Hysteria
I notice you made an edit to your user page in which you say "Dose up on the hysteria" and then link to PAW. As good as your word you then post some further hysteria on the PAW talk page to add to the krystalnacht hysteria of the last few days. This is really not constructive. Thanks, SqueakBox 02:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- Um, can you point to what was hysterical about my opposition to Roman's ban, or whatever it is that you don't like? digitalemotion 02:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hey it was you who mentioned the word hysteria not me. You haven't seen me endlessly complaining that DPetersen or XavierVE get unblocked and given you mentioned hysteria re PAW I assumed it was to these endless complaints about PPA editors being blocked that you referred when saying "hysteria". Thanks, SqueakBox 02:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- Rather the general tone of PAW. It has a McCarthyite whiff about if that attracts and repulses in equal measure! digitalemotion 02:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- That is not what it is at all, a particularly bad example as there really were hardly any, if any, communists being targeted by McCarthy and his cronies who were themselves creating panic in order to promote a political agenda; none of that fits here.

- Depends on your view of things. If the enemy doesn't exist (which looks to be the case), then it fits perfectly. digitalemotion 03:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

- I think enemy is much too extreme a word for editors at wikipedia but there is no question but that there has been a huge amount of PPA POV pushing, including multiple abusing socks, for a long time by some clever, committed people. This is a situation that the encyclopedia has to protect iself against, as against any concerted POV pushing. Thanks, SqueakBox 03:53, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
