Please feel very free to lam-blast me or provide me with your sweetest most magnificent bouquets. Please do not mind if I lam-blast you back in equal measure, or, very frequently, with disproportionately far more aggression than is warranted.

Also, if you inadvertently find your unfortunate pitiful self at the painful receiving end of my renown aggression, please take it extremely personally, as it is meant in that very particular fashion.

You have been warned.

Pakistani Propaganda [edits]

edit

"Clearly, even after losing three wars against our allies, the Pakistanis, you haven't learnt to mend your ways."

"It is a known fact that the Indian government has denied visas to foreigners to travel to Kashmir since 1947, probably to conceal the genocide and suppression of basic human rights of the Kashmiris there. One wonders what kind of tourism would prosper there. Free Kashmir is a beautiful tourist paradise - as I myself have experienced three times during my visits there on mountaineering expeditions to the Himalayas."

If you want to take a swipe at India, don't do that from standing behind Pakistan. Don't lie and make random claims. I can also say that free UK is beautiful place and British army is occupying it - but that makes me an idiot. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म..

Thisthat2011: Talk:Kashmir is not the place for the airing of personal feelings about Kashmir. I would urge you to stop continuing this discussion ad nauseum by insisting on having the last word.

Tendentious needling on Talk:Kashmir

edit

Please be warned that Kashmir is a highly sensitive article, as the banner on Talk:Kashmir states clearly. Statements such as, "Clearly, even after losing three wars against our allies, the Pakistanis, you haven't learnt to mend your ways." are considered inflammatory on such a talk page. I have removed the entire discussion thread which you initiated there. Putting grandiose or putatively humorous rhetoric on your own user page is your prerogative up to a point; putting it on the Talk:Kashmir page, however, is not. Wikipedia takes such violations of talk page etiquette seriously. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 06:24, 15 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

(Copy of reply to post on my talk page) It's best not to try to be pretentious with me, to pretend at being a drifting Edwardian relic. The letters in the signature, as you well know are not "Hindoo," which in any case is not spelled that way. It's best also not to guess my point of view by scanning my contributions. Your attempts at humor delivered in broken English, which I'm happy to pick apart if you'd like, might seem funny to you, but they can be considered inflammatory by others. If you attempt the nonsense again on the Talk:Kashmir page, I will refactor it again. If you persist, you risk having your editing privileges restricted. If you are unhappy with my swift justice, please consider reporting me to any of the forums available on Wikipedia. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 12:33, 15 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
This is your second warning. Sentences like, "Go cry over how you lost the war in 1971 somewhere else. Please leave Wikipedia alone." are considered inflammatory, especially on a sensitive page such as Kashmir. No matter how persistent your interlocutor or how pressing your cause, such language is not acceptable on Wikipedia. Also, "Hindoo" is the archaic spelling of "Hindu." It is considered offensive by many Indians, and it has an history of being used as an ethnic or racial slur against them, as the link demonstrates. It's use too, especially persistent use after being warned, will be seen as inflammatory. Please also be warned that administrators are watching your edits here.
