:Everyone here aside from you seems to have a clear idea that this is what should be changed. Simply saying that ''"there is absolutely no consensus for that"'' is no argument. We're basically saying the exact opposite (I guess...), so I'm not sure what you expect to happen here.<br/>— [[User:Ohms law|<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.3em 0.3em 0.1em; class=texhtml"><i>V</i> = <i>I</i> * <i>R</i></span>]] ([[User talk:Ohms law|talk to Ω]]) 05:50, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

::In fact, there are half a dozen more editors who have opposed this in this long discussion, five of them [[/Archive 2#straw poll|here]]; there is a long track record of naming discussion, which has generally not chosen to follow self-identifying names against usage (Schmucky's example of the [[Republic of China]] may be the only example, and that was driven by strong POV concerns on both sides, and a disambiguation issue. Xandar and his proxies are the minority who demand this language, and even the proxies don't bother to show up without Xandar as faction whip.

PMANderson, stupid comments like I "am the only person saying X", when large numbers of editors have gone on record as opposing your plans to reverse this long-standing naming convention, simply display the childishness of your yah-boo-hiss style of argumentation. No matter how long you, Ohms Law, and other members of your Tag Team spend agreeing with each other on this page, '''that does not make any consensus for the radical, disruptive and totally uneccessary changes you propose'''.

It is beginning to seem that you have no intention of discussing the issues in an adult manner, and any attempt to achieve serious discussion is merely seen by you as weakness - and an excuse for you to proceed further toward your maximalist goal. Well that is not going to happen. You either start getting serious on achieving a mutually acceptable solution, or we will have to insist on true community-wide discussion of your proposals - including all the editors of all articles liable to be affected by your proposed changes to SI naming policy.
