love the turtle basking pic

what is that duck doing?TCO (talk) 16:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I believe that duck, who has some behavioral problems, is violating his interaction ban, and maybe his topic ban too.☺

. If he did something like this here on wikipedia, he would have been blocked indefinitely, and his talk page access would have been removed at once. ☺ --Mbz1 (talk) 16:47, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I've been perma-banned before. I was sticking my beak into turtles and flipping them off basking logs and the like. :)— Preceding unsigned comment added by TCO (talk • contribs)

You are so lucky! I mean at least you know what you were perma-banned for ☺. I wish I knew what I was perma-banned for ☺. Well, it's OK. I am just trying to look at my ban as at yet another experience that comes from editing Wikipedia.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I have a cool turtle pic, but it will die soon, because of a sign being copyrighted. Good thing the turtles themselves are not copyright.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TCO (talk • contribs)

Nice image! I have one with a sign "polar bears behind this point" that I took in Canadian Arctic, but I guess there's no use to upload it. BTW about the signs. We were driving in Western Australia, and emus, wild goats and of course kangaroos were jumping in front of our car from all directions. I asked a local why don't they have signs like "kangaroos crossing". I told him that in US we have signs for deers, bears and other animals. The local responded to me in his very pleasant Australian ascent:"There's no use for those sights here in Western Australia.Kangaroos are crossing everywhere." and then he added :"No worries, mate" ☺ --Mbz1 (talk) 17:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Mossad shark and Zionist vulture

Don't you think this could be construed as an WP:ATTACK article?? I would have thought after the extensive arbitration you've experienced you might be a little more reserved when dealing with I/P issues..... NickCT (talk) 20:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I am glad you liked the article! Attack article, and who is attacked by this article, if I may ask? This article has a reliable source for each and every sentence. This article is something to laugh about, but attack??? To tell you the truth I could not stop laughing last night while I was working on it, and all my friends, who read it said it was one very funny article. BTW, Nick, I would not mind, if you are to open AE on me for my "attack article". This could be fun too.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Mbz1, I didn't come here to threaten you with arbitration. Frankly, I think arbitration is usually pretty silly. I came to simply ask whether you thought someone might read this article and think the point was to humiliate Arab governments by making it seem as though they were fervent conspiracy theorists?

Even if this wasn't your intent in creating the article, I credit you with being smart enough to know that this is how someone might perceive it. Given that's the case, don't you think it's a little dangerous, as you've been on the docket quite often for Israel-Palestine WP:BATTLEGROUNDing? NickCT (talk) 21:04, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Come on now, Nick. You came to my talk page, called the article I wrote an attack article, and you are talking about mine WP:BATTLEGROUNDing behavior? It is really something! BTW, if I may ask, do you believe all those articles I used as sources to write this one like for example the one by BBC Saudi Arabia 'detains' Israeli vulture for spying are attack articles too?

To answer your question about humiliation Arab governments, no,I cannot humiliate neither them nor anybody else for that matter. I have no power of doing so. Arab governments, as any other governments in the world, could humiliate themselves by their own words and actions and IMO they often do but, no, they cannot be humiliated by my words and my actions. My own words and actions could humiliate only myself, and nobody else. For example, you came to my talk page and told me I wrote an attack article. This statement humiliates you, but not me. I am trying to act as Rudyard Kipling wrote in his famous If, which I consider the only way surviving unfairness and an absolute lack of common sense here on wikipedia:

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you

But make allowance for their doubting too,

................................................

................................................

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

Please have a nice day.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

re "called the article I wrote an attack article" - Note that my exact comment was "could be construed as an WP:ATTACK". That doesn't mean I was saying your article is an attack article, but that someone might think that it is an attack article.

Anyway.... I was just suggesting that you might to maintain more distance from I/P articles. It would be a shame if we lost your beautiful pictures because you were blocked. You may recall that the last time you were blocked I appealed for you on the basis of your photography?

Love the Kipling poem. Are you implying that you are the knave, the fool, or the son?

My best, NickCT (talk) 21:55, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Nick, this conversation is almost as funny as the article I wrote last night ☺. First you have threatened me with arbitration, and now you are threading me with a block, and after that you're asking who I am implying myself with in the poem! Oh, my... Haven't you realized yet that my contributions and my blocks do not depend on each other at all? ☺

BTW last time we talked about my pictures you said you would get a camera for your girlfriend that she would be able to take pictures as good as I am. Any success? --Mbz1 (talk) 22:40, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Have you read this? Interesting opinion piece on this exact subject. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 22:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I have not read it yet. Thank you for pointing this out. It is very interesting!--Mbz1 (talk) 23:25, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

You'll find that Nick's sensitivity to the humiliation of Arab governments is misplaced in this case. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 23:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh, for this one I have not even needed to read the opinion expressed in the Wall Street Journal. I have known what Nick is about for quite some time time, you know, but I just forgave him because during my last block he did appeal for restoring my talk page access. ☺☺☺ --Mbz1 (talk) 23:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Sigh..... Well I tried.... Good luck Mbz1. Keep on posting photos. NickCT (talk) 03:01, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

See, Nick, even your suggestion that I might get blocked for writing an article that so far was voted to be kept by many editors including a few administrators proves my point that my blocks and my contributions do not depend on each other.

Me

Here are the articles I wrote How many of those are about I/P conflict, 6,5, how many, Nick? And who from your side wrote something like for example The Mountain of Israeli-Palestinian Friendship that I did? No, my blocks do not deepened on my contributions. They depend on the number of trolls and wikihounds, who hardly wrote an article themselves,who hardly uploaded a picture, and, who are spreading lies about me like that one for instance, the lies that fools would listen. Goodbye, Nick, thanks for your concern. This matter is over.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
