Thank you for unblocking me. I assume I had to be blocked temporarily because this website attracts a lot of trolls and vandals. Maybe it wasn't a good idea for me to immediately suggest things upon registering. Sorry about that. Also, I love your username. Patriotic Gamer (talk) 17:44, 24 May 2021 (EDT)

No problem! Minuteman (run by CP user DavidB4) is supposed to catch vandals/trolls, but sometimes makes mistakes. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Monday, 17:46, 24 May 2021 (EDT)

Sorry about all of the trouble Minuteman has been giving you! I've changes some settings so it shouldn't bother you anymore. I'll have to investigate what went wrong...--DavidB4 ^(TALK) 22:32, December 25, 2022 (EST)

Alright, thanks, DavidB4. —LT ^{(Exodus 23:2)} Monday, 22:48, December 25, 2022 (EST)

Slightly unrelated but do you think that Conservapedia is becoming more relevant than ever, especially because the left is becoming so bad that people are starting to take communism seriously. People are looking for websites like this more than ever, and I think it has potential for a broad demographic. I'm a young male in my 20s, and I've grown up on good ol' Mario (which feels somewhat conservative at this point because it's one of the few media franchises that BLM and virtue signaling has not yet affected). In earlier decades, many thought the left was normal, but turns out they had this long march through the institutions, which they would subvert into total degeneracy. They are just the biggest ton of liars & make up lies about everyone conservative, especially populists. I used to be left-wing until 2020, when the mask and vaccine push started. It was very depressing for me -- to see my freedoms being taken away in the name of "safety". It reminded me of when I was a kid, as it feels as if I were one of the last to see a world before critical race theory and other divisive narratives. I pray that those days may return soon. Millions have already woken up to the truth. As Donald Trump said, we will win! Patriotic Gamer (talk) 17:59, 24 May 2021 (EDT)

I dunno if CP is becoming more relevant. Based off my understanding of our Alexa statistics over the past while, we may have lost a significant audience of readers. Our current page view growth for new page creations is rather abysmal compared to before, and vastly improving web traffic will take some good effort. Regarding Mario, you do seem to be right that it hasn't been hijacked by the woke progressives yet. And about COVID-19 restrictions, I can relate because I happen to currently live in a state run by a hypocritical tyrant. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Monday, 18:05, 24 May 2021 (EDT)

Big tech has been censoring conservative voices more than ever, so chances are that it's been burying Conservapedia from search results. The left's game is projection -- I remember growing up, others would tell me that conservatives are trying to ban things like video games, movies, music, etc. They would try and get me to think that conservatives aren't nice people (despite majority being Christians, which I am & have grown up to be). Turns out that the left are the ones who are rewriting history and slowly changing the bookshelves to be more "inclusive." They always exaggerate and twist their words against them. For instance, if we try and protect children from degeneracy, they'll leap out and yell that we're censoring. Everything the left has done is pure projection, and I'm infuriated about these lies that I've grown up in. Patriotic Gamer (talk) 18:19, 24 May 2021 (EDT)

I don't think most people take Conservapedia seriously. It is filled with conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. If Conservapedia advocated purely for conservatism without contradicting science, then more people would take it seriously. I personally do not support American conservatives, but I think that if they made themselves look more credible, then more people, even me, would take their views more seriously. ChenXiansheng (talk) 09:49, July 8, 2021 (EDT)

Can you be more specific? —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Thursday, 11:08, July 8, 2021 (EDT)

I'm curious to know Patriotic Gamer (talk) 22:43, May 28, 2021 (EDT)

That was the decree set by Andy, so I'm merely following along with the established precedent. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Saturday, 23:10, May 28, 2021 (EDT)

That explains why I've been seeing year-long blocks lately. I personally think that it's very generous because in almost every other wiki, there are those who would not hesitate to permanently ban others for even minor offenses. Patriotic Gamer (talk) 23:14, May 28, 2021 (EDT)

Ok, I see what the problem was and just fixed it; there was a </noinclude> that didn't have a <noinclude> to enclose. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Friday, 16:17, June 11, 2021 (EDT)

Here's another problem; why is this Template all in small print? [4] RobS^{Free Kyle!} 17:04, June 11, 2021 (EDT)

Alright, I just fixed that problem too. [5] I assume the issue has to do with the apparent fact that <sup> must be enclosed with </sup> in the same line or formatting errors will result. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Friday, 17:21, June 11, 2021 (EDT)

Hi i have edited Template:Infobox person as per wikipedia but you have deleted details 2 times may i know the reason? --HamzhaSaleem (talk) 12:14, July 1, 2021 (EDT)

Hamzha, Can I suggest creating a new Template with a title like Template:Infobox person3 with your improvements? RobS^{Free Kyle!} 13:58, July 1, 2021 (EDT)

HamzhaSaleem, the edits made by you and Patriotic Gamer made the template too big for an infobox and the formatting was not as professional-looking as the original version. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Thursday, 16:41, July 1, 2021 (EDT)

(this discussion has been moved to Talk:Infinity denial)

There, got it started. We need the Senate page cause people like Val Demings and Tim Ryan are running for Senate. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 20:56, August 25, 2021 (EDT)

Alright, awesome! I'll get to creating content related to the 2022 midterms soon; I still got some more pages to create on past Eastern Tennessee Republican figures, and maybe for some U.S. senators in the mid-1900s as well. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Thursday, 20:58, August 25, 2021 (EDT)

You got 50,000 hits last time, you could get 150,000 hits by election day if you get going on it now. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 20:59, August 25, 2021 (EDT)

I'm not that optimistic about a page view count going past tens of thousands even if I constantly update such a large and important article because of how our page view growth has declined, but maybe you're right. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Thursday, 21:01, August 25, 2021 (EDT)

I wouldn't worry about that. You built a readership last year who kept returning for updates as the election approached. The weakness was thin content cause you didn't give yourself enough time. You have several advantages now: (1) basic formatting is complete; (2) a loyal following; (3) most importantly you can provide almost daily updates on any particular race which Ballotpedia does not have, nor even Wikipedia. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 00:07, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

I suppose that's a fair point. I always scour for interesting and notable details related to the campaign WP often doesn't seem to include in their articles on elections. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Thursday, 00:10, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

Here's a shortcut method: Cut n past out the two large articles into user draft space. Then go line by line and remove open seats. Then edit incumbants running for re-eelction; You can retain party and name, but remove the rest, including primary challengers, etc. You get the idea. On the Senate page, you'll need to do more formatting cause some states that weren't in last time will be in this time, etc. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 00:17, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

Eh, maybe. I generally don't like copy/pasting blocks of text and prefer to word sentences distinctly in different articles by writing them from the top of my head. The only times I'm mostly inclined to copy/paste stuff are citations I add in. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Thursday, 00:19, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

I'm taking about all the ==sublevel== formatting - that's all done.

Ballotpedia probably updates their articles maybe three times a year, and has a staff working on all. Wikipedia, for most of the unknowns, has just local enthusiasts in their district working on them, although they probably have a larger project that supervises and helps with copyediting. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 00:23, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

If the page were ever to get too big and unwieldy because of all the sublevel formatting, then you begin spinoffs --United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections, California 2020 or somesuch title. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 00:28, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

Ah, I see. I'll try to remember to take all that into consideration later on when I get to constant adding and updating content on the 2022 midterms. —LT^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!} Thursday, 00:33, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

I was busy working on getting those templates added in the People's Party of Canada page and hadn't noticed at that point that you had already removed those references for pushing an LPOV. Sorry about the signals getting crossed. Northwest (talk) 21:24, September 20, 2021 (EDT)

He trashes Trump and Flynn, says Maddog Mattis was gay. While his criticism of Trump is based upon MSM misreporting, he calls Flynn a liar, which is untrue and crosses a line. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 15:34, October 5, 2021 (EDT)

He's fallen into the trap many victims of public school education have fallen into, thinking that there remains any vestiges of honor, integrity, and patriotism on the left. That someone can rise to be a Lt Col in USMC is disconcerting. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 15:43, October 5, 2021 (EDT)

Hi LT, what does "May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!" mean? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ChenXiansheng (talk)

That was my previous signature for a long while. "D.C." referred to User:Dataclarifier and "I.S." referred to User:IndependentSkeptic; both were devout Catholics who participated in lengthy debates with RobSmith from the spring to fall of last year. From what they've told me, they're advanced in age, and I would hope they're still all alive and well, especially Dataclarifier's mother. Thanks for reminding me of this. —LT ^{(The Old Right was right!)} Monday, 11:30, December 20, 2021 (EST)

Place your reverted comment on my talk page. I already complained to Andy about it. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 15:18, December 9, 2022 (EST)

Vox Day has supporters who are lawyers. And one or more lawsuits related to Vox Day and his supporters/friends have been launched such as THIS ONE. So don't add anything in the Vox Day article that is not proveable. I was very careful to put unproveable claims in the article. Conservative (talk) 22:13, December 13, 2022 (EST)

Okay then, thanks for the heads-up. —LT ^{(Exodus 23:2)} Wednesday, 22:16, December 13, 2022 (EST)

HERE is another example of his some of Vox Day's supporters being lawyers and being perfectly happy to sue people as far as defamation against Vox Day. Conservative (talk) 22:20, December 13, 2022 (EST)

One last thing. Vox Day had more visibility in the past due to his anti-atheism book and anti-atheism activities in the past and his past involvement in the alt-right. But his prominence has greatly waned as can be seen in this Google Trends graph: Vox Day - Google Trends. I wouldn't spend too much time on him. I am not going to be writing about a secular leftist wiki subsequently due to their public profile waning. It's better to write evergreen content (content that is timeless) or writing on things that people are currently interested in. Given modern air travel and immigration, America and the world is becoming more multiracial every day and Vox Day's railing against interracial romantic relationships will be seen more and more as antiquated racial bigotry. Conservative (talk) 22:33, December 13, 2022 (EST)

Re your interesting work on Anti-Semitism

• Of earlier classic, anti-Semitism [the idea], was Haman, in the book of Esther (3:6) - and actually a genocidal one.here or here.

• Paul Shmidt on Antisemitism before Hitler, in Austria vs in Germany.May 13, 1945 (The original article in PDF before his mame was misspelled by automatic digital conversation). I don't know how right he was, but that was his opinion. Per Alfons Heck his tale about (circa 1936) his childhood, it might have been different.

• As history showed, this ancient bigotry is a default one, and when it appears strongly, it is always "adjusted" to the 'current' situation as justification in finding "reasons."

Regards.Telling (talk)

[EC] Thanks, Telling. Ultimately, the origins of antisemitism, one of the world's oldest forms of bigotry, seem to be motivated by envy/coveting, since Jews were God's first chosen people. And I appreciate the shared biblical knowledge with the linked Esther verse, since I haven't finished studying most of the Old Testament yet. (Now, as for the topic of Jew-hatred in Europe, antisemitism by the 19th and 20th centuries came from different ideologies across the political spectrum. My impression from limited research so far is that while it earlier was perpetrated probably mostly by "right-wingers" associated with monarchy, it later became increasingly manifested from the left as well with the rise of socialist movements like Marxism and Nazism.)

Anyways, I must say, your analysis of the big picture is splendid and evidently grounded in wisdom. —LT ^{(Exodus 23:2)} Tuesday, 00:09, December 20, 2022 (EST)

First, thanks for your kind words. In essence, the entire subject is very delicate and too vast for me to cover. There is also the factor of seed of a default bigotry - then the expansion/exacerbation...Telling (talk)
