Talk:Free Republic/Archive 7

message: I started a page to work on the RfM here the filing party (whoever is first I suppose) should start to fill it out there, until it is complete. Then follow the instructions to file it. No other involved party should edit it until it is complete and filed. Obviously who ever files may edit how they wish, but what is filled is should be done correctly (unless I screwed up), so you probably should just ignore that.

Thank you all for your support.  --BenBurch 03:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A needless RfC. Congrats on the quick resolution. I expect more resolution in the coming days. (I made your link shorter so I can view this page on my cell phone tomorrow. Hope you don't mind) - Fairness & Accuracy For All 08:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't mind at all.  I forget about cellphone users and I shouldn't.  (Never been able to afford web access for this thing...)  --BenBurch 13:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  RFC over. 

message: Please see uninvolved third-party-neutral Admin Guy's discussion with DeanHinnen (no index on his talk page so no hotlink to the specific section) Guy/JzG
;Guy to DeanHinnen regarding Fernstern
See Fensteren: A couple of edits to Panther tank, one to M1 Garand rifle, nothing for a week, reply to a welcome message, and his sixth edit was to the vexatious BenBurch sockpuppet investivgation started by User:BryanFromPalatine using his block-evading sockpuppet User:ClemsonTiger and pursued by you. Actually that's not the whole story - on Jan 24, Fensteren created BenBurch : using the RFCU boilerplate - in other words we have an account created, makes a couple of trivial edits and can then create a new page, in this case an RFCU request. You're asking me to believe that this is an independent user who just happens to know lots about Wikiprocess and pursue precisely the same vendetta as BryanFromPalatine? Seriously? Ask ArbCom to review that one, I'm not unblocking it. Guy
;then
The incidence of genuinely new users who pitch straight into long-running disputes with evident knowledge of Wikiprocess is vastly lower than the incidence of sockpuppets and meatpuppets doing the same. So much so that the latter is the default assumption, especially we are talking about a user who has a dozen or so confirmed or suspected sockpuppets already. And when they are congratulated for their perceptive input before they've made it, the obvious becomes the farcical. You want to argue this case? Take it to ArbCom. -snip-
:I warned Mr. Hinnen about 'Turnip Trucks' but perhaps he didn't believe me. It's evident that rather than sitting percariously on the back of the Turnip Truck, Admin Guy is planted firmly in the driver's seat. ( I was going to add a pic of an old rickity truck - but thought better of it ;-) Back to break - Fairness & Accuracy For All 21:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: I filed a SSP investigation

message: Fairness, I had moved the text regarding death threats to the forum section.  It seemed to belong there.  Now it's in the history and forum sections.  Can you remove it from one or the other?  --PTR 21:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Thanks for pointing this out. I look forward to more contribution and input from you. Back to my attempted Wikibreak (from this talk page anyway) - Fairness & Accuracy For All 21:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moved text 

message: That is the first half of the "Political influence" section with a key quotation in italics at the start of it. That makes it more interesting to read. I hope you like it. Dino 01:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: There you go

message: There are the references, FAAFA. Click on References #3 through #12, which is what we're talking about here. The links work. Dino 02:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: I  added a new sub-section, 'Official stances'. Dino - I'm OK with a section describing the major forums without the unsourced claims that such and such is the longest running thread, etc. Have RWR add it for you. - Fairness & Accuracy For All 00:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I repeat: it's not unsourced. Click on the reference links. Dino 10:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
