Rolled back several edits of this page - it isn't what you want it to be, BDS, it's what we think, get over it. - Seefu
 * The guidelines--which you apparently helped write--say that "articles should maintain a neutral point of view" and the front page says "don't use them to troll other users." If you'd like to write about the suicide thing, do so, it's a part of my CE history. I left it out because I didn't want to write a five page dissertation on my contributions to a message board, and felt I may not be the best person to chronicle it. But referring to me as a "master of trolling and attention whoring" is both non-neutral and trolling. BlackDoomShadow 05:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

The Guidelines are to be taken kind of as a whole - the free reign of the sysops has as much weight as the neutral point of view. I'm leaving your edit up because it looks cleaner and more to-the-point, but if in the future something comes up that you don't like, or that you think is trolling, just because you roll it back doesn't mean someone else isn't gonna just re-add it. - Seefu
 * Right, I think I came across wrong when I deleted the entire section. I'm all for free flow of information and that stuff. If The People feel it's important, then that's wonderful. But the several sentences that were there before were blatent, dictionary-definition non-neutrality and borderline trolling. Saying I wanted to commit suicide = fact. Saying I was trolling = opinion; non-neutrality. Saying I was an attention whore = trolling. It starts a slippery slope where articles everywhere are turned into battlefields where people throw insults back and forth about the person instead of presenting the facts. Butters' article is a good example of a neutral article. It says what he did, and that's it. It doesn't call him an asshole, troll, attention whore, jerk, or anything else we might think he is. The line between fact and opinion is the line between this and Encyclopedia Dramatica. BlackDoomShadow 05:58, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, well, this site is also the perfect example of the Golden Rule - he who has the gold makes the rules. This site is CE's version, in a way, of ED, although we keep a higher standard of decorum. Slippery slope - good point, I'll keep it in mind, and I do know we don't want to end up as ED jr. - Seefu
