Steve is a third year Political Science major and hopes to one day take over the world. His first two years at UC Davis were exclusively built on religious activities. Steve worked with the Newman Center, the Tijuana House Project, and the St. James RCIA program. Shortly after the Winter 2006 ASUCD election Steve considered the creation of the Christian Slate and made ASUCD an obsession. Steve's activism made him visible to the Leadership Institute which assisted and trained Steve concerning politics on the campus. While holding no current position within ASUCD Steve is in control of The Davis Enforcer, campaign manager to up to four independents, is the campaign executive of two ballot measures, and has attempted to pass numerous Senate Bills. While in ASUCD Steve has made several secret negotiations which has allowed him to know information the average student wouldn't be privledged to know. His long term goals and secret dealings have given Steve an unpredictable public agenda.

Steve has other interests such as music, he is a saxophone player. He tends to collect a great deal of international techno, Scandinavian metal, American rock, and occassionally classical music. Steve also has an interest in radio and hopes to one day have a KDVS show dedicated entirely to ASUCD news and information as well as playing his favorite music tracks. Steve is also an anime and manga fan of selective titles and enjoys some Japanese movies. Steve also has a fascination with business and hopes to work in advertising and telecommunications. See his public page here.

Wiki Mission

To establish the visible presence and goals of the Steven Empire here at Davis and on the UC Davis campus. Steve will balance out the biased and politically damaging edits of those who are in power in UC Davis and in the City of Davis. He desires to protect minority perspectives and individuals within Davis from edits designed to ruin their image. Steve deems it necessary to protest institutions and individuals who rarely use the Davis Wiki. And of course Steve hopes to use the Davis Wiki as a way to test out prototype ideas and strategies by receiving immediate feedback from others. Steve also likes to nitpick at particular details he deems overly biased or not up to date.

* "Clearly atheist run states like Red China and the Soviet Union cause more attrocities than any Christian state. The ideal society rarely functions correctly if the people in charge are corrupt." Then why are you playing at being a politician?

"The seperation of church and state is a philosophy that is a means to an end. That end is a completely secular society." Look up James Madison:

"Strongly guarded . . . is the separation between religion and government in the Constitution of the United States," Madison wrote, and he declared, "practical distinction between Religion and Civil Government as essential to the purity of both, and as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States"

The result of church-dominated societies after hundreds of years of religion-condoned suffering and death is what is now known as secular Europe, which ratified the constitution of its union with no mention of Christianity. The more people push for religion in government, the greater your opposition becomes, until it can no longer be socially acceptable to make bigoted statements about atheists such as you have done. Atheism does not equal corruption. Corruption exists independant of one's belief in a deity. Thanks to dominionists like yourself, atheists are organizing to protect their rights, and our nation is likely to be more secular as a result of it. Might I reccomend beekeeping as a more productive hobby? Then again, I would enjoy a more secular society. Keep up with the good work. -KarlMogel

2006-12-06 03:48:48 This debate is so tiresome. The church has been around for centuries and will continue to rule the minds and hearts of people long after us. The atheism of the Soviet Union and China killed millions of people, eliminated religious freedom, and was the greatest source of intolerance in the history of man. You seek to consider all the mistakes of church societies but they can never compare to the acts of men who have no faith, no hope, no purpose, and who make themselves their own god for the brief time their lives allow. The secular side brings moral chaos, relativism, and it will only be a matter of time before the secular side will lose what small gains it has acheived. —SteveOstrowski

It is not secularism that causes these negative things to happen, but rather other factors such as greed, hate, strife, or other such motivations that are outside of ones religion, or lack thereof. Leaders of religious governments will also display such motivations, but for them they can abuse their particular religion to justify acting on such emotions. We can see this today in many of the Islamic governments in the present day world. - Paul Amnuaypayoat

2006-12-07 04:22:33 What coup do you speak of? Certainly not like the one in Figi. —MaxMikalonis

2006-12-07 10:48:07 Nah, like Figi, we had a chat about it after you were gone. —SteveOstrowski

2006-12-07 11:38:52 Its Fiji, dangit. (= —KrisFricke

2006-12-07 11:57:32 Kris, Kris, Kris... clearly they are talking about the coup in recent years by the marketers of Figi pudding. As in the classic Christmas Carol: Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer. Figi is clearly the "l33t" street spelling of this newly popular 16th century foodstuff. —JabberWokky

2006-12-07 15:01:06 LOL —MaxMikalonis

2006-12-07 23:05:26 I would not call the TJ house project a victory for you. —JamesSchwab

I will concede that it was a group effort, and I thank you for your involvement and support of the passing of the bill. —SteveOstrowski

2006-12-08 01:25:02 Can the butterfly flapping its wings in China be blamed for the hurricane? Perhaps not, but without it the wind would have been mild. —JosephBleckman

2006-12-08 01:31:25 Beautiful man, by the way I got confirmed for Academic Senate, you need to do that ASAP next quarter. —SteveOstrowski

2006-12-11 02:42:45 I asked what ACT has done "as an organization", not that its members are democratic, not that joseph ran before on (arguably) progressive principles. Anyways, we both know that democratic does not equal progressive. —MaxMikalonis

Joseph as an ACT member has passed progressive legislation in the Senate.

2006-12-11 02:56:15 Joseph has passed no Legislation in the Senate, his Leg. about scholarships wasn't progressive, and most of the time his vote has been against legislation that could be argued progressive. Additionally, much of what Joseph has done was before ACT, before the first election. Additionally, you are still addressing ACT members not the ACT organization. —MaxMikalonis

I will fight you to the ends of the Earth! —SteveOstrowski

That statement seems rather out of place as it is incongruentish with.. logic? I dunno, most of the stuff that you put out into the senate seems silly and addresses issues that are not problems, and though they are interesting and provoke new thought, do not do terribly much to help with the goals and objectives of ASUCD, many are just silly (ergo patriotic stuff). So I have to ask, regarding all your actions, what is your motivation in all this, why? ~DavePoole

2006-12-12 13:25:13 Hey, Steve... what kind of animé do you like? —JabberWokky

Bleach, Naruto, DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Evangelion, Big O, Blood +, Hellsing, Appleseed, and some movies that I find. Some times I like the Japanese version better than the English, it depends on the voice acting. —SteveOstrowski

2006-12-12 16:02:28 Shouldn't all the non-comment edits to this page go on Steve's public page? —WilliamLewis

First of all Paul, there were more bills that failed than that, and second this is my personal page which gives me the freedom to be as vain as I feel necessary. —SteveOstrowski

2006-12-12 16:27:29 I know Max is trying to be nasty, but if you did work on that many bills, that's damn impressive. Did you have any that passed? What was your involvement in the bills (or am I being mislead by merely obnoxious behaviour)? —JabberWokky

I figured that the bills should be up somewhere, and it is quite an accomplishment. However, i did not expect him to start reverting the public page. Note that it was PH who was doing the counter-reverting, not myself (I was digging thru my docs for more info on all of his bills so i could give a fuller picture). —MaxMikalonis

Ah... I took the heading of "Failures" as a rather acidic edit. :) I apologize if I mistook your edit as simple maliciousness. Did you get information on the bills? Fleshing them out (for instance, adding the two that passed) takes it into a much more balanced writeup, IMO. —JabberWokky

2006-12-12 16:28:00 I agree its not shady for you to take over the Progressive Coalition, just impossible. You couldn't take over an ant hill. —PaulHarms

2006-12-12 16:52:02 Steve — they are not your opponents. They are merely adding their own edits. If you're getting worked up, take a break. No worries... we're just editing versions back and forth. What's your objection to the current version (although it's hard to point to the "current" as it's probably changed since I started typing this). It's okay... no need to delete as a kneejerk act... those bills are yours, and part of your legacy. It's nice to list them. The tenor of the text is questionable, but work with people, don't simply have a tug of war. —JabberWokky

2006-12-12 16:53:22 They are both political enemies and this never occurs on any other public page. —SteveOstrowski

Sure it does... it happens all the time! Rob Roy's, this fiasco... people get very touchy. Don't worry about it. It'll be alright in the end. — JabberWokky

2006-12-12 17:36:29 Was SR #4 the one For Measure K? —MaxMikalonis

2006-12-13 07:03:28 Hey, that's their choice. It certainly gets them noticed, that's for sure. As a new slate, that's a bonus. As an established slate, it probably works against them. Something like the fable about the tiger and the tail. —JabberWokky

2006-12-14 15:47:39 No prob. —SteveOstrowski

2006-12-22 09:54:58 The ASUCD Academic Senate Representatives page should be linked from somewhere. —JasonAller

2006-12-28 13:38:58 Holy shit! We almost agreed on something! —GrahamFreeman

2007-01-03 15:36:41 Fb —MaxMikalonis

2007-01-12 15:48:38 You got a position!? —JosephBleckman

2007-01-12 16:32:15 I assure you I will fight to the best of my ability to make it close at Senate next Thursday. —SteveOstrowski

2007-01-18 14:50:15 Hi Steve —CarlosOverstreet

2007-01-18 16:54:55 Hi, how are you doing? —SteveOstrowski

2007-01-18 21:48:52 Yeah, I totally didn't understand your comment the way it was written before. I thought you were saying that the people had a right to know whether or not the pictures should stay..ugh. —PhilipNeustrom

2007-01-18 21:57:56 Even so, what would be wrong with that? —SteveOstrowski

2007-01-30 14:59:13 Steven, take it from me because I have learned things like this the hard way, but are you ever concerned that future employers in the political world will do this? —RobRoy

I like the Third Page.... thats where the CalAggie links come in. Ya can't censor teh interwebs like the olde days. —MM

2007-02-05 02:38:19 Steve, just because you got fired does not mean their is a campus-wide conspiracy against you. —JamesSchwab 2007-02-05 02:50:01 Not a conspiracy, all reality. —SteveOstrowski

Lets apply the razor, which is more likely, a coordinated effort with n people working in a relatively organized fashion in order to somehow make your life difficult/defame you/et cetera, or a near n number of individuals who are reacting to in such a way to you or something you do or say. Given the universal trend to chaos, the latter is more likely, unless I missed some meetings somewhere, however Steve, this is not a bad thing, this means there is an identifiable source of these problems, and hence these problems can be prevented and perhaps your situation reversed. People don't hate you, they are just annoyed with you. ~Dave

Comments moved, now can you address the points presented?

2007-02-07 13:17:58 HI-larious dood. Keep digging. —KarlMogel

2007-02-07 17:27:46 hey steve, you might consider taking a wiki chill pill and trying Exponential Backoff Editing. —ArlenAbraham

2007-02-08 21:41:32 Steven has been seen going from class room to class room specifically erasing LEAD chalking. —JamesSchwab

WTF? I ought to videotape him doing that. Then put it on Youtube. Then send it to Student Judicial Affairs. No, seriously, I'm ready to start bringing a videocamera with me when I go chalking. Definitely, though, if I see him when I'm out in the mornings, I'll make sure to watch him, maybe even catch him in the act and take some pictures with my cameraphone. A letter to the editor might be in order, too.

But... but... but... he doesn't consent to the filming. He will sue you and press charges if you don't put that cameraphone away! —WilliamLewis
First of all it is illegal to chalk regardless of your opinion. Second, I remove old LEAD slogans from an election ago in order to create more space for newer events. There is only so much space on the chalkboards. Anyway, if you want to film me that's fine with me. I usually go around the halls with at least one other person. —SteveOstrowski
Well, technically it is against the rules to write on the boards. But the thing is everyone does it. ASUCD, SOS, etc. The belief is, our fees pays for the boards, so students should use the. I attest to that. But then you have Steven, who one would think would want to be taken seriously. He cares enough to be in charge of two campaigns in a somewhat official capacity in this election. But you assume that the guy would have just one ounce of respect. But he doesn't. I really would like to meet his mother. I mean, Genna Carnes gives him a shot and then he proverbially spits in her face. Jonathon Leathers gives him a shot and he acts like a child. Steven is an intelligent guy, but he just needs to grow up. If he wonders why he is ostracized and not taken seriously it is because of this type of behavior. When I ran we had an incident of some Student Focus people taking down our fliers and in all honesty, since Student Focus has freely accepted Steve's endorsements and help they should talk to the guy, because if they want to be taken seriously they are either going to have to teach Ostroswki how to be mature, or cut the guy loose and publicly condemn him. I would much rather Ostrowski take the steps to be accepted then continue with the behavior of a petty humanist. Hell, what ever happened to those, "What would Jesus do" bracelets. If I see one I'll buy one for Steve, so he can be constantly reminded of the example he should be trying to set. —RobRoy

I am not affiliated with Student Focus directly, I don't take their money, and I am only interested in the election of one person, that being Ron. So I will continue to be an unauthorized volunteer for any particular cause I choose to be involved in. —SteveOstrowski
Steve, That is a lie. Does not your magazine, The Davis Enforcer, exclusively endorse Student Focus candidates. Did you not use the "no on the assembly" campaign to have ASUCD pay to make fliers that pretty much exclusively attack LEAD. When I run for office I play fair. If someone puts up a flier or writes on a chalkboard, then they have put in the effort and I respect it because I expect the same respect for myself. Can you understand concepts like that Steve. —RobRoy
The newspaper in no way endorses other candidates, we don't endorse because the empire forbids it. If it had endorsed other candidates and campaigned for them then they would have to list the cost on their expenditure form. As for the outreach flyers, I can design them anyway I want, and my superiors got a kick out of it. You were not fair Roy, you used videos and other ways to bash Student Focus when you ran. Now that it's seemingly the opposite you attack me. —SteveOstrowski
Woah there buddy, Student Focus could have made there own video. They could have just as easily learned how to rhyme and drop a beat. I did nothing to get in their way of that. I feel guilty about some of the stuff in that video, now being a senator and having the gift of hindsight. I was a little harsh. But at that time ASUCD was not at its best in reaching out to the students or having the students best interests in mind. But I tried to be fair. When I got my housemates from the Playboy Millionaires to play on the MU Patio during lunchtime on election day I made sure it was non-partisan and allowed all candidates who wanted to to speak between songs about the importance of voting. And I encouraged them to not make it be about slates and whatnot. I made pinatas that mocked LEAD, Student Focus, and myself. I had no unfair upper hand in that campaign. There nothing I did that disabled another candidate's ability to fairly campaign. If you are incapable of being hip about campaigning that is your own problem. So yes, I "used videos and other ways" when I attacked. I didn't erase chalk. I didn't tear down fliers. I didn't turn a topic like the "Assembly council" into an entirely partisan issue and have have ASUCD pay for flier that states LEAD, like 14 times, and how they kick puppies, or something like that. Do not confuse my tactics with your tactics. Talk to the people that ran in my election as well as the people I served with. Ask them who is shadier - Rob Roy or Steven Ostrowski. Deep down in your heart of hearts (assuming you have one), I think you know what they will say.

Oh and as far as The Davis Enforcer not endorsing people. That is like saying Fox News doesn't endorse the George Bush agenda. Oh Steven, sometime I envy your innocence. I bet you think that Star Wars actually happened, somewhere, long ago and far away. Palpatine is a cheater, so I guess I shouldn't except anything less than you emulating your idols. —RobRoy

Well honestly at the time there was not much to bash lead about, Rob did it because it was a real problem, and he was trying to propose real solutions. He did not tear down their fliers, that would be restraining their freedom of speech in some sense, he did not play dirty or unfair. You on the other hand are removing the statements exclusively of the LEAD slate, and in addition you printed fliers which are bashing lead under the guise of promoting some other side of a completely different issue. This may be interpreted as harassment, and as such you are harassing a group of people based on a political agenda, which is something mentioned in the ASUCD constitution I believe, as such, someone could easily file a court case against you, judging by how much shit you pull, these cases could stack up, I dunno if it would actually do anything, but it would still be nice for the court to have some real cases involving you for a change. Steve, i have tried to help you be less of a jackass, obviously you either intend to be a jackass, or I have failed to teach you (considering I have taught middle school kids for the last two years, that is saying something). I honestly wish the best for you, ~Dave
LEAD erases Student Focus chalk flyers all the time, it's illegal whoever does it. As for the flyers LEAD is trying to prevent freedom of speech and I do not feel that this is appropriate. —SteveOstrowski And I am immune to court cases, because the election will be over before the court case even begins. —SteveOstrowski

2007-02-09 12:52:00 I think someone here should consider taking a permanant break from ASUCD poltiics. —KarlMogel

I agree, it's time for Daniel Poole to remove himself from ASUCD. —["SteveOstrowski"

Unlike you, "Daniel [sic] Poole" doesn't go out of his way to create shitstorms to feel like he is a victim of some "liberal" conspiracy. —WilliamLewis
OK, I keep seeing this page come up, and it just makes me shake my head. Steve is just a kid who wants some attention. He acts out alot, but he is harmless. Sure, it gets annoying, but I guess the easiest way to deal with Steven and his antics is to ignore him. I mean as far as ASUCD goes, we have real work to do, I don't care if Steve wants to run around in circles making stuff up. That is his perogative. I just keep wondering why so many people put so much energy in dealing with a kid who at the end of the day hasn't really accomplished anything. I guess I am as guilty of it as anyone, but I am tired of it, and I think most people are too. Andrew

Agreed, he is a troll it seems, a troll in real life. ~D

You guys make your own news by now censoring my flyers, what's up with that? —SteveOstrowski

2007-02-09 13:12:54 Everyone's taking their kiddie government too seriously. —JoshFernandez

In my self defense, I really don't care much about the ASUCD it seems fine on its own, I care about the people involved, this is mostly petty argument that does little to solve problems that don't really matter. ~D

2007-02-09 14:49:42 In context to this conversation, the first time I really interacted with Steve was when he im'd me last May or June about Christian Slate stuff. He got my info from facebook, and as we know he loved facebook. A friend in a computer lab told me he was trying to look up Jaime Rabba too (who had left a comment). Anyway, he was fanatical about "must win" and "beating LEAD" and all that stuff. I still have the aim conversation, I was so confused, I felt like it was all a game to him, and his response was something like a game I must win! Oh, and that the Christian Slate stuff was just a front to get a voter base because it worked for Keith Shively, and how he just needed the votes and didn't care how he got them because he just needed 1 seat, etc. I guess he was more upfront about this stuff back then. —EdwinSaada

Actually, I have asked him, and he has made references to this all being a game, but the notes about it being a conspiracy, worry me a bit. In any event, despite what hollywood would have you believe, having something think something serious (an extreme example: thermo-nuclear war) is merely a game would be horrible, Steve seems like the type of person to mess with stuff without consideration of the consequences to others. ~D

2007-02-09 16:16:42 When we talked way back then, you had mentioned how LEAD was "running a Communist", and your slates have always been against communist resolutions or whatever here on the Wiki. I remember your blog post Silence Them, about the guy who walked into an African American Studies class to write a racist, derogatory midterm. I just thought about your point of If you want to destroy an idea you need to silence them in the press, find those who did it, and disappear them. I was wondering whether you consider it similar to how communist countries such as China have been repeatedly accused of silencing critics, and of censoring their media or closing down papers that print things against what they want. The professor upon finding the midterm should have kept it for a little while and quietly waited for someone to try to claim it. After the quarter is over shred it. No news story, no controversy, no problem. But of course you seldom find reasonable people even among the educated elite. Thoughts and ideals like that are what worry me about people trying to get into any political power, even as minor as ASUCD. Almost sounds like what communist China actually does, or other dictatorships have done. For someone so anti-communist, and so pro-democracy like you always wanted, it just (almost) surprised me that you're in favor of such ideals. Maybe a bill can be passed to turn the Aggie into the Happy News. -ES

2007-02-09 21:41:26 Hey Steve... are you going to be starting the other AS paper? —CarlosOverstreet

2007-02-11 14:56:56 Since your appreciation of free speech would not let me post this on your LJ, here ya go: Have a problem with the hiring process? Change it.And no the amount of people is not enough to outreach to everyone, but change happens slowly. Steve, LEAD may be in power, but we would never be powerful enough to give you a job. You did some great bi-partisan work these past two quarters getting every political slate to unite and not want you in ASUCD, LEAD, Focus, and Ignite. I really want to thank you for bringing me closer to Ajlouny and Molnar, I do enjoy talking to them. You have had such a positive impact on my life and I just wanted you to know that. Good luck on your future endeavors. —JamesSchwab

2007-02-12 02:13:50 Its Ironic that I use the first amendment to protect your pages, while you use it to defame my character and make money for the Enforcer. —MaxMikalonis

2007-02-13 11:54:32 Nice edit to the Sara Henry entry, Steve. Adding information is a good thing. The linked article doesn't quite support the verb "urged", perhaps a quote from the records might be a better citation? Regardless, it's a good addition to the entry, linking the events and people. —JabberWokky

2007-02-13 17:54:46 Are you good with website design? Why not add a link from the website to the pdf issue? There's a lot of good sites with basic html markup to help you edit it, or even lots of free software that makes a page for you. Or I guess you could ask the Leadership Institute to make a page for you, since they did the video :P —EdwinSaada

2007-02-13 17:56:06 Dude, I have the link that goes right to it. No prob. —SteveOstrowski

2007-02-13 17:57:17 Well, I meant the website itself is kind of useless then... —EdwinSaada

2007-02-13 18:01:29 Indeed it is....the website justs hosts the file for now. —SteveOstrowski

2007-02-19 11:13:31 Can you update the Unity in Christ page and link it from somewhere? —JasonAller

2007-02-22 00:25:24 Ok, well I'll take your word for it Steve, but only because you're a fellow Trekkie and power metal fan. Sorry for the baseless assumption. I'm sure that after five years on this campus there are plenty of people that are just plain tired of me and would have the urge to tear down a flier with my picture on it. I just assumed it was you because the fliers I saw missing were near LEAD fliers that were town down, and that, I assumed, was done by you. —RobRoy

Your flyers should be avenged, do you know the location of where the incident occured? —SteveOstrowski

A lot of the Student Focus flyers have been ripped down as well this election. I've had to put mine back up in Wellman and Olson three or four times - usually just a day or two after putting them up. Strangely, Nevins and Parnell's seemed to never be harmed. I'm not sure it was a LEAD agent who was doing it though, due to the lack of LEAD flyers I've seen up this cycle. - Unless they only chose to put them up late, there has been a remarkable scarcity of them. —JosephBleckman

Plenty of LEAD flyers go up. It's LEAD flyers staying up that's the problem. Same with LEAD chalking. We chalk a room, then come back and our chalking has mysteriously vanished only to be replaced by not 1, but 2 student focus chalkings. Not only is our chalking erased, but focus has the annoying habit of chalking multiple times in a room just to deny LEAD blackboard space.

The problem is that it is really difficult to catch them in the act. You will always have rogue elements within LEAD, Student Focus, and just discordian type people. Someone could rip down everyone's flyers except for one in the attempt to make that one a suspect. Some people could be intentionally damaging themselves in order to look like the victim. Just like national politics Dems can't control Sheehan, and Reps can't control Coulter, so every side is going to have less productive units. —SteveOstrowski
My missing fliers were near Young and Olson. But I will say that as far as Nevins and Parnell, some people just hate the two major parties. Independents always get more forgiveness from the general public, or from the person you find that is annoyed by ASUCD elections. The codes know this to be true. Why on earth would you get so many damn fliers. I have never used all the fliers I've been allocated. In in the election where I received 544 votes. —RobRoy

2007-02-22 21:43:33 Steve, there's a difference between criticizing people and making bigoted statements about them. If you can't tell the difference then that is unfortunate; you can't equate the two. Are you talking about the essays where I criticize the religious opposition to evolution? This is grand coming from someone who devoted a summer trying to get atheists banned from MySpace. I'm a very opinionated person, and I don't think that religion helps people to be better people (obviously, it did nothing for you). If atheism leads to moral chaos, then how is it that I consider it to be unethical to lie, whereas, it is status quo for your ASUCD political life? You still haven't unequivocally answered the question I left on your blog - now that your second email was outed, do you unequivocally deny that you had any knowledge of, or wrote the email from "The Emperor"? —KarlMogel

2007-02-22 22:08:30 Have fun in Texas! —GregWebb

2007-02-25 19:57:47 You picked an interesting place to stop in the process of editing Communications Affordability Committee. I can't tell if it is the start of something serious and badly explained, or a joke to which you left off the punchline. You identified it as non-ASCUD, but didn't identified the parent organization for the committee. —JasonAller

I did indeed, my superiors have advised me to go no farther at this time. Soon a facebook group will be created and it will be linked. —SteveOstrowski

2007-02-25 23:19:53 Your superiors? —StevenDaubert

Probably a telecommunications company that's behind this whole thing. - GregWebb

Steve, are you related or do you know who this MarieGruca individual is, she seems to be making edits from out of state on issues local to here with a spin that is incredibly biased and hateful, just asking because you added her page saying she is from San Jose, which does not seem to be her current location given her IP address. ~DavePoole

My IP address tracker says San Jose, I find it interesting when people from out of town comment on local events. If you know different then change the location. Once a user is made into a profile page they can then be answerable for their comments. —SteveOstrowski ~David

2007-02-26 16:25:37 Steven Patrick Ostrowski... you are unbelievable... you've managed to turn Davis Wiki into some kind of liberal police state/place...Freak'n A. —CarlosOverstreet

You are giving him far too much credit. ~Dave
As Conan O'Brien would say in his SAT analogies skit: SteveOstrowski : DavisWiki :: George W. Bush : Davis (All of this stink over one person who seems to polarize everyone here.)

There are no more analogies on the SAT. This makes me sad. They were my favorite part. :( —wl

2007-02-27 10:18:55 Heh, but I think that, as one of the seven sacraments, Matrimony cuts a slightly deeper imprint upon society than the Davis Enforcer. No offense to the paper or it's editors. :) —JabberWokky

I am going to disagree just to disagree, and then I will say that news media companies are more important than just some legal marriage certificate place. —SteveOstrowski

2007-02-27 10:23:14 Okay. —JabberWokky

2007-02-27 15:43:15 Please tell me WHY we need another abortion debate page on the internet when there are tons of others out there? Why does the Wiki need to be a forum? Why does this wiki need to have a huge page about something that is not specifically relevant to Davis? The page needs to die. —WilliamLewis -
2007-02-27 15:46:39 It doesn't really relate to the opinions of Davis, it relates to the opinion of the Davis Wiki editors, which isn't much use. Information about the Davis demographics (polls, etc) would be apropriate on the Abortion entry itself. —JabberWokky

2007-02-28 22:12:53 Dude, Marie is probably not actually anywhere near San Jose. See IP Addresses. —GrahamFreeman

Come up with an alternative then, my site says she is from there with a dial up connection. —SteveOstrowski

2007-02-28 22:16:12 Read what it says under the Privacy heading on IP Addresses. —GrahamFreeman

2007-03-01 13:30:41 hey, i was just wondering why you removed ToNils' entry on the Bisto 33 page. for future reference, if you remove someone else's personal comments, please document the reason for the edit —CraigBrozinsky

Lol, indeed. I will consider that in the future. —SteveOstrowski
thanks. i've added back the entry because you took it out in the middle of a time consuming revamp of the page, and i got confused. should that entry be removed? —CraigBrozinsky

2007-03-01 23:01:50 Why did you delete my comment on Catlin Stars page... I've know her for many years now, and I didn't get a response from her yet. I wonder why? Not cool... —StevenDaubert

No comment was deleted. —SteveOstrowski

moved, but you did it in chunks so it looked like it was. My mistake. I think someone made the page that had the space before she got on the wiki with catstarr which is what she goes by. Kinda like Ben Duax in terms of being savage Davisites

I will end you. — CarlosOverstreet I must break you. —Steve Ostrowski will be ruined. — CarlosOverstreet

2007-03-02 17:18:58 Revert buttons at fifty paces. En garde! —KarlMogel

2007-03-04 15:38:02 steve, i'm a little confused about your wiki philosophy. would you be willing to write a little blurb, ala the one saul wrote? specifically, i'm interested to know your feeling on when it is appropriate to delete comments (e.g., i still have no idea why you removed ToNil's relevant entry on the Bistro33 page, but you're currently telling people not to remove SD's no longer relevant entry on the choice voting page). —CraigBrozinsky

I have no problem deleting a duplicate comment, in other words, a comment that is said twice at the same time. It looked like a mistake rather than an expression. Sometimes when I have a bad connection I post three duplicate comments. —SteveOstrowski

duplicate? ohhh... that clears up lots. things got really messy during the clean up process, and i didn't realize their comment was duplicated. thanks for the info! i really do think you should write a "wiki statement of purpose" above, and to clearly state your wiki goals and even to mention that you sometimes have bad connections that inadvertently make the recent changes page sloppy. on the controversial pages you've been editing, i think people make inferences based on non-wiki interactions with you, and a miscommunication snowball effect ensues. —CraigBrozinsky

Steve, I am hardly being rash. My reason for deleting your page is because it simply linked all the information back to yourself, it seemed that this was not a company but just another page for yourself. You can go ahead and try to sell your product, but unless you want people calling you at the wee hours of the morning, I suggest that you create a page with information about the company rather than yourself. This is like Daubert and his multitude of redirecting pages, it is just more wiki clutter. Anyway, I gotta run to class, when I get back I will look into your business, because it does exist apparently, and then see about creating a page for it, that is if it deserves it. ~DavePoole

2007-03-05 09:28:50 Steve, you have been an editor on this wiki for quite awhile. I am asking you very seriously to reconsider your editing style and make an effort to compromise and work with other editors, recognizing their input and allowing it to be represented on entries. —JabberWokky

Is not a matter of that. Superiors told me that if there was a problem with the content on the Davis Wiki, we have to go back and figure out what else can be done. —SteveOstrowski

Steve, call me. 615 517-6900. We need to discuss this. —JabberWokky
I have class most of the day but I will keep the number in mind. —SteveOstrowski

2007-03-05 11:33:20 Steve, I have called and left several messages. If you are able to update the wiki, does that mean you have time to speak briefly? It is important that we talk. —JabberWokky
