Flag of Northern Ireland

Jonto isn't interested in discussing this, him and Astrotrain are just posting POV tags on the articles because they want to protray the Ulster banner as a offical flag, which it isn't, they seem to just want to engage in edit warring rather then discuss the issue.--padraig3uk 15:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, there will be a way forward. What do you think of my compromise version? --Guinnog 15:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From someones user page

Someone I once respected had something like this on their user page:

Defend each other!

This is amazing! It sums up how we can use conflicts to build our community instead of letting them tear us apart. I recommend that everyone read it.

When I think about being asked to attack the contributions of a valued editor that he made under duress in error over half a year ago, I wonder if it's best for me to even comment on that, or to focus on, oh, retaining the valuable users of the encyclopedia who have done everything possible to prevent disruptive POV-trolls from inserting garabge into the encyclopeda. Actually, I don't have to think that long. Have you considered asking the user who put that on their user page if they would stand up for User:MONGO when he was being relentlessly pursued by a single purpose POV pusher?
