Mmm..

Mmm... is that playing nice? Hope so! If you are, welcome; contact me if you have any problems. The JPS 18:48, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm the room-mate of The Mekon vandal (yep, my name is inspired by him). Also, you mistakenly tagged WMarsh as the same vandal. He's not! We are all behind the same IP address as we access the Internet through the same router. The anonymous "The Mekon" vandal sneakily used WMarsh's computer/logged-in account in an attempt to masquerade one of his edits. The Mekon 19:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

I thought it would amuse you to see an edit in good faith by The Mekon in the Going Live! article. Hopefully it did! The Mekon 19:28, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Cryptic crossword

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Cryptic crossword. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. - Gimboid13 21:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Shut up! I know it's vandalism, you awful cunt. The Mekon 11:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

blocked

I have blocked you for a week due to your vandalism at giant clam and GoldWave. Since your edit record, for some reason, does include worthwhile edits, you may appeal of this block, although that

Sounds like I need to be referred to Wikipedia's nearest schizophrenia expert. The Mekon 10:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks like I mistakenly posted the above without having completed it. You might want to look at these edits to understand why you where blocked: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. If you have lost the control of your account, you might need to reset your password. Circeus 15:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

And this comment isn't good. The JPS^{talk to me} 17:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Shut up. The Mekon 17:32, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, well I tried advising. I've blocked you for making personal attacks, per previous warnings. The JPS^{talk to me} 19:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Shut up. The Mekon 19:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Poem

Thank you, The Mekon, for the cryptic poem you left on my user page. —this is messedrocker (talk) 22:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

That truly is a poem of excellence. On a related note, may I borrow your userbox? I want to adapt it slightly. Reply on here, I've got you "on my watchlist" (I'm stalking you). --Dreaded Walrus 22:20, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Haha, mine was cute...--Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 23:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Uh... Thanks. Er, do I know you from IRC? Thanks again! :) --CableModem 01:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I used your userbox, modifying it slightly. I'm just jealous of all these people getting poems.--Dreaded Walrus 01:40, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Shut up, Dreaded Bore-us. - 85.210.146.49 18:17, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

:'(--Dreaded Walrus 18:25, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I think. Have we met before? Anyway, I seem to have escaped fairly unscathed compared to some of the others. I'm sure you put a lot of work into it, but I think I'll move it to my talk page. - Gimboid13 06:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Everyone's a critic...

I am at least pleased that you read my user page! And that bit does sound REALLY big-headed, so I might just change it at some point. MIGHT. U-Mos 16:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello.

Hello. User:Pedant 22:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that you had some sort of interest in Fluence, and now you have some sort of interest in me. As you apparently take Wikipedia quite seriously (please don't take that negatively), you almost certain aren't somebody I already know, so you're after having a quiet word in my ear followed by a slap. This is understandable. That all sounded very serious, which isn't really the case - I'm just intrigued. I appreciate the friendly hello. Hi! The Mekon 22:59, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

you're gay

Does having sex with male horses make you gay? or does it just make you a horse shagger? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Plebmonk (talk • contribs) .

You're not very clever at all, are you? :-( The Mekon 00:57, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if it's retailation for my Keane AfD vote...

...but the personal attacks are uncalled for. You've been blocked for them before, so watch where you're heading with those.

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by administrators or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. --badlydrawnjeff talk 22:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Shut up. The Mekon 22:33, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Alrighty then. --badlydrawnjeff talk 22:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't take care of Mekon's comments, Jeff. He is a being of pure evil. Think of him when you look at the night sky. Did I mention The Night Sky is a song by Keane??--Fluence 00:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem. I've heard worse. --badlydrawnjeff talk 00:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

You've heard other Keane songs then? Hahaha.

No, he heard about The Mekon--Fluence 14:13, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Fluence, you do realise that when you use my own humour against me, you're paying a compliment, and displaying a lack of wit on your part, right? The Mekon 13:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. Yes it's your own humour but used against you so what would I be losing? I just took rid of your comment, word play--Fluence 23:43, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Fluence, quoting something verbatim is NOT word play. The Mekon 11:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe not, but making fun of your against-Keane status with a phrase of your own certainly is--Fluence 23:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Apparently a lot of kids are being picked on in playgrounds these days for not liking Keane. And for having reasonable sized faces. The Mekon 00:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Surely they had been being picked not by teachers but by extraterrestrians to study those beings so-called "mekons"--Fluence 00:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Extraterrestrians? Picked on, apparently you can't understand that, Fluence. ¡Tú no reconocerías la buena música si te golpeara la cara como un ladrillo! --Node 19:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Blocked again

Yes, I have blocked you for a week. Surely you understand why, so I'll simply direct other admins to your contributions.--MONGO 22:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Surely, as a known "well-adjusted and fair" power person, you would have seen fit to block Fluence in much the same way? Or is it the case that there's no friend for you to do a "favour" for in that particular case? Hmm? The Mekon 13:17, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Ha!--Fluence 00:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

You actually chose to call yourself MONGO! That's an excellent name.

Shut Up Fluence

No--Fluence 23:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Shut up and go and listen to some proper music like Big Black

No, you shut up. I'm not going to listen a guitar-rock-band which dissapeared 19 years ago... And don't think I'm fan of those guys. I read that on their Wikipedia article which is the same shit...--Fluence 00:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Fluence, if you continue to use my talk page as a battleground for your own issues, I am going to have you reported. Again. The Mekon 00:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Mmm, let's think who would be blocked first. I for posting messages on your talk page or you for offending people on their talk pages?--Fluence 22:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I have already been blocked. That's over now, Fluence - it doesn't give you the right to make up your own Wikipedia rules just for the sake of defending an unpopular band.The Mekon 23:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

143,000 people is not unpopular--Fluence 21:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Fluence, but actually it is. - 85.210.31.129 03:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

No, is not--Fluence 01:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Keane... and Fluence

I am particularly considerate about what I said in the talk page. Somehow, I am affraid not to sound too harsh for the boy. I realise that I don't like the guy, but yet again... I just don't want to hurt him too badly. I hope that... I hope that he will fuck off my admonitions (at least the latest one), but yet again I hope that he won't fuck off Wikipedia. It's always bad to lose possible collaborators. Even that kind of collaborators...

Regards: Painbearer 22:54, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I think the article is turning good. But yet again, I just don't want to predict what will happen if we enter another rever war... again.

Sorry. My bad. But I was certainly very amused by all this Fluence-flaming over you. That poor bastard really deserves nothing but pity.

Regards: Painbearer 16:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not angry at all. I almost felt bad for removing it. Yes, Fluence is hilarious. The Mekon 16:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Your edits against Tom Chaplin

Even if it's purely your opinion, you cannot offend a person (don't even think about a country) on the talk page or even on your user page. YOU'LL FIND SERIOUS TROUBLE IF YOU CONTINUE TO. I've accused you of vandalism to the talk page for offending a person, and please, I mean, I'm not stupid to know I've edited with that IP. It's logical. Since it's vandalism what I reverted I don't care about admins "coming after me". Oh, I'm so scared!!...--Fluence 00:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

You're entirely insane. Keane is not an important band - to get worked up like this really is a sign of mental illness. Continue vandalising my page if you're so inclined! The Mekon 00:24, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

You don't own Wikipedia, Fluence. You can't censor other people's opinions, particularly on their own user pages. Enjoy trying, and legions of users will enjoy seeing you gone. The Mekon 00:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

So? You ain't either. And you can't offend people.--Fluence 00:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Keane

What does this edit have to do with improving this article, and how is it not defamatory and inappropriate for any user to post? —Centrx→talk • 00:03, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

What does your face have to do with not shutting up? The Mekon 00:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

That was a joke. I'm sorry. Look, Fluence is REALLY not a bright person, and is very zealous about Keane. He doesn't contribute good content - he simply isn't capable. He's just a walking, talking attitude problem, and exactly the sort of person that makes Wikipedia a laughing stock.The Mekon 00:22, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

So you added this to Talk:Keane, the talk page of the Keane article, in order to spite Fluence? —Centrx→talk • 00:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

No, I just thought it was funny, lighthearted content for a talk page. The Mekon 00:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

It is not appropriate. Do not post any such jokes to this or any other talk page again. —Centrx→talk • 00:33, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Any user removing it from the talk page is perfectly right in doing so. Removing your jokes is not vandalism. —Centrx→talk • 00:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

You make it sound as if I just wrote "omg keane is gay" or something along those lines. I posted an example of a web comic related to the band to show popular opinion - perhaps a disclaimer was necessary. The Mekon 00:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Of course you didn't. If that's about popular opinion, why do you say is an awful band that only like children and that kind of shit? No magazine nor paper had ever said that--Fluence 00:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

You know, I won't revert your user page again. No one visits it so I don't care about it. Now, if another people wish to revert it, I don't care but remember is not me--Fluence 01:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Is not meaningless, but I just don't care since I know what I'm doing is not vandalism--Fluence 01:09, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, actually is Mexican but Is not mine and you can't prove anything, because I posted a message on the Keane's official forum telling about your comments to be deleted. Several people there don't like Wikipedia but sometimes they act. And with some logic, you can find out there actually is a P&G headquater in Mexico as well as in the rest of the world.--Fluence 01:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protecting your user page

I have blocked User:Fluence for 24 hours for vandalizing your user page. I can semi-protect it so that IPs or sockpuppets cannot edit it, if you wish. —Centrx→talk • 01:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Don't worry - I'll survive.The Mekon 01:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll keep it on my watchlist too, and revert when necessary.--Dreaded Walrus 01:50, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Request

There has been a legitiment request for you to remove the comment about Mexicans from your page. This comment is considered Racist. I'm asking you to please remove the offending comment. I will get a SYSOP involved if it is not removed since it can (and allready has) caused bad faith. Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 02:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 06:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Your Personal Attack

Reguardless of you issues with Fluence, please donot commit a personal attack on him. It shows bad faith on your part and will not help the issue. I will discuss his latest issue with him to find out what is going on. Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 20:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

In review off his contribs there is nothing in there that would warent a personal attack (Not that personal attacks are ever warented). Please donot do this again you I will have to report you. Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 20:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

What the piss are you talking about? Also, could you please type words properly? Do you just go around causing trouble with petty non-issues because you can't actually CONTRIBUTE anything of worth? The Mekon 21:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I will not re-delete the article as there is now official source for the information. (Notwithstanding the question Fluence's civility.) I did pare down the article to what can be verified from the dinky but official news link. Kimchi.sg 05:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Your remarks on User talk:Fluence

Regarding your remarks such as this and this:

It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks! Kimchi.sg 05:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Look

I'm not interested in talking to you but have you started terrorising Fluence on his talk page. If not then there's someone else who's using your name and doing things(vandalism). if you're doing it stop it now! If not then...thought i'd let you knowVictoria Eleanor 16:10, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
