User blog comment:NTPYTO/I'm back, and a few other things./@comment-3541956-20120508102955

Hi guys, I was away for a bit too. Nice to come back and see something like this developing, that’s why Grammar Cat calls me “Tulip debtor boy” :D Anyway, let’s get to the meat-and-potatoes here. I’ll answer all of NTPYTO’s points one by one, with what I think is the correct way to go about it. Of course, you may disagree, after all, that’s all you’ve been doing in this blog post. But anyway, here goes:
 * 1) First and foremost (and you know I was going to say this), not everyone is Christian. I do agree with Christianity, and religion in general, to be a good way of looking at life, what with America having 35 million laws as opposed to 10 commandments, and I’m afraid you misinterpreted completely what my point about swearing is. As you say, the extract which you point to speaks of how we should treat each other well. Please tell me, when was the last time I (or, in fact, anyone else on the wiki) swore ‘’at’’ someone? The truth is, swearing is only denied by that passage ‘’when it is used to directly and deliberately offend someone’’. At all times when swearing was used here, it did not meet that criterion. And, as I said, you misunderstand my argument about this – again, I never said that swearing should be allowed even if it is a case like the above. Conversely, I proposed that we use our common sense; see this (the YouTube video the link to which I posted has nothing to do with the discussion, we had this going on for a while, and it has no swearing in it as far as I know; go and see for yourself, it was just something funny I found while browsing around), and that we ‘’do’’ ban swearing that is used in an immature and facetious manner. Even Ephesians says that the ones that are bad are those “which are out of place”.
 * 2) Second and… umm… secondmost? Yes, I agree with that perfectly. I also, agree with the fact that there are lots of other things that can be done without and aren’t necessary; banning them, however, would be a huge pain and pointless. Note that my comment about you stealing code on your RFA was deliberately placed in the ‘’Comment’’ section rather than ‘’Oppose’’, because I don’t oppose it, I just don’t particularly like it, even though it is definitely impolite and can be done without.
 * 3) Third and shiny (I had to pick a word, please don’t comment on my lack of creativity), you again misunderstand. What that means is that you can’t have pages named “****”, with inappropriate content, or inappropriate/illegal media, such as pornography. As far as I know (O_o) this wiki has neither.
 * 4) Fourth and even shinier: I am fully aware of that. That is why I didn’t protest against my image on NOBODY’s talk being removed – since I realise that it was removed since it offended someone. Remember my criteria – immature or facetious – and think: if user A is swearing, and user B doesn’t like it and asks A to stop, then if A continues, then it is both immature (especially if done deliberately to annoy B), and facetious, because it is obviously unnecessary and not needed there. I also agree with the fact that there may have been a time when I have been asked to stop swearing and failed to do so; I am prepared to change just for you guys (cuz I luz u guise so much) and improve on that to comply with my proposed policy.
 * 5) Fifth, blue and fiery, again, same as above – if they ask someone to stop, or if a more mature user sees it and asks the user to stop, then the user will and should (why does my username get the shortest argument?)
 * 6) Lastly (if I say “but not least”, I will incur a horrible cliché that is overused, so I’ll just put “Lastly”), that is not the way to go about making a point. You ‘’have’’ helped the wiki, but making threats like that is, frankly, ‘’immature’’. Also, as I said, not all vulgar language is allowed in my proposal, and not all uses of it are either.

That actually wasn’t last, since I would also like to make a point about my use of obscene words in the blog comment that Frostyflytrap linked to. The thing is, there actually is some truth to what I said, and I felt that if I didn’t place appropriate emphasis on what I said, the point wouldn’t catch, and people would still be sitting in fear of me revealing personal information about them, which I don’t want. I also promise, never again, to do what I did to NOBODY because that’s what created the fear in the first place due to the over sensitiveness of some. If you would like a further explanation of why I’m not doing what I did again, and how and why I did it in the first place, just reply and say so; I will be glad to provide one.

P.S. – NTPYTO, the reason Template:USERNAME doesn’t work in Tabber is not because Tabber makes things go wonky, but because Tabber is written in MediaWiki, which in turn is written in server-side PHP, while Template:USERNAME is coded in JavaScript (the code is at the very bottom of MediaWiki:Common.js). Since the PHP is formatted and interpreted by the server, and JavaScript by the client, the code for Tabber is interpreted ‘’before’’ Template:USERNAME, and part of it doesn’t allow the rendering of the template. You can see that by placing  onto a page – the   bit will not be rendered, again, because internal links are rendered by MediaWiki.
