Welcome to Wikipedia!!!

Legal threats
This edit appears to make an oblique legal threat by labeling comments as libel. Wikipedia has a strict no legal threats policy, I urge you to reword your comment, I don't get the vibe that that was your intention. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 05:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- I have respectfully appended a reassurance to my comment, that it is not a legal threat. No legal action will result from it alone; however, perhaps some brain cells might become engaged. Thanks for looking out for me. --WikiGnosis 05:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
WikiGnosis, we generally refer to Wikipedians by their online handle, not their full name and state of residence. I've replaced the subject's info with his or her username. Regards, Iamunknown 06:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- You'll note (or, apparently not) that User:Chairboy had given his full name and state (and city, to boot!) of residence in the very same thread that I was responding to. My use of the real name was intended to be something of tongue-in-cheek humor, since we were talking about a "legal" issue. Wikipedians generally need to unwind themselves a little, too, it seems. --WikiGnosis 06:15, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- And perhaps read a bit of the Meatball Wiki: http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?LegalThreat, stop making personal comments directed towards me when I made none to you and consider that legal insinuations, whether "philosophical" or not, act as a chilling effect. --Iamunknown 06:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- When words like "stalker", "terrorist", and "criminal" are being used to describe a fellow User of Wikipedia (who has just been reinstituted by the co-founder of the whole project, no less), perhaps some "chilling" is in order?
- And since when is leaving a personal comment on someone's Talk page NOT "making personal comments"? This is really very telling about some philosophies here! --WikiGnosis 11:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Legal threats block for realsies
I've blocked you indefinitely for this edit in which you persist in making another legal threat (your rhyming cypher was pretty easy to crack), despite being repeatedly counseled regarding Wikipedia's WP:NLT policy. An indef block is not an infinite block, you may appeal this with assurances that you'll knock it off and will receive a fair review. I hope that you will, legal threats have no business on Wikipedia, they have a chilling effect on our efforts to create a free encyclopedia. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 14:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
