{{cquote2|quotetext='''There is a sort of public myth that judges do not make any mistakes about the law. As far as I know there is no one involved in the legal business who doesn't agree that judges frequently make mistakes of the law.

Suppose someone was to write something like this on the ] (one of my favorite poets btw) talk page:
''My thoughts are that despite the truth of your comments (Hughes clearly does not have universal appeal, I know a number of people who can't stand his work), you will soon learn how Blacks react to people who dare to even question the outstanding status of any Black person's success!''
It would raise some eyebrows, wouldn't it? Especially if this same user exclusively edited articles on African-Americans and everywhere tried to minimize the accomplishments of African Americans and simultaneously exaggerated the faults of some African-American individuals, ] style. But, hey, you do it on Poland related articles, it's cool. They shoot the person who has the unbelievable gall to actually notice that there's something wrong here, rather than the person who is actually making these kinds of edits. I am genuinely sick to my stomach. And I've been here for awhile and I've seen a lot of nasty crap on Misplaced Pages, so it takes a lot to make me sick.
Suppose someone sits down where you are sitting right now and announces to me that he is Napoleon Bonaparte. The last thing I want to do with him is to get involved in a technical discussion of cavalry tactics at the Battle of Austerlitz. If I do that, I'm getting tacitly drawn into the game that he is Napoleon Bonaparte..

Suppose someone was to write something like this on the Langston Hughes (one of my favorite poets btw) talk page:

It would raise some eyebrows, wouldn't it? Especially if this same user exclusively edited articles on African-Americans and everywhere tried to minimize the accomplishments of African Americans and simultaneously exaggerated the faults of some African-American individuals, Willie Horton style.

In place of misapplied, misunderstood, naive and often hypocritical WP:AGF, my Misplaced Pages philosophy is WP:T4T (which is about as good as you can do in an imperfect world)
Domar serfdom model (did factor endowments (land-labor ratio) determine whether a pre-industrial economy ended up with slavery, serfdom or free labor?)
Brenner debate (related to the above, what ended feudalism in Western Europe but caused its re-emergence in Eastern Europe?)

Did you know... that despite great risks, the Polish minesweeperORP Rybitwa successfully towed her sister ship ORP Mewa to port after Mewa had been hit by German bombs in September 1939?
