Talk:Open gaming/Archive 3

message: Here we see Bblackmoor calling Axon a net Loon.
Net Loon
Bblackmoor is obviously sensitive about this issue, and I personally think that his comments should have a bit less weight.
Further you can find documentation on the OOGL dispute at
Non Open Licenses

replies: text: Joshua has obviously been following this discussion closely, to contribute such a keen and insightful analysis. And good job on digging up that blog entry from February: I'll never be able to deny being "uncivil" to Axon now, will I? Unfortunately, Joshua, I don't think it is physically possible for my comments to carry any less weight than they currently do, but I appreciate your sentiment. :) -- BBlackmoor (talk) 21:44, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Oh, and thanks for the link to Axon's web site, but he's made his opinion pretty clear, I think. -- BBlackmoor (talk) 22:15, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I've unprotected this.  I think everybody's had a chance to think some more, and hopefully there will be some more conciliatory edits than before.  Remember this is encyclopedia, not a place to air personality differences.  --Tony SidawayTalk 02:10, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Anyone who adds anything should please cite a credible source, which should not consist of a blog, a post to a discussion forum or Usenet, and if it's a personal website, it should only be used as a source if the edit is about the website's owner. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Anything that is deleted should be brought to talk for discussion. If everyone sticks to the policies, there should be no need to re-protect it, but I will if the reverting starts again. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 02:15, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Would a week from now be a good time to refactor this discussion page? Much of it is, I hope, no longer relevant to the article, and the content of the article is what I would like to focus on from here on out. -- BBlackmoor (talk) 20:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see why not, BB, so long as Axon doesn't mind. I'm glad to see there's been no reverting since it was unprotected. Are you fairly happy with the version on the page now? SlimVirgin (talk) 13:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, but I think the suggested revisions here on the Talk page (both for the Overview and for the OOGL section) are good edits. I want to give Axon (and anyone else who may have an interest) another few days to suggest additional modifications to those sections, though. -- BBlackmoor (talk) 16:13, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been several days and no one has made any further suggestions or revisions to the proposed Overview and OOGL sections, so I am going to go ahead and copy the sections that have been disucussed here to the article. Then I'll archive the old discussion from this Talk page to archive02, and start a new section here for discussion of the next section of the article. I hope everyone is okay with that. If not, please say so and we can discuss it. As a postscript to this whole thing, many thanks to both Fox1 and SlimVirgin for helping me understand Wikipedia policy and the reasons for it. I am sorry that I was such a pest, and I'm grateful that you were patient with me. -- BBlackmoor (talk) 19:10, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
