Crimes in Japan are very interesting. by any measure they have very low crime, but not as low I think as is reported. Many crimes get reclassified as non-crimes in order to keep their impossibly high (98%+?) closure rate.

| In an article about such a clearly and highly inflammatory subject, how or why the term "holocaust" is even used is beyond me. The discussion is about gun control during the Nazi regime of 1930s and 40s Germany, plain and simple. Yes, the holocaust is a horrific and significant part of that era, but its "one part". Everyone involved needs to take a deep breath and stop injecting such vitriol into what should and CAN be a civil discussion. IMO, Gaijin's only transgression was not censoring himself enough so that others could not twist his comments so that this type of action was taken. --] (]) 20:24, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :I am somewhat confused as to your comment about why the holocaust was brought up. Surely Kristallnacht is generally considered part of the holocaust? The most documented/commented on parts of the nazi gun confiscation are directly in the sub-context of kristallnacht. the content dispute in the article is about did the nazi's use gun control against the jews (and to what degree did that contribute to the holocaust). Bringing up the holocaust is entirely appropriate in this context is it not? ] (]) 20:32, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| *Here's a problem: the language of "twist", which supposes that in this case the blocking admin, for instance, deliberately made something mean something it didn't mean. That's assuming bad faith, and in such discussions it's always unhelpful, and can't be proven anyway (same with some comments on ANI about "silencing the opposition"). Really, such comments are personal attacks, and you (Scalthotrod) are not helping Gaijin's cause. Gaijin, Part 1 is indeed somewhat unhelpful, though I have a different read on it then does ]; what I think is problematic is the word "invalid". As difficult as it may be for you to see, since you obviously thought differently over the interpretation of your comment, you simply have to accept that it was interpreted very differently by a number of editors including two administrators. That's unfortunate, perhaps, and possibly erroneous, but given their interpretation ("you accused someone of holocaust denial") their reasons for the block were valid.<p>A better request leaves that out and acknowledges that their interpretation was not what you intended, and that you will make ''damn'' sure that such misreadings will not occur again. Now, I also saw the older comment, the one you made , and I find it acceptable that someone looks at the recent comment in that light and finds something of a pattern. It is important that you not continue such a pattern and that you will say so. I'm on your side in the unblock request process, but that doesn't mean I'm going to criticize the ones who block you and who support the block, and I'm not going to demonize anyone on either side--well, not you, or North, and other editors of good faith. Ha, editors who are wrong! but of good faith. Your supporters would do well to also refrain from such counterattacks: there is no conspiracy. Good luck. ] (]) 20:36, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::{{u|Drmies}}I have tweaked my request to be more clear on that point. interestingly I was composing a note to you which got {{ec}} with your message above. in the aNi, you discussed 1938 and said that was prior to the holocaust. I do not believe that is the (universally) accepted definition. The holocaust often taken to be more than just the "final solution" our own article on the topic goes significantly into nuremberg laws and other repressions happening in the '33-'35 range. In this sense, I was using Holocaust to mean "the whole of negative actions taken by the nazi's against the jews" and not referring specifically to gassing/cremation/etc. (Would this be helpful to clarify in my unblock?) ] (]) 20:52, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::I have a more narrow definition, I suppose, focusing on the Endlosung and perhaps starting in 1941, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter that much, I suppose. I don't think this needs to be qualified. Now, I don't agree with your statement below, "editors have plainly stated that not only was the gun control unimportant, it was in fact not gun control"--that's precisely what's at stake there, and you're not ascribing this properly, IMO: your opponents, as far as I can see, argue that it was ''less'' important than our current article suggests, not that it was unimportant or not gun control. But that's another matter. Good luck, again--you and I have been so active in this discussion that it would be inappropriate for me to unblock you (it might be construed as lending myself moral leverage over you, for instance, and I want to keep the air clear between us), but the next admin might be willing to accept it. Take care, ] (]) 20:59, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Indeed I understand and agree that it would be inappropriate for you to unban me. Regarding miscontruing my opponents, I believe you are incorrect. You are lucky not to be involved in this clusterfuck as long as I have been, and therefore not aware of the rapidly moving goalposts in the arguments, but I think you will find the first post in this section quite explicit. I can hunt up other similar comments if needed ] or (unable to link to this since its in an archived section, so just quoting) "When people think of gun control, they think of a broad (non-discriminatory) governmental policy of limiting private gun ownership" ] (]) 21:10, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| {{u|Paul Barlow}} Per my comment just above to DrMies, I was perhaps using a wider definition of Holocaust than others, including the nuremberg laws, and other repressions, and not just the final solution - in particular ] which I would be very surprised to think was not generally considered an element of the holocaust. . (Our own article as well as many reliable sources do the same). One may certainly debate about how important gun confiscation was from jews, and what counterfactual alternate history would have looked like - but it is an established fact that Nazis did pass laws which confiscated guns from Jews. editors have plainly stated that not only was the gun control unimportant, it was in fact not gun control. Attempts to redefine gun control to not include laws that took guns away from jews is orwellian. While certainly this does not rise to the level of saying something like "6 million jews were not exterminated" it is attempting to ignore the existence of basic facts from history for political or other pov reasons. ] (]) 20:52, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| {{u|collect}} in addition the peace/war problem would exclude other elements of the "political" version of things that would be useful. The US jim crow gun control laws (already in the article in the US history section) could also go well into the political section, which would help keep the "history" section a bit more pure and less argumentative. ] (]) 20:55, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| I am encouraged by your comment that you will "focus on keeping things more civil going forward". I would like to hear your explanation of your "if the shoe fits" comment before I unblock you, however. ] <small>(])</small> 21:31, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :{{u|gamaliel}} This discussion is quite heated and stressful, and I sniped. such sniping was inappropriate. However I was not referring to specifico, nor to any recent event. In the prior (months ago) discussion, editors were indeed disputing the basic established facts (rather than disputing their importance, or their implications for modern debate etc). (see the link"e I mentioned to drmies above) At that time said that some of my opponents "arguments reeked of holocaust denial" (using a wider interpretation of holocaust than it appears others many use). specifico brought up a comment made many months ago, my response was in that same time context. to a degree, this is a guilty plea - the "shoe fits" comment was indeed intended to mean that people were attempting to deny basic facts about history (though not intended to mean they denied the final solution etc) . the comment was inflammatory and inappropriate both then, and my shoe fitting comment as well (but I think to a lesser degree), although I think it is being intentionally exaggerated to mean the more specific "final solution denial" which I certainly did not intend. I am very frustrated by those that I feel are attempting to wikilawyer out of including any information or arguments contrary to their POV - however that is not an excuse, and I must always remain civil and in control of my tongue (fingers I suppose). ] (]) 21:44, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thank you. I believe everyone is entitled to lose their temper once in a while. I'm sure you can understand that when you say ], people will assume that you mean exactly what our article says it means, and they will not see this arbitrary distinction you are trying to make between that and "final solution denial". Regardless, the analogy is offensive and there are other, milder ways to say that people are denying what you see as historical fact without resorting to this emotionally and racially charged comparison. If you're willing to refrain from further inappropriate references to holocaust denial, I'm willing to unblock you. ] <small>(])</small> 21:55, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::{{u|Gamaliel}} I certainly will not use the term "holocaust denial" again, or say anything that could imply doubting of the final solution. Additionally, I will endevour to be more civil in this and all discussion (I even promise to be more civil off-wiki!) However in the interest of complete honesty and openness, When my opponent's arguments warrant it, I do reserve the right to continue to argue that they are attempting the ignore/minimize/misconstrue the existence of established historical facts regarding the implementation of gun control targeted against jews. I hope this is sufficient, but if you think I am triangulating, I also understand - but I do not wish to mislead you just to be free of a short term block. ] (]) 22:01, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||

| :{{u|Drmies}} Its marginal to not. Certainly not a big name. I did manage to find a few minor sources for it.

Gaijin often contributes to articles on ] and related topics. He somehow manages to skillfully draft text acceptable to both pro-gun and anti-gun POVs. Through many contentious discussions on article and user talk pages, he remained neutral and civil, working to keep the focus of discussions on encyclopedic content. He is ] of many articles. Gaijin contributes to articles over a wide range of other topics. He created over 30 articles; his total edits top 10k. | |||
