They did not offer a retraction at that point and the Foundation had not replied to my e-mail so, in my opinion, unblocking was not indicated.  I was open to other opinions, though.

== Advice re Delicious carbuncle  ==

*{{userlinks|Delicious carbuncle}}
At ANI, BLPN, NPOVN, WT:SCN, and multiple other locations, this user is [[Wikipedia:ADMINSHOP#FORUMSHOP|abusing forumshopping]] and [[abuse of process|attempting to game the system]] in retaliation for my reporting the user to ANI over the user's BLP violations and the user's disruption on the topic of [[WP:ARBSCI]] with those selfsame BLP violations. What can be done about this? Should the user be reported for forumshopping-disruption related to [[WP:ARBSCI]]? Multiple users have commented that the user's counter-claims have little merit.

:With all due respect Cirt, this clearly has nothing to do with Carbuncle and Sceintology, but Carbuncle and you.  He's not trying to advance some POV vis-a-vis Scientology he's started a campaign against you.  That might have it's own cause for blocks, or perhaps ''interaction bans'' (as opposed to topic bans) but lets face the facts here.  The more I see people chime in about how Carbuncle needs to stop editing Scientology related pages (something he hasn't done at all, minus the one piece of bait he laid out for Cirt) the more I'm convinced that no one bothers to read past the first two sentences of anything anyone around here writes anymore.

:::No offense but that sounds like Wikilawyering to me, and is it even actionable given his state of notification about the prior arbitration case when he edited Jamie Sorrentini?

If you'd bothered to read the comment on JoseFritz's page you would know that was not HIM making that comment from another IP address,  it was me: veghead (I was blocked as a sockpuppet of Jose which I am not). As I said, I don't give a flying toss about getting unblocked but he does. So yet again - an admin who blocks first without understanding what is going on. Now you've got to block THIS IP address, which I've had to use to respond. Go on, call me a sockpuppet again. You have another chance to read my comment (the one you reverted) by clicking 'History' at the top of his Talk page.

:By making the same accusations, using the same writing style, you definitely present the appearance of being the same person- I believed you were different people before your comments, but based on your writing, I think I was wrong- you appear to be the same person after all.  And since JoseFritz/you didn't read my comment, and has spent all day doing everything ''but'' the only useful thing, there's nothing more to be said.  On the off chance you are not one but ''two'' people who refuse to do anything useful, but spring to attack everyone who comes near you in even the simplest, most easily resolved disputes, then the block is even more necessary.

So many months have passed since this debate that it's possible you have become wiser, but I doubt it. It's possible you have become disgusted with your Stalinesque behaviour from times past, but I doubt it. As long as you know you are still regarded as one of the worst exponents of the vacuous power-mongers currently strangling Wikipedia on its slow path to death and irrelevancy, then there is hope. 
Despite hating everything about you, I forgive you. Even your shocking use of the phrase "but spring to attack everyone who comes near you", rich in irony (and hypocrisy) though it is, doesn't hurt any more because you have successfully invoked a limitless level of cynicism in both of us, and countless others I would guess.
With a strange combination of pity and hatred, I wish you would just fuck off so the original ground-force of Wikipedia could continue its job.
Please send my regards to sweet hersfold and her cute lack of sophistication: despite her crass actions, she'll always be welcome to visit me in Philadelphia.

== Concerning the [[Greek Orthodox Church]] article ==

I,ve made some additions to it you might want to have a look, as far as the remark you made when you edited the article "I can't imagine what 'original' means in this context- Jesus was not Greek Orthodox." the word original in that context meant the language in which the New Teastament was written which was the Koine Greek which was the predominant language of the Eastern Mediterranean even before the Roman conquest as well as during it. I have added another source that hopefully addresses your concern. If you feel the need to clarify you are welcome to do it, however there is no actual reason to remove it completely. As it is the basic axis connecting the churches described in the article. The churches have developed some differences in liturgy and tradition, but they all still use the Koine Greek language not the modern Greek language and not the translations that other churches use(i.e. Bulgarian church uses Bulgarian language, Serbian church uses Serbian etc.) during their liturgies.--[[Special:Contributions/87.202.94.155|87.202.94.155]] ([[User talk:87.202.94.155|talk]]) 19:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey FisherQueen.  Seems like this user had some history that I may be unaware of.  I tried to post some guidance on that editor's talk page, as it really just does seem like an inexperienced editor stumbling through the work of the thousands who have come before.  I'm not the most experienced with creating articles (probably 99.9...9...9% of my articles have the [[WP:HG|(HG)]] tag after them).  Still, if the user wants to make a good faith effort to return, I'd be happy to point this editor in the right direction.  God knows I've received my fair share of counseling as I've started to add [[WP:CSD|speedies]] and [[WP:PROD|prods]] to pages.  Thanks for looking after [[WP:AIV]].

==Block evasion==
How dare you call me a racist[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Frostbite_Alan&diff=403531184&oldid=403529812]. In your world is academic fraud a worse crime that "racism"? Do you consider pointing out observable racial differences obtained using the scientific method "racism"? Is doing the same thing for geographically associated populations of animals "racism"? Presumably in your world the statement "Arctic bears are bigger than equatorial bears" is "racist"? Is objecting to scholars who fudge their data to fraudulently prove races are equal "racism"? Perhaps you should watch more daytime TV to learn how to think. If you consider it acceptable to lie to not be "racist", then there is a serious problem with your morality. I demand checkusers.

Hello FisherQueen,
I got your note about the page my daughter began about me. She asked me to chime in
and correct/add the missing facts/numbers/details. I did that to make the information
correct and up-to-date.
She will be adding the missing references and hopefully the page will then get your approval...
She shall then add several original photographs to finish the basic presentation.

Thanks [[User:Daviddarom|Daviddarom]] ([[User talk:Daviddarom|talk]]) 21:06, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello again,
I followed your suggestions and left in teh article only facts and stories I could support with reliable references. I also added many pictures of Darom - that he agreed to share in the public domain. Can you please take a look and tell me what do you think?

==Userpage Bio==
Howdy, I recently came across an article I tagged for speedy deletion until I realized it was a user page (I linked to it from an outside source and didn't read the entire header).  I have since found another that is exactly like it.  I am unfamiliar with the regulations regarding userpages, and would like your advice.

:There is a certain amount of fuzziness, but in general, while people are allowed to use their user pages to tell about themselves as part of making the encyclopedia better, they are not allowed to use the encyclopedia for self-promotion.  In those two cases, they could reasonably be deleted through the [[WP:PROD]] process, since neither creator seems to be making the encyclopedia better, and both seem to be trying to promote themselves. -[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 00:33, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

== Question ==

I would like to vote in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_December_22#Victims_of_political_repressions_clean-up this CfD] discussion. However some of the categories being discussed involve nationals/regimes from nations which I am topic banned from discussing. In your opinion would it be acceptable for me to make the following contribution: "'''Delete''' (certain categories) per nom and previous discussions. Please note that when I refer only to those categories which I am permitted to comment on under the terms of my {{diff|User talk:Varsovian|381960289|377854829|topic ban}}, I express no opinion with regard to any of the others. For example, Nelson Mandela is listed in , despite being a convicted leader of a bombing campaign. If he counts as a victim of repression, other people who set off bombs because of their political views count too and there's no way that [[Timothy McVeigh]] is a victim of repression!" Thank you in advance for your guidance. [[User:Varsovian|Varsovian]] ([[User talk:Varsovian|talk]]) 13:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
:In my opinion, if some of the categories being discussed are involved in your topic ban, you ought to simply let it go, and trust that a sound consensus based on Wikipedia policy will still be reached without you. -[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 14:51, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

== please don't restore irrelevant talk ==

please don't restore this irrelevant talk, archived here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Reference_desk/Humanities#archive_of_non-productive_answers
as you can see, the whole talk is about nothing but my poorly worded first phrasing, and there is not one relevant answer to the actual question.  Let the archive stay on the '''talk''' page, where it belongs. [[Special:Contributions/88.182.221.18|88.182.221.18]] ([[User talk:88.182.221.18|talk]]) 20:44, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
: And I did '''not''' blank the thread.  I '''moved''' the confusing question to the talk page, since there was nothing but '''talk''' ''about'' the question's poor phrasing, and replaced it with a '''clear''' question.  Go ahead and read the archived thread if you think there is a single response to the question itself (and not talk '''about''' the poor phrasing of the question) [[Special:Contributions/88.182.221.18|88.182.221.18]] ([[User talk:88.182.221.18|talk]]) 20:45, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
::Please, don't blank a section of the reference desk just because you don't like the answers you're getting.

::: I don't know what you think my question means, but what it actually means is "what percent of couples regularly (I mean not just occasionally) practice anal sex", in different countries.  I'm sorry if that's not what you think the question means, but that's what the question means.  Do you regularly practice anal sex?  If so, then in America it puts you in the 10% of minority that do.  I want to know what percent minority or majority it would put you in, in different cultures. But whatever, I asked another, different question that was more clear, and now you are free to watch people continue to misunderstand my question and talk about irrelevant aspects of it, as you did.

:::: Yes, your follow-up comments indicated that you still think that anal sex is (a) the primary sex act by most gay male couples, and (b) somehow more 'gay' than other sex acts.  But I don't think I can help you with that.  As for your other question- I don't know the answer.  I can't even check your 10% statistic, since you never cited it.  And your bizarre comments and behavior have made me feel disinclined to work very hard to look for an answer, but I'm sure someone else will be more curious than I am. -[[User:FisherQueen|FisherQueen]]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> ([[User talk:FisherQueen|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/FisherQueen|contribs]])</span> 20:58, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

== Replay to your post in Coanda-1910 ==

Looks like the discussion was closed so I cannot edit any longer. Anyway it seems that you are the only admin which at least tries to understand the problem I have. My reply was:
''Thanks again FisherQueen now that you pointed back at the real world. So do you consider, that a five day exhibition at the European Parliament celebrating the centenary of the first jet aircraft is real world? Is [http://aerosteles.net/fiche.php?code=issylesmx-coanda&type=texte&valeur=Issy%20les%20moulineaux&centrerayon=&lang=en this] from the real world? Are all the [http://www.jet100.com events] celebrating the centenary of the first jet aircraft from the real world? Are the museums in Romania, France, England, Germany, USA endorsing Coanda-1910 as the first jet airplane, from the real world? Or is this forum that we debate for almost a half a day real? What I want is to bring the mainstream [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Coand%C4%83-1910&oldid=375022429 back] into that particular article before the whole xenophobic [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Romaniantruths attack] started.'' I know there are editors from Coanda-1910 there sharing at least partially my statements, but they just refuse the join the discussion on the introduction and the reliability of the sources used and basically the ''edit war'' is between me on one side and two more editors.--[[User:Lsorin|Lsorin]] ([[User talk:Lsorin|talk]]) 23:09, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

== Taleb's PR team, again. ==

See [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:IbnAmioun and anon COI and civility issue re Taleb-related articles]].  Some edit warring, some insults, a lame legal threat, single-purpose accounts, and more [[WP:OWN]]. What really annoys them is the citation of actual returns from Taleb's funds. I'm amused at how frantic they are over a table of year to year hedge fund returns. They really don't like those numbers being in Wikipedia.
