:*Since you believe I am off base regarding the racism allegation, can you address the remaining disruptive behaviors, the ones that came up in 2011 at the RFCU and have continued unabated? [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 17:11, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

*'''Support''' topic ban as proposed. [[User:Joe bob attacks]] is right, "POV pushing minor ideas for almost three years is a problem". Attrition is disruptive. It wears people out. Can I make a proposal of my own? Please let's ANI topic ban the next idiot who says ''"lynch mob"''. [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] | [[User talk:Bishonen|talk]] 16:46, 30 October 2013 (UTC).

:::You take exception to one form of name calling, yet you use the word "idiot" in the same breath, all the while you ignore names like "racist". Hello? Aside from your over reacting, wanting to go as far as banning someone who employs name calling like yourself, your behavior is rather hypocritical and as such doesn't carry much weight except maybe with other like minded individuals. Btw, lynch mobs hang people because they ''assume'' they are guilty, with no actual facts to support their behavior, so perhaps the reference has some weight after all. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] 20:00, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

*'''Strong Support'''- Wow. Reading the threads below and the article Talk page(along with the comments at the top pointed to by Binksternet, it's hard to believe anyone would not support a Topic ban for this editor. There has been no good reason given for citing the two AA board members as 'biased' with the link to their bios. One would have to stick their head in the sand to not see the racism. Especially considering the compiled edits by the editor discussing this issue. Wow. [[User:DD2K|Dave Dial]] ([[User talk:DD2K|talk]]) 17:31, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

:::::"See racism", or 'assume racism'? Typically you did not actually point to a given statement and ''explain'' any "racism". All you're doing is assuming such, which is plain wrong. The reference to Julian Bond was warranted, as this individual has a long history of racially divisive statements and is now the head of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation. Calling this observation "racist" only suggests that perhaps you harbor some of your own prejudices against anyone who has ever criticized someone who happens to be African American. I have criticized several authors who are white -- are you suggesting because of Bond's race that he is above criticism? Virtually all the recent debates on the Jefferson page were initiated or instigated by someone else. If you look at the entire history of that page (i.e.the whole truth), you will see ongoing debates that involve many others besides myself. Don't appreciate being solely accused of something that has been going on there with many others for the longest time. The debates started long before I arrived. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] 19:34, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
