Joan of Arc's Death at the Stake
  • With all due respect, there is a difference between good faith and closing both eyes. Take a look at that guy's voting record. It is quite striking, especially in light of the careless review section on the FPC talk page. --Dschwen (talk) 20:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • With all due respect, Dschwen, we decided not to make Alvesgaspar's guidelines a rule. Also, he's obviously an inexperienced user who has not read that page. Unless you want to close FPC to non-experienced users, we are bound to get a few votes that disagree with the hivemind's rules once in a while. Instead of assuming bad faith, educate him. He's obviously not a malicious user, and if you think he is, you take FPC too seriously. --Aqwis (talk) 21:01, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dude, a) chill! b) read again what people wrote. c) realize that nowhere neither Alvesgaspar nor me said that LAR is a malicious user, d) easy on terms like hivemind please. --Dschwen (talk) 21:29, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Those few votes defying the hive mind’s rules could indeed represent an enrichment to our forum if they had some constructive purpose behind and were explained to us all (in Spanish, if necessary). Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case with this particular user, who never produced any kind of explanation for his (apparently contestant) votes. A quick look at his talk pages and edit story strongly confirms this is not a common user, in the sense that he never established any kind of dialogue with others. Assuming good faith is a golden rule, I agree. But I also endorse Daniel’s opinion that we shouldn’t keep our eyes closed. All regulars here will confirm that I have always defended that this forum should be inclusive and that a newbie’s vote has exactly the same value and importance as a vet’s. But I’m not naïve either and consider that any attempt to use FPC to make some obscure point should be stopped. Yes, it is possible that I’m being unfair and that this user is just a child, or someone too shy to communicate. Please go ahead and put a message in Spanish in his talk page (I don't speak Spanish). I’ll be glad to retract and apologize if it is proven that I’m wrong. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:29, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alvesgaspar accused him of being a borderline troll. A troll is a malicious user. I do agree that he should probably explain his votes; however, it's better to put a message on his talk page before accusing him of being a "borderline troll". --Aqwis (talk) 10:32, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Aqwis -- Please be more precise in what you say. I didn't accuse him of being a "borderline troll". I said that his vote was dangerously close to a trolling action (the FPX template was deleted, BTW) and asked him to explain. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:12, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
