Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.

Mai capirò[edit]

...l'assoluta mancanza di senso dell'umorismo dell'utenza Brownout. Che non riesco ad immaginare al di fuori del progetto. E la quasi mala fede. Vandalismo cross-wiki? Ma se uno segnala l'intervento sulla pagina di Klaudio (2 volte, mica una) e mette su en che la fonte è wiki it (quindi del tutto inacettabile come fonte) NON SI DOVREBBE CAPIRE ? e magari capire che è uno scherzo? Comunque, spero che un giorno capirai che fuori ci sono cose più serie. Stasera la battuta su Holmes su wiki it ha fatto sorridere una ragazza con atrofia muscolare, e se permetti vale di più un suo sorriso che cento dei tuoi brutti musi. Ciao, Borgo --151.68.120.193 (talk) 00:04, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Le solite menate... che noia...[edit]

"== Abbandono? == Non sempre siamo stati d'accordo, ma resterebbe un peccato: prendi del tempo per rifletterci. Ciao --Nicolabel (msg) 15:40, 5 ago 2009 (CEST)

Il problema è quello, Goro. Non è il dar del "coglione". E' il pensare che su un progetto del genere la questione si possa regolare dando del "coglione" a qualcuno, che è sbagliato. Se si pensa questo, si è incompatibili con questo progetto, pure se chi si becca il coglione fosse davvero un coglione, detto per inciso... SERGIUS (CATUS NIGER) 15:55, 5 ago 2009 (CEST)"

ovvero Blackcat che fa scoppiare anche Goro.. che strano.. eh? Poi il vandalo sconosciuto plurirecidivo sarebbe un mitomane, si intende, e il Sergione in buonafede, e il Brownout pure.. eh? E' appunto che ormai non me ne frega più di un progetto che si deride da solo.. (parlo di wiki it, le altre fanno testo a sè) --ParaponziPonzi (talk) 21:11, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Finezze...[edit]

Un signore se la sarebbe risparmiata una battuta simile (che detta da te francamente non è che non mi tange, manco l'ho sentita, un lieve sorriso, quello sì). Un signore l'avrebbe risparmiata, appunto. Ma non è il caso di Brown. Che magari in cuor suo si sentiva pure spiritoso, per una volta, e allora speriamo abbia strappato qualche sorriso, oltre alla figuraccia. Ciao figliolo, stai bene --151.68.122.20 (talk) 22:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blocco[edit]

Ciao Brownout volevo sapere quali fossero queste cose così inaudite che avevo scritto sul mio babel da sembrare così offensivo. Ho avuto un dibattito con Otilaff e con altri utenti su questo tema e i toni sono stati più pacati ed mi sono mostrato più che disposto a trovare un modo ragionevole per non creare flame o altro, ma sembrerebbe che non tutti amano questa pacatezza. Andiamo con ordine, nei miei babelfish dove mi dichiaro fascista e anticomunista ho aggiunto una frase molto semplice (cosa che ho invitato gli altri a leggere) che recita: Per questo motivo si asterrà dal contribuire a voci direttamente o indirettamente correlate a questo tema in quanto non avrebbe un punto di vista neutrale. E questa sarebbe "rincarare la dose e rispondere con sberleffi"? Stai offendendo la mia intelligenza! Si può opinare la scelta di scrivere le proprie idee politiche, però ci sono altri centinaia di utenti che trattano politica, e non mi pare che si siano presi provvedimenti (tra l'altro sta cosa mi lascia un po' perplesso..., il fatto che magari un NERD possa castigarmi mi fa ridere e non poco) contro di loro. Inoltre la ratio del mio babelfish era proprio di dare una informazione sul mio stile e le mie idee, un modo come un altro per condividere delle opinioni e ripeto, un modo che utilizzano anche molte altre persone. Non mi è piaciuto il tuo atteggiamento perché avresti potuto tranquillamente contattarmi ed espormi il tuo punto di vista, io amo la pacatezza e mi piace confrontarmi, questo voler fare i maestri di vita non mi piace, non esistono gerarchie e non esistono autorità su questo progetto...che è basato appunto sul confronto delle idee. Non mi piace questo atteggiamento e non mi piace neanche il modo in cui si voglio far prevalere certe di idee piuttosto che altre, magari io sarò pure fascista (e ti ripeto, non ho alcuna vergogna a dirlo), ma chi ha questi atteggiamenti è un intollerante. C'è modo e modo secondo me. Non so tu cosa ci abbia guadagnato, magari la stima di qualcuno, sicuramente non la mia. Buone feste--Cesare87 (talk) 20:03, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
