*****Don't worry, I am in fact well and busy. And the few times that I tried to do something non-trivial here again, I was immediately discouraged by even more extreme behaviour than I had experienced earlier. I don't know if things are really getting worse or if the difference has to do with my long absence, or even with my grumpiness due to the extremely unsatisfactory working condiditions I had last year. But in any case this is not an environment in which I am willing to make any substantial contributions. For a while I tried to work on the Interlingua Misplaced Pages instead, but then I realised that a Spanish pedophilia advocate was the other most active user there, and there seemed to be no competent steward available to look into this. Currently my major online activity is learning Dutch and Scandinavian languages on Duolingo (while waiting for certain more interesting ones) and supporting other learners there. ] 09:18, 26 November 2014 (UTC) | |||

::Yes I am involved. I did state that it would not be me blocking you. There have been requests for evidence. Misplaced Pages is based on sources not editors opinions. If you do not provide high quality sources along with suggested changes nothing will change. Attempting to continue to add tags is disruptive. | |||
::On a professional level I do not nor would I ever perform this procedure. Personally I am against it except when medical indicated (and yes it sometimes is). The English article is not pro-circ. It states "No major medical organization recommends either universal circumcision for all infant males (aside from the recommendations of the World Health Organization for parts of Africa), or banning the procedure." Best ] (] · ] · ]) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 17:10, 12 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
:::Yet you seem to be insisting to write and organise the article based almost exclusively on Pubmed sources and according to MEDRS. As this is as much a cultural and political topic as it is a medical topic, the resulting American medical bias is inappropriate and makes the article seriously POV. | |||
:::For comparison, here is a translation of the layout of the corresponding article in the second-largest Misplaced Pages, the German one: | |||
* Circumcision in cultural history and religion (Origins and ritual significance of circumcision; Circumcision in Ancient Egypt; Judaism; Christianity; Islam; Modern Era; Present) | |||
* Performance of circumcision (General; Gomco clamp; Plastibell; Coverage of the frenulum; Traditional circumcision) | |||
* Styles and forms of circumcision | |||
* Medical and aesthetic motives for circumcision (Indication; Contraindication; Hygienic and medically preventative motives; UTI; Balanitis; HIV infection risk; Transfer of other infectious diseases; HPV infections; Penis carcinome; Aesthetic and cosmetic motives; Female preference; Hirsuties papillaris penis) | |||
* Impact on sexuality (Influence on penis sensibility; Masturbation; Intercourse ) | |||
* Possible problems and complications of circumcision (Medical complications ; Subsequent psychological problems) | |||
* Criticism of circumcision of minors (Historical controversies; Present criticism of circumcision; Subjects' lacking capacity to consent; Positions of German professional organisations; Religion and culture as justification of circumcision; Health consequences; Differentiation from female genital cutting) | |||
* Regulation of circumcision of minors in various states (list of countries) | |||
* Depiction in art | |||
* Interpretation in psychoanalysis | |||
:::And here the outline of the corresponding French article (top level only, for brevity): | |||
* Ritual practice | |||
* Circumcision in the anglo-saxon world | |||
* The surgical procedure and its consequences | |||
* Geographic distribution | |||
* Legal aspects | |||
* Intactivism | |||
* Psychoanalytic perspectives and psychological consequences of circumcision | |||
* Controversies | |||
:::There are many aspects in which the English article is better than the German and French articles. But only the English article has the peculiar quality that an atheist could read it with a completely open mind and as a result decide that it's best for their newborn to be circumcised. | |||
:::It appears that for years a British circumcision fetishist (not using the word as hyperbole but as a technical description of a specific sexual perversion) had control over the article. (If you didn't know this I will see if I still have the pointers and send them to you privately. May take a week or so, though.) Unfortunately the structure of the main circumcision article and the various related articles still carries much of that legacy. ] 20:02, 12 January 2014 (UTC) | |||

:::::Thanks. However, I misremembered an important detail, so I just had to correct my description. But given that the guy has been active so recently, I guess Jmh649 = Doc James was already aware of him anyway. ] 13:37, 13 January 2014 (UTC) | |||

"no, YOU are making the scene" doesn't seem to be a good response to "IAR is still policy. The alternative would be making a scene." Obviously, what I tried to express is that regardless of what the current fashion for closing AN threads may be, non-neutral and misleading closing comments must still be highly inappropriate and just appending a quick counterdeclaration is a milder alternative to starting a thread discussing the close or reopening a discussion that has run its course. | |||
