Debt-based money

I notice you attempted to bring some sense to debt based monetary system. You may want to glance at debt-free money, which I have edited down to a stub from a steaming pile of nonsense. Given the strong views held by whoever is advocating use of this term, I expect it will be subject to further dispute.--Gregalton 03:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. I find the behaviour of this type of wikipedian follows a fairly consistent pattern common to conspiracy theorists, fringe 'academics' and just plain old nutbars: (i) show up and create or edit pages massively in a short period of time, often linking to their own works; (ii) violent reactions to requests for some basic references, inability to comprehend or unwillingness to read the basic wp policies, some back and forth, possibly some sockpuppets and periodic bans, etc; followed by (iii) a huffy departure with some calumny and accusations, wp having proven that their truth is being actively suppressed. My own experience with this is thankfully somewhat limited, but see historical cost accounting and hyperinflation talk pages and archives for a particularly prolonged example.--Gregalton 09:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(2) Sorry I didn't respond to your note earlier. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're proposing, but yes, I would be concerned that it would constitute original research. And I don't know how to do what you're asking about (reply so that it shows up) except for putting a watch on the other user's talk page.--Gregalton 11:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
