Talk:New antisemitism/various

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Wow, that was lively

What are we arguing about, again? Whether "new antisemitism" is a "pejorative political term"? Henry Kissinger said, "University politics are so bitter precisely because the stakes are so small." Is there room for compromise here? Can we look to Wikipedia policy and find a resolution? By golly, we can. If you add something to an article and someone challenges it, you have to provide reliable sourcing. Not something you made up in school one day. If it's "pejorative," then you need to prove that some notable opinion-maker described it as "pejorative," or something similar. Dino 12:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dean, I think the point is moot now because the article on "pejorative political terms" has been deleted. A similar article on "political epithets," which was created 2 1/2 years ago, was similarly deleted by its owners last week when it became clear to them that there was copious reliable-source documentation describing "anti-semite" as a political epithet. The decision was to sink the whole ship rather than letting aboard any ideological impurities.
Your point about small stakes is well-taken. Just so you know, though, one reason there's such debate over something like the term "pejorative political term" is because the more fundamental debate here is whether NAS should be treated as a phenomenon, or as a tendentious and divisive political discourse, or both.--G-Dett 13:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Please quit this outrageous trolling. Everyone is tired of having to read your carping. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I just checked your contribs again hoping to see an improvement from the last time, but you've still only made 158 edits to articles. From now on, I'm going to remove any posts of yours from this talk page that aren't directly related to content, and if you revert me, I'll request admin intervention. You've been poisoning this page for long enough. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
What "content" does this latest ad hominem blast from you relate to, Slim?
As long as you're trolling through my history (while ignoring my substantive questions here), you might take a closer look at those 158 article edits. I think you'll find that a great number of them were instantly reverted by you, Jayjg, Isarig, HumusSapiens, et al, accompanied by logically specious and often personally insulting edit summaries, sending me over to the talk-page for endlessly exasperating exchanges with your lock-step POV-crew.
If you wish to have me monitored or filtered or whatever, have some neutral party with credibility do it. You are obviously not in a position to determine which of my comments are substantive, given your personal, ideological, and often visceral opposition to me. Manipulating Ashley's posts in order to alter her meaning was a serious matter, and taking it upon yourself to become my minder and censor will not improve things, Slim.--G-Dett 19:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Slim, G-Dett was just responding to a query. I know your take is not her take, but I don't think the vague threats are very helpful. If you think it's appropriate, you're free to answer Dino's query yourself. If you don't think it's important, you should probably just leave it... —Ashley Y 20:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
(Also, deleting the response to your own attack is hardly fair.) —Ashley Y 20:42, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

This talk page is only for discussing edits to the article. For everything else, please use the user talk pages, or if necessary dispute resolution. Tom Harrison Talk 20:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Could we be just a little bit nicer to each other, people? Dino 21:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
