i could edit it. what wouldbe a better way to say it? harmful materials? flame wars? i think "controversial isues" might work.

Last I heard, he was evading acknowledging that he wrote it. Did he own up or are you just assuming?

considering the IP that wrote the article also edited a article on "the man who was thursday," bsj is quite a likely canadate. (although others have added on since then)

(btw, i changed that sentance)

Yes, that looks better. The previous seemed to have have a connotation that "Christians can't handle the outside world" so this is a better way to express it.

Or maybe it wasn't a troll and I just have a negative outlook?

No, I think the phrase was quite pejorative. Perhaps "subjects known to create controversy and strife among the community" would have been more accurate. Blessed are the peacemakers....

i thought the article was nicely neutral... i liked it. good work bigsleepj.

Bigsleepj thanks you from beyond the...uh, equator?

Just to clear things up, indeed I admit I wrote it. I did it singularly because I believed that the CAA was a relevant enough webcommunity to actually warrant a Wiki-article. Lesser and greater webcommunites have articles there and I thought it might be a good project for all of the CAA to work on together. Admittedly I was not the greatest criminal mind of our time, considering that I was the first to report it. In retrospect taking evasive action for my statements were childish (or foolish which is very similar) but at the time I felt for whatever personal reason that they were justified. But since the metaphorical cat is out of the symbolic bag, I decided to come clean.

The original article has been edited several times by myself and others. Much has changed from the original contents. Yes, that is an ambigously evasive statement.

Has anyone mentioned the proposed Podcast yet in the wikipedia article?

I am pretty certain though that I did not write that!!

Capital piece of detection work, Turkish Monkey. Good job.

And, to paraphrase Forest Gump, that's all I'm going to say about this. Consider this closed. Yup, I'm still being evasive.

XD nice one.

I learned from this today that One Piece is a DND title... Wow, I don't even bother reading that thread, since I thought I knew what was DND... I didn't realize any new titles were added...

Not a personal fan of Wikipedia but meh. Nice one BSJ.

Nothing direct to say on the main topic that I haven't already said.

To clarify: the One Piece dub is on the list, but not the original anime. It was added to avoid any further "We hate the dub" threads/derailments.

There are also threads entirely dedicated to Goths and J-Rock although this has been met with some controversy between forum members.

Hmm, so why's this then?

The most recent addition to the DND list is the English dub of One Piece.

I don't want to start a debate if this is a DND, but why's it been banned?

Sorry if I'm bordering on DND here, I guess I missed why these things are controversial.

DrNic wrote:Hmm, so why's this then?

Some members think the Gothic style and Christianity are incompatible. As far as J-rock, some J-rockers dress kind of girly, and some members have expressed concern that this goes against Biblical teachings. I'm not taking sides, just stating the viewpoints.

I don't want to start a debate if this is a DND, but why's it been banned?

Because lots of people have gotten tired of seeing the sub-only One Piece fans continually trash the dub. So that is why it's on the DND list. As uc said, they're not saying that you can't talk about the sub of One Piece, just do it without bashing the dub.
