No Personal Attacks

I'm sorry if I've upset you by removing beer-u links from the beer page. However, I think that your recent response is inappropriate. Calling me an arrogant bastard, big ass, and blithering idtiot is not acceptable behavior on wikipedia, even if these are clever references to beers; see No Personal Attacks. I don't really care that you said insulting things to me, but I think it's important for you to know that this sort of behavior is forbidden.

Also unacceptable is that you've ignored what's at issue in this debate, which is whether (a) your page is of sufficient quality to be in an external links section and (b) whether, even if it is, it should be determined by you whether it it. Recognize that one of the reasons for the Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest guidelines it to say "Hey, don't edit stuff in ways that are closely associated with your interests, because your interests may cause you a bias that you don't recognize." I really don't think that you're being very objective in decided to post beer-u on the beer page.—philosofool 16:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

You didn't upset me by removing the link. Your removal of the link was not the issue. Your insulting tone was. Apology accepted. My response was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, not a personal attack. Apology proffered. Moving on...
I understand the conflict of interest issue. As I said before, it would not have been an issue had it been approached with a lighter tone. If there were others besides you complaining, I'd have no problem with the removal. RDWHAHB averagejoe 16:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Your comment on my userpage

Hey, noticed your message on my userpage, and sorry to say that I don't think I know you. Your message ("So, I'm guessing you were maybe at Griffiss at some point? and probably not a Mean Widdle Kid. Right on, Red! --averagejoe 14:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)") doesn't ring any bells with me. I was never at Griffiss, though I did live in Rome, and no one ever called me "Red." Sorry! If you want to drop a line back in future, feel free to do so on my talk page. MArcane 03:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

AH! That explains it! I was an AF brat, and my Dad was stationed at Griffiss, but we didnt live on base. I guess I'm indirectly referencing Red Skelton...though the quote was actually from MST3K, which was referencing Red Skelton. Complicated, eh? Anyway, we weren't stationed in Rome until '84, and we stayed there after the closure in '87 when the old man retired.MArcane 01:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Beer category decision

A discussion has been opened on changes that have been made to the existing Beer category system. The changes reverse the decision made by the Project in April 2006. The changes were based on agreement by only two people, and by a discussion that took place outside the Beer Project. There may be some merit in the changes, and to prevent future conflict it is important that there is some discussion of the matter.

Homosexual marriage

I was thinking it over and while the Iowa talk page wouldn't be the right place for it our use pages are ours to do with as we please. If you're still interested and have the patience I wouldn't mind going over secular objections to homosexual marriage. - Schrandit (talk) 19:41, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about the wait, between school and work I haven't had time to do too much around here as of late. Where to begin? First, I would like to question the idea that the current set of laws are discriminatory. To make such a statement is to say that there are rights the state grants to one set of people and not another. I do not believe this to be the case. If I were able to marry a man because I am a heterosexual man but a homosexual man could not marry a man because he is a homosexual I would see discrimination but for the present time we are all equals under the law. There is no right that I have that rest of the populous lacks. In my mind, to claim that laws against homosexual marriage are discriminatory to homosexuals is akin to saying that laws against polygamy are discriminatory against polygamists. In my mind, the effort to force the state to marry homosexuals is not attempting to enforce an equality of rights, but rather, to create a new right. Creating new rights is not necessarily a bad thing but I believe that is what is taking place, not the end of a discriminatory practice.
With that, I should say it is possibly short sighted for me to assume that I know all the arguments in favor of homosexual marriage. I generally hear ramblings about "equal rights" but there may be arguments other than these. What leads you to believe that the state should marry homosexuals? - Schrandit (talk) 02:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Ranking minority member

Are you aware of any sources for the idea that the "ranking member" should really be referred to as the "ranking minority member"? Not that I doubt you, but the entire wiki-article you referred to is unreferenced and the Senate website uses the term "ranking member" on its committee pages. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 15:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Truth be told, I really hadn't thought that far...I put too much faith in the Wikipedia article without noticing the lack of reference. I'm glad you said something, as it's a good reminder to me. Thanks!
So, with that mea culpa being said, I figured I should take a quick look around. Googled "ranking minority member" and second entry is this: [1]. A little deeper dig on C-SPAN turned up this: [2]. I trust C-SPAN is considered legit, so I'll update the article to cite the references.
Thanks again, and keep up the good works! --averagejoe (talk) 19:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Since you split out the article ranking minority member, really all the information from ranking member should go into the new article and most should be excised from the old. But before I do that, I wonder if we really need an article on the ranking majority member, especially as that position isn't considered important enough to be mentioned on the Senate committee membership listings, in the standing rules of the Senate, or in the Senate glossary? --Philosopher Let us reason together. 21:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Additionally, after looking at half of the House committee listings, the only time I've seen the "ranking member" listed is as "vice chairman", an article that has been rolled into chairman.
Therefore, I suggest that common sense, augmented by the naming convention at WP:COMMONNAME, suggests that the "ranking member" be merged with vice chairman and that ranking minority member retain its past location at ranking member, with a {{for}} tag at the top of the page to provide direction for those rare individuals who are unfamiliar with the common term. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 21:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
