Confused[edit]
G'day, Ted,
- I must confess to some confusion as to your reversion of my attempt at dealing with a rather silly addition to the indentured servant stream. You admit, nay, proudly boast to vandalising articles you do not like, yet display a typically Seppo lack of humor at others. My point was simply that the paragraph about very well paid(cf: qld health web site) doctors has absolutely no place in an article about 19th century employment practices. If you are such a pedant, why didn't you remove the entire ridiculous stream?
- Regards, DylanThomas.
- Hmm, I suppose I overlooked the "rather silly addition" that you are talking about. I am not a pedant, but the article was on my watch page. I couldn't help to notice that somebody posted an edit to that article, and I found that you added a witty comment about so-called "indentured servants" earning $100,000 annually. I actually laughed at that. At the same time, being such a Pedant (with a capital P), I know that Wikipedia is supposed to be (in theory), a open-knowledge, Non-Point-Of-View depository of information.
- You claim that I "boast" to vandalizing articles that I do not like. As far as I know, I haven't vandalized any articles on Wikipedia. I thought about putting some time into making some humorous witty edits to some controversial articles, but I would know that those edits would be reversed quickly, and would seem to be counter-productive in the end.
- To be honest, I did not notice the addition you were talking about in respect to well-paid doctors being out of place in the Indentured Servitude article. But thank you for pointing it out. I shall remove the entire ridiculous stream, because my common sense tells me that it has no place in that article. Further, I shall find out who made that ridiculous addition and chastise them for doing that, just like what I did to Gene Mosher for his suggestion that the French Fry Girl was invited to incriminate against herself for possessing drugs.
- But anywho, it was nice reading your post to my talk page. I speak American English and you almost lost me with some of those words (e.g. pedant, Seppo). I still haven't figured out what Seppo means. Oh well. (Ted 16:01, 6 October 2005 (UTC))
