Lyndon Larouge edit

Hello Bird, this is the message I wrote to you on the talk page: Yea it was me, but I also should say I had no intention of really anything, other than allieviate my boredom, it was stupid, but I figured that the text would be so far beyond the line of the absurd that no one could take it seriously and hopefully would actually find it funny. I know little of Lyndon Larourge and only nominally know that there are some accusations of him being anti-semitic, which I really have no opinon on. I have not been enganged in any dispute over this article. I apoligize to anybody that didn't think the edits were as humorous as I did.

Although I am for the most part a serious editor I should also mention I have made other absurd additions in articles under my normal username, in this case I thought it would be funnier to use a sockpuppet and talk like I was a priest.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 21:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Vote on AfD of Jeremiah Duggan edit

Hi, I saw your fairminded about LaRouche. Could you vote on the Jeremiah Duggan page or at least comment? I have an AfD out on it for good reasons. --IAMwhatsIAM 07:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

From HK edit

BirdsOfFire, I notice that you have taken on the job of bullshit monitor to a certain extent, with respect to the LaRouche articles. I appreciate that, since I am prohibited from doing that myself (see my talk page.) I wanted to call your attention to another article, Synarchism, which the Berlet crowd is attempting to convert into a soapbox. Regards, HK 21:14, 30 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I gave it my best shot.
Your edits to the LaRouche section of Synarchism are a violation of the arbitation committee rulings against LaRouche activists editing LaRouche-related material. If you do it again, you may be blocked from editing. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
Account blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of User:Herschelkrustofsky. See Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Lyndon LaRouche 2 and Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Herschelkrustofsky. SlimVirgin (talk) 04:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
Are you out of your mind? Do you think that this is the only way you can win an argument? --BirdsOfFire 18:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
The arbcom ruled that any account making the same pattern of edits as Herschelkrustofsky and suspected of being a sockpuppet could be treated as one. Whether you're a sockpuppet or meatpuppet, I don't know, but you hadn't edited for a few days and yet responded to his call to revert for him within a few hours; you knew the revert was against the arbcom ruling, which is why he wasn't allowed to make it; you're clearly a LaRouche activist because the only edits you make are pro-LaRouche; and you're both editing from the same two IP address ranges.

Excuse me for saying so, but this is all a huge, steaming pile of horse manure. I doubt that you have even looked at my "user contributions" -- take a look, they're right over to the left on this page. I began editing Wikipedia because I have spent many years as a jazz fusion guitarist, and I have made knowledgeable contributions to articles on that subject. However, I have also read some publications put out by the LaRouche organization (of which I am not a member,) and I have seen enough to know that you, Cberlet, and Will Beback routinely distort and "spin" LaRouche's ideas for your own reasons. This discredits the Wikipedia project, because if a guy like me can detect the aroma of deception here, many others can also. And what ticks me off is that when I have called you on it, you don't have the guts to defend yourself, but instead you resort to these bogus cowardly tactics to try to shut me up.

Another thing-- don't even think about trying a second time to delete the "unblock" template on this page. I have a right to have this blockage reviewed by an unbiased administrator, and you are probably afraid of getting caught playing these games. --BirdsOfFire 15:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
