[edit] User:Ursasapien/Userboxes/antiDIME

Divisive and inflammatory userbox. Will (talk) 11:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

How can it be divisive and inflammatory if nobody knows what the heck it means? Whatever, leave it alone. Shalom Hello 13:53, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
DIME stands for deletionist-immediatist-mergist-exclusionist. Will (talk) 15:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I saw what it stood for. My point was that most people don't know about the cabal, and this userbox is not likely to rescue them from the throes of ignorance. Shalom Hello 17:49, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
  • That's not divisive and inflammatory, it takes off on meta humor. Keep -N 19:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, deletion would set a dangerous precedent of censoring views about Wikipedia. —Ashley Y 21:40, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless we reach a new consensus at WP:CSD--SefringleTalk 22:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ashley Y. JRG 01:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment to Ashley and JRG: Uh... Wiki is not a soapbox? Anyway, it's not censoring, he can easily use {{user incl}}. A lot less inflammatory. Will (talk) 01:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Do you really believe that expressing opinions about Wikipedia itself counts as "soapboxing" per WP:SOAP? Notice that that section of policy only discusses articles... —Ashley Y 05:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Not an inflammatory userbox.--†Sir James Paul† 02:10, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Please read the context he's using the phrase in. Will (talk) 02:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ashley Y and Sir James Paul, and yes, I read the diff. — The Storm Surfer 02:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Will, people can't say they are anti something if they do not encourage violence against it or say anything rude about it?--†Sir James Paul† 03:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, its harmless no need to remove it. GB 08:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
