[edit] What's in a name?

Hello, Mycroft --World 14:31, 18 October 2005 (UTC) (sorry, I had to after seeing your user page...)

where did you get mycroft from? heinlein's (sp?) moon is a harsh mistress? user:csours

Mycroft Holmes is the older brother of Sherlock Holmes. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress gets Mycroft Holmes from this too. Either one... Begone Demon 01:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] STUFF arguments

The STUFF page says, "Do not delete valid arguments (but see notes below); only add them. (You do not have to agree with an argument for it to be considered valid.)" The argument about Mellow Mushroom is perfectly valid. I don't agree with it, but it is still a valid argument. Please stop deleting it, or I will report you to the admins.

No, it's not. The MM fact is a stretch at BEST and should have been deleted outright when it was added on October 11. -- Mycroft Holmes 20:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

When on a STUFF page, if a user makes a bad argument, it's still his argument to make. I agree that you shouldn't be deleting other people's arguments, but rather explaining in your own argument why you disagree with it. — Image:kskunk_fstandby.gif KieferSkunk (talk) — 20:20, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
If a STUFF comment is patantly false, it can be deleted with explanation. But it's generally better to strike it out and present your rebuttal. Keeps the peace. Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 06:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] So Negative...

Any reason as to why you never vote accept in STUFF arguments? --Jnelson09 02:19, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Funny, come to think of it I rarely do either. Can't speak for Mycroft, but in my case I find most STUFFED facts to be lacking in some way, usually speculation or TTATOT. I must be more conservative than other users, I suppose. Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 02:52, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Couldn't have said it better myself.--Mycroft Holmes 03:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, well, it's one thing to vote against things in STUFF. It's another to create sockpuppets to forward one's agenda. (I know it's bumping after the fact, but it needs to be said). --ISlayedTheKerrek 16:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
