Some, like Sheldon, don't get sanctioned by Wikipedia
for any such false, although indirect, "personal
attacks" upon other Wikipedians?
Maybe Sheldon, like Timwi, are of the same "ilk"?

I'm pretty sure they will. In the spirit of
collegiality, though, I'd
like to suggest that Wikipedia refrain from passing
their trolls and
flamers on to other sites. Would you like it if
Disinfopedia or
OpenFacts recommended that THEIR trolls visit
Wikipedia?

A "Who's Who" of the "ilk" that has been slandering,
lying hypocritically, and bearing false witness
against me, and in a deliberately false attempt to
just have me blocked, banned, and censored:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitrati…
Obviously, by checking the "history" of this case, it
is clear to see just who and whom are the censorious
lying hypocrites, and just who and whom are against
such pov and bigoted censorship and DOUBLE-STANDARDS,
and lying hypocrisy and slander against me.

Hi,
This will hopefully lighten the tense situation in the mailing list.
Poem by Ogden Nash:
The cow is of the bovine ilk
One end moo, the other end milk
Ilk was a synonym for same in the middle ages but now means type or kind. That
being said, at the risk of being impugned, I think that Mr Paul Vogel's usage
of the word ilk is jarring and incorrect.

Fred,
That was just an example of "sort", "kind" or "ilk".
The "negative connotation" was only on the part of the
author of the "sentence example" that was being used
there to show how the word "ilk" could be used.
"Ilk" therefore could be used "just as correctly" with
either a "positive" or with a "neutral" connotation as
with a "negative" one.
If that "sort" or "kind" or "ilk" are actually and
factually "lying and hypocritical and pov slanderous
and censorious bigots", then that "sort" or that
"kind" or that "ilk" actually should, IMHO, have
"negative connotations", no?
"Ilk", then, in that case is most appropriate.
If you are going to edit here, Fred, you really should
know the actual meaning of words, before making any
such comments.
Factual accuracy and a NPOV within articles is what I
am really up to, and not pov "quarreliing and
fussing".
Maybe you should look in the mirror and then think
about that fact and about your own self and about that
"ilk" that is always trying to block, ban, and censor
me, for only their own pov verses the Wiki NPOV?

I'm sorry if you were insulted by my use of the word
"hysterics" but
your messages did seem to me to be characterized by
overwhelming
emotional excess. Please note however, that I didn't
call you
"hysterical". I simply characterized your complaints
as "hysterics".
I do find it "interesting" that you have pov only
"characterized" my complaints as being "hysterics",
when the ones that are actually engaging in
"hysterics" are an ilk of censorious pov bigots that
are falsely slandering and lying, and hypocritically
blocking, banning, and pov censoring me?

Perhaps it is offensive or inappropriate of me to
defend "ilks censorship", whatever that is, but that
doesn't change the fact that your behavior was
inappropriate and I don't see any evidence on your
part to acknowledge that you are behaving
inappropriately. This is about
you, not me.
It was both offensive and inappropriate for you to
defend this "ilks" censorship, lying hypocrisy, and
bigoted slander, and that same kind of biased pov
"behavior" is actually about you and is not about me.

Your request for arbitration is still active. Once
four arbitrators
approve hearing the case, then the case will move
forward into
arbitration. This part of dispute resolution does not
move quickly, so I
advise you to be calm and patient while the matter
is in arbitration.
I have been both calm and patient but I will not be
silenced by pov bigots and I will let everyone within
the Wikipedia community know whether or not actual
"justice" and actual "fairness" is being served and
observed in my case, and without any biased pov
DOUBLE-STANDARDS.

Calling people names and making other ad hominem
attacks is inappropriate. Your postings to the mailing
list today contained such attacks in violation of
Wikipedia policy. Those are facts that the arbitrators
will consider.
On the contrary, those are NOT the FACTS, they are
only your own biased pov.
The facts actually are that some here are only
enforcing DOUBLE-STANDARDS, and some here are falsely
slandering me in a bigoted and pov attempt to have me
blocked, banned, and censored.
Those are the actual facts that the arbitrators should
really consider, if they are not bigoted pov censors
and are not slanderous and lying hypocrites,
themselves.

I have not accused you of being a troll or vandal. I
am just pointing
out that your behavior on the mailing list is in
violation of Wikipedia
policy and you may be subject to sanctions such as
banning as a result
of your behavior.
The "ilk" of which I have been speaking has falsely
slandered and accused me of being a troll or vandal.
The violations of Wiki Policy have been on the part of
these pov hypocritical liars, bigots, and censors that
are enforcing DOUBLE-STANDARDS within Wikipedia.
If this "ilk" are NOT SUBJECT to sanctions based upon
that "behavior" of violation of Wikipedia Policy then
I will not abide by any such DOUBLE-STANDARDS and by
any such UNFAIRNESS of SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT of such
POLICIES.
Your beliefs and ideas that you want to include on
Wikipedia are not in question here. In fact, I have no
idea what they are as I haven't investigated this
dispute at all except for reading your inappropriate
postings to the mailing list.
You have a right to your own pov opinion as to whether
or not my postings to the mailing list are appropriate
or not.
I have seen such postings by others, and yourself
included, that seemed equally "inappropriate" in my
own pov.
So what?

We here at Wikipedia believe that in order to
participate here, you have
to follow our guidelines and policies for behavior. If
you fail to do
so, you will be subject to sanctions. This information
is very clearly
stated on many pages on Wikipedia.
I don't have any real problem with actually ever doing
so, IF, they are being enforced without ANY pov bias
and without ANY pov DOUBLE-STANDARDS.

This is a false dichotomy. There are many alternate
possibilities.
Really?
What are those many other likely alternative
possibilities?
I don't think so.
Also, again, this screaming and personal attacks are
inappropriate. I am sorry you feel that Wikipedia is
not well-run, but do you really believe that
screaming on the mailing list is going to change any
of that?
I am neither "screaming" nor "personally attacking"
anyone.
Wikipedia will not be well-run if it does not enforce
its own rules and without bias and without such
DOUBLE-STANDARDS.
Those on this mailing list may not wish to stay on
board this project if they see any such biased pov
bigotry and any such DOUBLE-STANDARDS of the
enforcement of Wikipedia Policies and by any such an
"ilk" of censorious and lying hypocrites and pov
slanderous bigots.
> "Two wrongs do not make a right."
>

> BE a REAL MAN!
I'm not supporting or rejecting anything. All I've
done is point out to you that your behavior is
unacceptable. It doesn't matter to me what
anyone else did to make you behave this way.
You pointing out my behavior, alone, as what is being
"unacceptable" is just lying hypocrisy.
I consider your pov bias as being "unacceptable".
The only question here that I am considering is your
behavior on the mailing list. I am trying to
maintain civility here on the mailing list and you are
compromising that civility with your name-calling.
I have been quite "civil" on this mailing list,
especially considering the actually false and the
slanderous "name-calling" behavior of your own ilk,
of lying hypocrites and censorious pov bigots, Fred.
Let me be clear: I don't have an issue
with you, I have an issue with your behavior.
Likewise, with your own pov bias, and with the
behavior of the bigoted pov "ilk" that is always
slanderously and quite falsely attempting to have me
blocked, banned, and censored here.

the

I do consider your own "person insult" pov of my
having "totally flown off the handle" to just be
another clear example of "the pot calling the kettle
black", or just more "lying hypocrisy", on your own
pov part.
I'm not the one SCREAMING and calling people names,
you are.
I am actually doing neither.
My caps are only to underline or to highlight my main
points and they are not meant to mean screaming,
whatsoever.
> "Don't be surprised, then, when people treat you
> abusively in response to your treating them
> abusively."
>
> Indeed, but, you do always forget that it has been
the other way around. Your own pov bias and lying
hypocrisy is showing.
The only matter that I have made any statement
concerning is your
behavior. Perhaps your claim of my being biased and
hypocritical might
hold some weight if there were another campaign of
complaints being made
to the mailing list that I was ignoring in favor of
focusing on you.
There already is, and as can be clearly seen in the
pov "reactions" to my valid complaints on this here
mailing list.
I see no other such campaign; therefore your
accusations of bias and
hypocrisy are unfounded.
You only "see" what you want to "see", and mostly due
to your own pov bias, and no more and no less.
I would like to add that the Wikipedia community is
very forgiving.
However, forgiveness is only shown to those who show
remorse for their
actions. No matter who you are, if you fail to follow
the policies, then
you will be subject to sanctions.
I have done nothing to warrent any such "sanctions".
Such Wiki Policies must be EQUALLY ENFORCED and
without ANY DOUBLE-STANDARDS or selective BIAS or they
are totally without any MERIT. Rule by FIAT is for
TYRANTS and this Wiki community won't abide by any
such TYRANTS for long.
You have already admitted that you
have attempted to elude those sanctions, which is also
a violation of policy, regardless of whether the
sanctions were applied appropriately
or not.
I do completely disagree.
If the sanctions were based upon false pov slander,
rather than upon the actual facts, which they were,
then they have no validity, whatsoever.
You are not above the rules here. Everyone is subject
to them.
Not from what I have seen here, the "ilk" that is
attempting to block, ban, and censor me, do not seem
to be "subject to them", whatsoever. I don't abide by
ANY DOUBLE-STANDARDS of biased enforcement of the
rules, anywhere.
Unless you start now and show that you're willing to
follow the policies
and obey the rules, you should expect to be punished
for your violations.
Unless the rules are applied to EVERYONE EQUALLY,
without DOUBLE-STANDARDS and without selective BIAS,
the rules should NOT be followed by ANYONE, and NO ONE
should also be punished for any such violations,
period.
You need to cease your inappropriate behavior,
apologize, and promise
that it won't happen again. You also need to promise
that you will,
starting now, obey all the rules and policies of
Wikipedia. You should
be a "REAL MAN" and start the healing process by being
the first to
admit your wrongs.
My "behavior" has not been "inappropriate" here in the
first place.
Where and when it ever has been, "inappropriate" here,
in my belief or pov, I have duly apologized.
I do not apologize for whatever I do believe to be the
TRUTH.
I will abide by any such rules and policies that are
enforced without any pov bias, or without
DOUBLE-STANDARDS and otherwise, not.
Finally, I have made the fourth agreement to hear your
case, so your
case is officially in arbitration now. I suggest you
make your case on
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Paul_Vogel>
and place evidence on
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Paul_Vogel/…>
and the arbitrators will hear your case.
I will do so and just as soon as I can.
Thanks! :D

"It's a word that comes out of old English, "tailors
and their ilk" is equivalent to "tailors and such"."
So what?
This is the way I meant "ilk", Fred.
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
3 entries found for ilk.
To select an entry, click on it.
ilk[1,pronoun]ilk[2,noun]ilk[3,pronoun]
Main Entry: 2ilk
Function: noun
: SORT, KIND <the rejection of these books or others
of like ilk -- Kathleen Molz>
"However this word in modern times carries
a strong negative connotation and violates our policy
against personal
attacks (without delivering any significant
information). Basically just a
throwaway piss word."
Ilk has a "strong negative connotation"!!!??? LOL! :D
On the contrary, it just and only means "sort" or
"kind".
It is neither any "personal attack" and nor is it
any so-called "throwaway piss word".
I have a question for you.
Do you want to edit here? Or is quarreling and
fussing what you are really up to. Think about it.
I have the same question for you, Fred.
If you are going to edit here, Fred, you really should
know the actual meaning of words, before making any
such comments.
Factual accuracy and a NPOV within articles is what I
am really up to, and not pov "quarreliing and
fussing".
Maybe you should look in the mirror and then think
about that fact and about your own self and about that
"ilk" that is always trying to block, ban, and censor
me, for only their own pov verses the Wiki NPOV?

"My personal feeling about Wikipedia is that sometimes
it is necessary to
"throw out the good with the bad." The "good", in this
instance, I see
as the contribution of alternative points of view that
when appropriately presented bring our encyclopedia
closer to NPOV."
So Michael feels that "sometimes it is necessary to"
throw out maintaining the NPOV with alternative pov's?
When it does "suit" his or his ilk's own POV?????
"The "bad", in contrast, is having someone direct
numerous offensive statements at other Wikipedians."
Michael Snow doesn't seem to think it "bad" when
either he and his "ilk" direct numerous and FALSE
offensive statements at other Wikipedians, though,
does he? That is a "double-standard" that other
Wikipedians might not appreciate, as I most certainly
do NOT!
"I am not going to weigh the good and bad brought to
Wikipedia by Mr. Paul Vogel. That is for the
arbitration committee to do."
Indeed, and I will review with the same arbitration
committee the good and bad brought to Wikipedia by NOT
walking the TALK of maintaining the Wiki NPOV and of
NOT enforcing Wiki Policies fairly and without such
pov DOUBLE-STANDARDS, Michael.
"But there is no reason to be ashamed of throwing out
the good with the bad, if the bad
is more than we can tolerate."
When you in your pov can't tolerate the NPOV, that is?
There is plenty to be "ashamed of" and if you or your
own "ilk" or "group" just can't maintain any Wiki NPOV
here and if one can't they should be the ones to
actually "leave", or be blocked, banned, or censored
from this Wiki Encyclopedia Project.
"There are other sources of the same good
(with the double meaning of "good" as in commodity),
and we can get it without having to poison our
community."
The NPOV is NOT any commodity, anymore than the TRUTH
is a commodity.
How does maintaining the NPOV ever "poison" any
"community", unless of course, your idea of
"community" is based only and solely upon falsehood,
upon lying hypocrisy, upon pov bigotry, and upon pov
censorship of any alternative and therefore NPOV's?

"If you have complaints and can back them up with

forth on the page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_Arbitration/Paul_Vogel"
Of course, I do have many complaints and I can back
them up with evidence and I will set them forth on the
linked page, above, as well as here.
"However, I highly recommend you lose the word,
"ilk"."
I highly recommend that you do look the word "ilk"
up in the dictionary, Fred, as it fits this lying and
hypocritical mob here that is falsely attempting to
have me blocked, banned, and censored.
"I tend to read it as, "The Jews"."
Are you saying that "The Jews" are this "ilk", Fred?
If the shoe fits, then yes.
If not, then no.
Many of this "ilk" are "Jews", but, the "behavior" of
"lying hypocrisy", of "slander", of "personal insults"
and of "double-standards" and of bigoted pov
"censorship" are the actual "defining characteristics"
of this "mob" or "ilk" or "group" that is attempting
to falsely block, ban, and censor me.
"What do you mean by using that word in the way you
do?"
An "ilk" is a group. The "ilk" or "group" that is
trying to block, ban, or to censor me that has falsely
slandered, personally insulted, have lied, and have
been hypocritical, that have given false witness, that
have reverted articles for their own biased and
bigoted pov and more than 3-times in a day, etc., and
that have only "selectively enforced" many Wiki
Policies, against me, ad nauseum. That ilk.
