, which is blatantly untrue.  A quick examination of [[Glock pistol#Variants]] shows my edit to be correct. I wholeheartedly stand by the edits I made.

Hi FisherQueen.  Please be a little more careful when blocking users at [[WP:AIV]].  Sure, all of the [[User talk:86.14.226.23|IP's]] edits may have been vandalism, but [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:86.14.226.23&action=history if I'm not mistaken], they have never received a warning level 3, 4, or 4im warning suggesting that they would be blocked if they continued vandalizing.

==Not a heartless bastard==
Hi. I'd like to apologize for the missteps I made in the Burke case. You have a good heart and a kind spirit, and, believe it or not, I am not a heartless bastard. [[User:JelrGREEN]] didn't come off initially as a grieving friend, and his edit summary (''"I re-entered info about Mark Reedy. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE, unless you want an ANGRY town coming back and editing it again."'') threw [[WP:AGF]] out the window. I saw red and rushed to [[WP:ANI]] because I have seen another editor display this kind of arrogant behavior from day 1 and I was unsuccessful in my efforts to nip that case in the bud, back in the bad old days, so I saw red. I am glad we all seem to have successfully worked out a compromise in re Brendan Burke. Believe it or not I was actually considering a suggestion, before another editor posted it, that we could always merge the salient information from Brendan's page to his father's, but I decided against it for fear that I would appear wobbly.

As a gay man who frequently uses Wikipedia, I'd like to address why some of us are pretty pissed off by this proposed deletion. First of all, the joking and elitist attitude of some of the editors- drinking beer and watching the Superbowl- while they discussed removing the article. Also, interested readers who are not editors are not supposed to object. So what if a prominent gay website informed us of this action, how else are we supposed to know? Secondly, the people pushing heaviest for deletion/merging include individuals who write hockey content for this website. What's their goal- cleaning up Wikipedia or hiding information about that homosexual player? Thirdly, perhaps you are not aware of the history of homosexuality in the United States. We have historically been forced to hide, remain closeted. It is still happening (e.g., Don't Ask, Don't Tell). How many openly gay athletes are there? Not many. The fact that Mr. Burke came out openly as a gay man was considered very important by the gay/lesbian community. He and his father were role models. And along comes another attempt to hide this information away, using all sorts of obtuse jargon that non-Wikipedia editors have no clue as to what it means. Maybe, as FisherQueen claims, the article will be deleted in a year. Maybe, instead, Mr. Burke will be remembered as a hero by gay athletes for his courage. Deleting/merging the entry will ensure that fewer people learn about his accomplishments.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.248.11.9|24.248.11.9]] ([[User talk:24.248.11.9|talk]]) 23:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:The problem is that people who are coming here because some blog (I don't know which one; it wasn't one of the ones I read) told them to aren't familiar with the rule- [[WP:BIO]] that we're trying to decide if this subject meets or not, and so they're crashing in yelling OMG CENSORS instead of saying something useful.  No one's trying to set up role models.  No one's trying to hide gay people.  The only question is, is this person notable?  I've never heard of him, so I had to rely on the news stories, which seemed to say that his major accomplishments are (a) being gay and (b) dying.  If you're saying that his notability is as an athlete, we generally say that an athlete is notable if he's played in the highest level of his sport, but as far as I can tell, this person never made it to the NHL.  I know someone who died tragically, and there are literally hundreds of news articles about her death.  Maybe even as many as Brendan Burke.  But she isn't the subject of a Wikipedia article, because dying in a newsworthy way isn't, in itself, an accomplishment.  I was sad.  I cried.  But I didn't write an article about her on Wikipedia.   If you want to have the article kept, you need to show that he was the subject of so much writing ''before'' his death that he was an important athlete even though he wasn't in the NHL.  Maybe that's true, but I haven't seen those sources yet- and I ''did'' look. -[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 23:51, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

==RE: Brendan Burke article==
Dear Sir: Would I be subjected to a block if I posted the following on [[User:Centpacrr]]'s talkpage?

:''I think it is also fair to point out that the user who first added the AfD tag has a extensive record of ten extended blocks on his record for vandalism, disruptive editing, 3RR violations, etc, over a period of four years and thus should be given little credence as an arbiter of what does not belong on Wikipedia.'' 

::I disagree. It is not fair for you to make judgments about events that occurred years ago and about which you know nothing, which far more reliable and knowledgable individuals have already gone over with a fine tooth-comb. It is sad that you would resort to McCarthyistic tactics just to win an argument. I guess you're just one of those pitiful middle-aged plus voyeurs who peer through transoms and look into other people's pasts for thrills. If you are an example of enlightened liberalism then those terms should be excised from the vocabulary. I don't wonder you don't accept service awards or Barnstars; I doubt you would ever get any.

You MUST (that's right I am emphasizing this word) look at the etymology of the word and the context. 

From enotes.com "In modern times, the word "Nazi" has meanings that go beyond this.  We of course use the word to apply to the actual members of the Nazi Party.  But we also use it to refer to anyone who is a fanatic about a cause, especially one who wants to force others to agree with/be like them." and "Either way, the word's meaning (its "semantic range") has grown considerably in the last few decades of the 20th century. The popular comedy show Seinfeld introduced us to "Soup Nazi," for example, and women activists for equal rights are sometimes still derisively called "feminazis."" 

Today there are "Shoe Nazis," "Spelling Nazis," "Style Nazis," etc. The list is extensive and could go on for pages actually. 

The etymology of words change over time or vary by place. In the US a "biscuit" is called a "cookie," "Crisps" are "Chips," and "Chips" are "French Fries". Over time a "computer" stopped being a job that a person held, and started being a reference to a machine. 

People have been PASSIONATE (there I go again using all caps) about this subject, but being offended by some of the comments that have been made really does take an assumption of bad faith on the part of the "offendee" in some instances.

:::::Comeon guys, the hyperbole is only making everything worse.

I'd do it myself, but as settlement in a disagreement with another user, I informally agreed to avoid getting into issues related to LBHS Cheerleader except when unavoidable, in which case I would have an administrator (like yourself) deal with it instead of getting involved in discussion myself.

== LOOK ==

I don't know what your problem is, but MINE is the fact that my username was stolen by someone trying to bias the hell out of an article, removing links to an organization critical of same, pushing bad wikilinks (the difference between a tear gas canister, and a "canister shot" which is basically a tank-fired grenade, is MAJOR), and then proceeded to "report" me to block my username in order to cover their own reversions.

And then I was never informed of where the "discussion" of this took place in order to make a comment back, and now I'm fighting some stupid fucked-up bot that keeps removing the discussion when I try to put it back to fucking reply to it.

To top it all off, I try to include a link inside your fucked-up "unblock" template, and it comes out blanking the damn template.

So you'll excuse me if I'm a bit pissed off at the moment. This place is one of the most fucked-up, messed-up shitholes I've ever seen in operation. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Saint Pancake By Irn|Saint Pancake By Irn]] ([[User talk:Saint Pancake By Irn|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Saint Pancake By Irn|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:Thank you for reporting your block-evading sockpuppet; I have blocked it.  If you want to request a new username, you can do so by following the instructions on your original user talk page. Amusingly, you could have just created an appropriate username and edited productively instead of creating a username that breaks the rules in the same way and using it to come swear at me on my talk page. But since this is the most fucked up shithole you've ever seen, you probably won't want to use it any longer anyway.

== edit sumary ==

Hi, I noticed you said "all other edits have been vandalism." in the edit summary of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CN_Tower&action=historysubmit&diff=346758567&oldid=346752628]. Although I find that the revert is correct, it doesn't look like vandalism. Maybe it is just a newbie editor. Remember to assume good faith. Imagine that editor seen that edit summary. If its edition was in good faith it can get insulted or annoyed and maybe instead of trying harder to learn quits or turns to real vandalism. More encouraging summaries do more good. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:0.5px;">[[User:franklin.vp|<font style="color:black;background:white;font-family:sans-serif;" >'''&nbsp;franklin&nbsp;'''</font>]]</span></small> 22:06, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
:No, it's not a good faith editor- check the contribution history and the history of his talk page, where he already blanked his you-are-about-to-be-blocked warning so he could start vandalizing again.  I have no idea whether the facts in his edit are legit or fake, and given the bit about the hippo and the fact that I was in the process of blocking him for more vandalism, I didn't look it up.  Just another bored kid. -[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 22:09, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

== New content on AN/I ==

There is a [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Abuse_of_Admin_Privileges_by_User:Nick-D_and_User:Blueboy96|new item]] on AN/I which marginally concerns you.

I would like to ask you personally about out discussion on [[User_talk:91.55.97.142|my former talk page]]. For me it looks like you demand an explanation for a block by the blockee instead of by the blocker. I couldn't provide one, since there really isn't any explanation. Do I misunderstand you?  --[[Special:Contributions/91.55.83.124|91.55.83.124]] ([[User talk:91.55.83.124|talk]]) 16:19, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, I didn't understand what you were trying to accomplish with your edits, and you seemed to be more interested in having a thrilling drama than explaining what you were trying to accomplish.  I still don't understand what you were, or are, trying to accomplish with this ANI thread or this edit.  It doesn't appear to have anything to do with a better encyclopedia.  But I don't really care ''that'' much, so since you don't seem inclined to clarify, that's fine.  -[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 18:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Your edits didn't improve Wikipedia, and it isn't at all clear to me why you made them.  No one has insulted or harassed you, and it isn't at all clear that the ANI report will affect anything at all.  The evidence that I have, so far, makes me inclined to think that your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to annoy people.  Of course, I could be wrong.  But I don't care very much.  If you want to make Wikipedia better, you are free to go do that.  I'm not going to reply to any further messages from you, though, because if your goal is to make Wikipedia better, you can do that without my help, and if your goal is to annoy me, I don't have any obligation to help you with that. -[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 22:06, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
