User talk:Controlling Us
Hi, regarding that first sentence you put into sexual reassignment surgery, I don't believe it's strictly necessary. Check [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style].Meelar 21:44, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
- The only exception to that is those articles that deal with the real universe. Meelar 21:51, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
- But which reality is 'real' is a matter of who you are and your point of view. To predjudice one person's reality against another is outrageous. Controlling Us 21:52, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
- Perhaps you should read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, which describes how we deal with such things. Also, perhaps this is obvious but I will point out that almost every article would have your little blurb at the beginning if we accepted your argument. That would be pointless.

- This is a formal warning. What you are doing constitutes vandalism. Stop. Morwen 21:53, May 14, 2004 (UTC)
- If you continue to persist in this ridiculous reality thing, you can be blocked. Meelar 21:55, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
To "Controlling Us": please note: being blocked from editing a website is not, as you put it, "technological violence". We bend over backwards to try to represent competing views, and our commitment to NPOV is one of our core principles, and try hard not to ban people, providing they can work within the NPOV framework. What we do ban people for is unwillingness to work with others in the community. -- The Anome 22:13, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
NPOV violation
You are pushing a POV. It is only in your reality that these things are the consensus reality of the 21st-century western world. In other realities they may instead be the consensus reality of the 10th-century Orient. -- VV 04:34, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
