Thanks for helping in the debate, I'm sorry I can't stop them getting at you as well because if I try they'll say I'm using admin status in a case that involves me. Usually this is a polite wiki but it is deteriorating rapidly and unless things improve they can look for someone else to look after the wiki. Proxima Centauri 14:39, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

I have no issue with Lumenos; I am merely pointing out that you are not being attacked by zombie computers. Phantom Hoover 15:46, 29 August 2009 (EDT)
I'm not sure what this is about. If this is in reference to the policy page, I'm not worried about my privacy. If this is about the edits to the RationalWiki article, I didn't post my edits intending them to be set in stone. When I came back and looked at the waring over that article I wondered if you weren't defending me or maybe following that etiquette policy? I don't think you should block people over that, at least not until we write some policies that have community support. Otherwise who is to say what is trolling, vandalism, or unwarranted blocking in a case like that? Lumenos 15:59, 29 August 2009 (EDT)
Proxima, I forgot to say that you are welcome for my help with the debate. I don't know if it means anything to you but my "critical" comments don't change the fact that I like you. Lumenos 17:14, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

IRC

Can we take the 3-odd discussions we are holding right now to IRC? If you're using Firefox, install ChatZilla and click on the #wikiindex link on the left; otherwise google for a client for your OS, install one, then at the IRC command line type "/server irc.freenode.net", then "/join #wikiindex".

I didn't get this message until a few hours ago. I may be up for it at some point but I have got so much to do now. Lumenos 01:38, 31 August 2009 (EDT)

How to contact Lumenos

I should be reachable eventually through the following ways:

  • "Privately":
    • Through this MediaWiki email function of Wikipedia or my wikis email (that goes to my "private" email address, which I plan to keep "using forevar" although I don't check this for months at a time unless I am expecting something).
    • My user account with the name Lumenos is on all of the following wikis/forums and should be connected to my "disposable" email address (to prevent spam) which I often check when I sign up for a new forum, wiki or something: Liberapedia, WikiSynergy, WikiIndex, Encyclopediadramatica, BioPod forum. (Check here for more recent information of where I am on the Internet. Lumenos 01:38, 31 August 2009 (EDT))
      • These should be back online soon: RationalWiki, RationalWikiWiki, or the RationalWiki forum.
      • (Note you can find this email function by going to my user page and looking in the toolbox, in the left column.)
  • Real-time communication:
    • I prefer a chat room that includes voice chat, so long as these do not have increased security risks.
