Pending evil Carolinity Or is that Caroline evil?

If you do actually have the source you mentioned, I would like to read it. I would like to suggest those interested take the right direction. μηδείς (talk) 03:59, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like they are not, in fact, going to tax groceries. You can go to WRAL.com and get the lowdown on the whole thing. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:55, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know whether you have already seen my original answer to your message on my talk page, but if you have you may like to look again, as I have posted an update. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:50, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Baseball Manager

I just wanted to make Baseball Bugs aware of Baseball Manager. Bus stop (talk) 16:19, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The look of helplessness on that manager's face befits the current Marlins situation. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:21, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Soapboxing on Talk:Edward Snowden

Sorry, Bugs, but I think you've abused WP:NOTFORUM far too much on Talk:Edward Snowden - we have policies regarding what is appropriate talk page usage for a reason, and I don't see why you should be considered immune just because you have strong opinions on Snowdon. Consider this a friendly warning - or an unfriendly one - if you carry on as you are, I'm liable to raise this at ANI. I don't like having to say this, but you are setting an abysmally-poor example, and you surely know better by now. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:56, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your complaint has been noted and logged. Meanwhile, how about you turn your unbiased eye on the folks on the talk-page who want to hero-worship that guy. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 15:11, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'n not interested in a debate about what others are doing - you have been here a long time, and should know better. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:05, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You, who were blocked more recently than I, are in no position to be lecturing others about policies and rules. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:15, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ANI (though not to worry)

I mentioned your name here at AN/I in a thread about User:Capt S D Wong. Chris857 (talk) 01:00, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rand Paul

Re this discussion, I'm not sure how you can call Rand Paul a "true libertarian" given his stance on abortion. (P.S. Can we please try to keep this sort of clutter off the talk page?) --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 22:23, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will if you will. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. It's a deal. :) --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:52, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You broke your promise. I'm debating whether to raise this at ANI. What do you think? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:28, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You lost me at the bakery. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:08, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

self defense

Totally anecdotal, but I heard some pundit say that self-defense as defined under the stand-your-ground law did not at all take into account anything such as the "defender's" prior provocative actions. Hence the stalk-provoke part of the stalk-provoke-kill sequence would have been blocked by the defense team as irrelevant under that law. I have no idea if that's actually the case. Isn't it comforting to know Z is perhaps back on the streets tonight, looking for more aholes to make sure they don't effing get away with it? μηδείς (talk) 01:43, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You misspelled "asshole". I can't begin to emphasise enough the importance of using good proper form and grammar. Slight Smile 00:53, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's sanitized for TV. :) I see where Zim helped rescue somebody last week. He should take that up as a career, and maybe in a few decades he'll have somewhat redeemed himself. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:39, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond disagreement

My post stated the opposite of your assertion. Maybe Wikipedia is ridiculed because positions are mischaracterized and molehills are presented as mountains. Tiderolls 17:43, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I should post the article I saw that gives the top 10 battleground topics on Wikipedia. Hint: Snowden and Rand Paul are not on the list. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:10, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here it is.[1] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:36, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edward Snowden

Pot, kettle, black --NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:14, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're funny. That one user griped about my editorializing in response to the OP's editorializing, while leaving the OP's editorializing unchallenged. Too many hero-worshippers on that talk page. They need a broader perspective. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:03, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No need to feign surprise

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
