Follow-up about your username

Hello, Anarcho-capitalism. While there had been some discussion here about whether your username met Wikipedia policy on what usernames editors can use, the consensus was to allow it, and that discussion has now been closed. If you would like to see what concerns were raised, you can still find that discussion in the archive. You do not need to change your username. However, if you ever wish to do so, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page. Thank you.

On a personal note, though, I still feel that [voluntarily] changing your username to "Anarcho-capitalist" would be an excellent idea (and would entirely bypass any sort of furor about your username), but that is entirely up to you. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, calling myself "anarcho-capitalist" would be a username taking a political stance. It says "I am an anarcho-capitalist" or "I'm pro-anarcho-capitalism." And some people seem to have a problem with usernames taking political stances. The username "anarcho-capitalism" doesn't take a political stance. It's just the name of a philosophy.Anarcho-capitalism 05:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I see a username being based on a philosophy as being worse than one based on a personal belief, but your argument is certainly not without merit. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:58, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why?

1) Talk page has been cleared, why?

2) Humor section of your user page is gone too, why? - Peter Bjørn Perlsø 00:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I cleared it because it was getting kind of long and messy. Think I should put it back? The humor section (Chomsky) is still on the userpage.Anarcho-capitalism 02:44, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article

Is there an article that deals specifically with morality and capitalism? Fephisto 18:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. That might be a decent idea for an article though, something like "Ethics of capitalism."Anarcho-capitalism 01:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be a wonderful idea... Although it can become quite difficult to create considering the socialists of today have redefined capitalism as well as anarchy to suit their goals. Making it impossible for anyone to talk about the topic of the free-market and a society of no-ruleing class without agrevating strong emotions in people Lord Metroid 16:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's right, I didn't think about that. Maybe it could be "Ethics of free-market capitalism" then to narrow it down.Anarcho-capitalism 23:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Anarchism

The portal has obviously been hickajed by TV-Anarchists also known as anarcho-communists. I don't know what to do. I don't dare to edit the portal as these anarcho-communists like many other socialist/collectivist have redefined words to suit their goals and most likely strong emotions of anger are evident when on the talk page I discussed the abscense of anarcho-capitalism on the portal. So if I even would try to edit the Portal to give anarcho-capitalism equal exposure as anarcho-communism have at present. I fear my hard-work to do so would be in vain, as it would get instantly reverted by the many more anarcho-communists paradoxialy probably regarding it as their property. Any idea what to do? Or shall we just leave the portal alone? Perhaps move the portal to Portal:Anarcho-communism and create Portal:Anarcho-capitalism? Feels not only redundant but also totally contra-productive, to me! Lord Metroid 21:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the definition of anarchism, and made anarcho-capitalism the featured article. You may want to intervene if the commies revert it. 69.152.201.90 17:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, much better. Lord Metroid 23:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalism can never be anarchist. Read some Bakunin if you want to see what anarchist means

Marginal utility

FWIW, the article on Marginal utility is being trashed by Economizer, who appears to be an undergrad with an over-estimation of his grasp. —SlamDiego 03:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy

You are sir, no offence, a crazy. A nutjob. A maniac. And I mean no offence.

Basically, your definition of anarchism so as to exclude /all/ variants of communism is just silly.

I can imagine some examples of a society meeting the standard of "communism" (class-less, state-less, from each to each, resources held in common) but not meeting the standard of "anarchism" (no hierarchy, no oppression etc.).

Anyway, have fun in your chosen mode off life (troll).

Heads up. User:66.69.240.110 has proposed your userpage be deleted.

He added a deletion template again. I am contesting and removing it because I don't see a violation. Your userpage is filled with material related to wikipedia, specifically information helpful in editing the article on Anarchocapitalism. Lawyer2b 11:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MFD

Hi. Please please please don't take my MFD personally. It is not supposed to be an attack upon your person. I am only putting to light some issues I am concerned about. Cheers. -- infinity0 11:01, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh don't worry. I know exactly why you want the information deleted.Anarcho-capitalism 23:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're a troll. 31337 09:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gosh yes i'm part of the anarcho-communist WP:CABAL that wants to exterminate all anarcho-capitalists. Geez. And you call me paranoid. The google thing I do have a point though, honestly. If your username was something else then it's absolutely fine, but your current Username might make non-computer-savvy people believe your user article is actually part of wikipedia. -- infinity0 12:19, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's a pin-up that says 'this is not a Wikipedia article' isn't there? With a link to the actual article no less. Fephisto 19:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to all those that voted to "keep."Anarcho-capitalism 19:36, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome, but really the thanks should be your supporters' to give. Your obvious intelligence, subject knowledge, editing style, and tenacity are role-model quality. Please keep up the great work. Lawyer2b 23:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Canvassing

You know, you can complain about canvassing; but they're probably going to go ahead and do it anyways and there isn't much you can do to stop them. Fephisto 14:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but, if it is brought to light, the opinions represented by those solicited inappropriately should/would be hopefully discounted when trying to determine if a consensus exists. Lawyer2b 17:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I only contacted three people, by WP:CANVASS that is acceptable. I could have contacted much more, mind you. I didn't. I'm not a fanatic who sits around all day writing anti-capitalist articles and generally trying to piss anarcho-capitalists off, I have a life. -- infinity0 12:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then, to be fair, I'll try and contact two more. Fephisto 19:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Anarcho-capitalism (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I'm not Billy Ego. I'm truly impressed by the cutting edge technology you've employed to find usernames that share the same ISP. You guys are true geniuses. But the only problem is, you're wrong. Just because two people come from the same ISP, or even the same general location if that's what you're going on, it doesn't mean they're the same people. And another thing. Billy Ego said he was a fascist. Anarcho-capitalists are opposed to fascism. Maybe sometimes you have to look beyond the number crunching and use a little bit of common sense don't you think? Also, looking over the edits of the other accounts that were blocked that you guys are claiming are sockpuppets of Billy Ego, some of their POV's seem to be mutually incompatible as well. So, a single person is going to have all these different POV's with different usernames? You guys have obviously not looked into this enough.

Decline reason:

The Arbitration Committee ruled, in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Billy Ego-Sandstein, that you were an alternate account of the now-banned User:Billy Ego. The ArbCom's ruling on this case is final, to the extent that no-one can overrule it. The exception, as noted at Wikipedia:Arbitration policy#Final decision, is an appeal to JImbo Wales. I make no comment on the validity of your request here, but no single administrator will overrule this decision, given it was a checkuser finding specifically ratified by the Arbitration Committee. If you wish to appeal to Jimbo Wales, I suggest emailing him by e-mail at jwales (at) wikia (dot) com noting that you are appealing an Arbitration Committee decision in the Subject:. I'm sorry I can't help you further, but no single administrator, nor a consensus of administrators, could overrule the Arbitration Committee's decision on this recent matter. Cheers, Daniel Bryant 02:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

The decision is final and that's that? No appeals? What if someone made a mistake? Well thanks for the reply. I guess I'll email Wales.Anarcho-capitalism 02:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. No problems; I hope I was of assistance. Cheers, Daniel Bryant 02:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, it says Billy Ego was blocked for one year. So why does it say that my account is "blocked indefinitely"? If I was really was a sockpuppet of Billy Ego then wouldn't my block be for a year as well?Anarcho-capitalism 00:47, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also look at the dates of when the accounts were created. I was around long before Billy Ego was around. Wouldn't the first account created by the original and the second be the sockpuppet? I'm not saying that it's my sockpuppet but doesn't that make sense? Something's wrong with what's been done here. Apparently someone administrators just haphazardly decided that I was a sockpuppet because we come from the same ISP and made this decision and took this action. I guess since there's no appeal process available to me, they don't care about whether their decision was wrong or right. What a joke.Anarcho-capitalism 00:47, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of the users don't make sense to be on the sockpuppet list, where are the IP logs? After looking at the banned users list, a lot of these have had very differing opinions and I've ended up arguing against. Especially User: Instantiayion, with whom I had to compromise on the Planned Economy article with (actually, that running debate was about to be solved until he got banned), Anarcho-capitalism here whos position does not line up with either User: Instantiayion nor User: Billy Ego. I find it hard to believe that even if it were true, that one person would be able to so accurately portray so many personalities and ideologies. This just doesn't seem to line up at all. Fephisto 17:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I'm not internet technically savvy but my understanding is that the checkuser function, which apparently was used to come to the conclusion that User:Anarcho-capitalist was a sockpuppet, is not a foolproof method of determining that; considering the widely disparate editing history and political opinions User:Anarcho-capitalist and User:Billy Ego have (and the fact that User:Anarcho-capitalist has not violated policy before), I think there should be some more evidence necessary to come to the decision the administrators did. This block is highly questionable at best and needs to be appealed to the highest level. Lawyer2b 23:53, 18 April 2007 (UTC) P.S. - User:Anarcho-capitalist, I sent you an email.[reply]

I just looked over the contributions of the accounts in question, which the templates say to look at for evidence of sockpuppetry. I saw nothing. They edit different articles and hold apparently different points of view. Without access to the Checkuser info (which, obviously, I won't ask for since I wouldn't get it anyway and don't especially want to have it), I see absolutely no reason to believe that this account is Billy Ego's sockpuppet.

If I were a more suspicious man, I would probably say that somebody felt that this was a way to get around the keep result of the recent Miscellany for Deletion vote on this userpage. The timing does seem remarkably convenient. Rogue 9 03:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
