[edit] How not to be lame

I've blanked the threats and acrimony on this talkpage. I assume y'all won't miss them. So, it seems we have ourselves a little revert war. Yes, it is an edit war. User:Skull 'n' Femurs is not a vandal. User:Athelstanus is not a vandal. Deal with it. If either of you persist in making personal attacks or other lameness like this, you will be blocked.

Now, you blokes are both fairly new, so I assume you haven't experienced one before. Here's some tips:

Edit wars are lame, even the ones that aren't really lame.
By participating in an edit war, you're not a vandal. You're just lame.
The person on the other side of the war isn't a vandal either, but he is lame.
If this crap keeps up, either I or another admin will prevent any changes being made to any related article, and block you both for a minimum of 24 hours.
Your problems won't go away if you just revert often enough to make the other give up, so forget about that right now.

If you're willing to co-operate over this article, and not just blindly revert and fling insults at one another, we might get somewhere. We have a policy of civility on Wikipedia, best summed up as Don't be a dick. Things to keep in mind: nobody here is a vandal; nobody here is a fraudster; and you may not threaten to sue someone here unless you plan to do it in a COURT of LAW in TRENTON, NEW JERSEY.

Instead of reverting, or making any controversial changes to this article, please discuss things on the talkpage instead. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:54, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I third this comment. -- Skull 'n' Femurs 04:12, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

User:Skull 'n' Femurs has recently blanked the article, the contents of which I have reinstated. So much for "third[ing]" that comment. JSIN 01:28, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

User:Skull 'n' Femurs has left a message on my talk page saying that the page was "in edit", so this may not have been vandalism, I am not sure. This talk page had a large section blanked by that user, which I have reinstated. JSIN 08:59, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry JSIN, I missed you consecration as a demi-god. Editing and blanking are different. Skull 'n' Femurs 18:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Coming in a bit late here, I realise. Please, guys, sniping at one another is hardly a productive use of anyone's time ... fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
