[edit] Kant and conservatism

I took another shot at this, have a look at Talk:Conservatism#classical_conservatism_and_philosophers - Jmabel 06:14, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about that. I've posted a response. I might have mentioned by the way that I don't really view Kant as a "transitional figure" as you put it, since he is so close to where contemporary philosophy stands. -- Hyperion 16:52, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Webpage

It's down, and web-archive version is pure ads. How come?

Also, you said you have read Hegel originals, so maybe you will shed some light for me here? 217.25.194.150 11:49, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Personal attacks in edit summaries

Civility and restraining oneself from personal attacks are core requirements in wikipedia. This edit summary and these edits about Jake may be construed as attacks. It is best for all wikipedians to restrict comments to content and not editors. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 20:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

My comments were not meant as attacks. As far as I am concerned, your and Jake's deletions of the link I added were themselves uncivil, given that these deletions are completely unjustified according to Wikipedia guidelines, for the reasons I gave in the Talk page. -- Hyperion (talk) 20:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
You may wish to review Wikipedia:Civility. Civility relates to discussions between editors, not to changes to articles. Please remember that adherence to Wikipedia:Civility is as important as any other wikipedia policy. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 21:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Ha! You decided to remove a link from the anti side, instead of taking up my suggestion to add another link to the pro side.
Fine by me. I don't care about the other links in the anti side, since I imagine they would turn up with a simple Google search. BTW, I noticed that Jakew deleted an addition that I made to "Circumcision and law". I'm not going to resist that, because I think it's pretty clear that the tide is turning on male circumcision: now that female "circumcision" has become an issue, people are coming to understand that male circumcision is analogous. But I don't imagine that Western countries will go so far as to not allow Jews to circumcise their sons for religious reasons.
You might want to check out a thread on male circumcision in a New York Times blog, which is what prompted this latest activity of mine at Wikipedia: The Rights of Baby Boys -- Hyperion (talk) 07:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
