maybe next you can start digging into eengs enormous hoarder userpage. im sure something in there brings wikipedia into disrepute lmao

Had an interesting evening right after starting this AN thread. My partner and I got dinner at the bar. We chatted with the bartender about how our county is more politically polarized now than it once was, but still not as bad as it could be. How it's a challenge for him to raise his kids right in...

extremely fucking funny that the reflexive urge by all of ssslivers FA buddies (tim riley, schrocat, etc) to immediately back each other up has created a block of Very Serious Wikipedia Prose Editors all going to the mat for a pretty clear cut case of pedophile grooming

mostly its because DRN seems like a baroque nightmare to anyone looking on, i think. his penchant for opining at literally every single arb case makes him seem too hungry for it If he was hungry for it, you wouldn't think he'd have taken a four year break from running for it.

tamzin had to know she wouldn't win a seat, so i respect the sheer will it takes to submit yourself to the endless tsk-tsk'ing of wikipedias tweed suit brigade, getting to grandstand about Sensible Judgement or whatever. that said. i stand in solidarity with cringe socdems (im assuming, apologies if...

funny how that works. how far we've come

Parabola

I will add, incidentally, that I probably don't agree with Tamzin that someone being pro-Trump, or pro-Stalin, or whatever, is "disqualifying" in an admin. I would find someone being pro-Hitler a bridge too far, though. (My reasoning behind that position is: fuck Nazis) I'm not trying to start an a...

Parabola

Oh, no no no, we're absolutely in agreement, apologies. My post was a whiff of a joke, it turns out. And yeah, I think you're generally right that the conservative elements, and the 'centrists' buying the watered down swill-conservatism, are a much more fractious bunch. You can see different element...

Parabola

I have a memory from the 90s of some conservative radio airhead ranting and raving about how selfish gay people were because they marched for gay rights. Why do they only march for *gay* rights? Why don't they march for non-gay stuff too, eh? Those gays: so selfish! So solipsistic! It's not really ...

Strange that nobody but those two were being an asshole to hammersoft, hmmm? What could the connection? Behave like an entitled asshole to reasonable people and you get what you get.

When the explicit reason for posting it is that, and I quote, "Behave like an entitled asshole to reasonable people and you get what you get.

If TNT (who is also a member here) requests that we remove their photo, we'll probably go ahead and do that too, but it's actually kind of a nice photo.

I'm realizing now that what wikipedia needs more than ever is an influx of trots. Everyone's had it too easy, thinking that you're dealing with the Dangerous Left. You wanna see some real leftist nutjobs who love rules? Gonna have the fuckin spartacist league start tabling at WP:NPOV. then you'll se...

Parabola

I'm imagining it, and its badass. They'd be right to want that. The thing you're doing in both cases is reading "I think [x]" and somehow it gets turned into "I'm going to force you to do [x]" as it worms its way through your brain. The countrymen of the countless people murdered by drone strikes ha...

Wait, sorry, credit where credit is due. I realized I started riffing at the end there and poorly replicated this much funnier post from MastCell on the RFA (shoutouts to mastcell, and pre-emptively: i dont care or want anyones weird dossier on him. keep it to yourself) As for the reaction to Q14, i...

Trump fans are, a unique breed, and no, I'm not one of them. I actually had high hopes when he took office, as I do any new president, to be honest. But he got a bit crazy fast. Still, you can't use that as a litmus test. More importantly, you can't say "anyone right of center" should be desysopped...

Parabola

But, since we're dealing with The Grand Ole U S of A, I'll be specific. Nobody involved in this is a hard leftist. The whole point of the Trump years was literally every single camp figuring out how they could align themselves against or for the admin, and both American Poles got in on the feeding f...

Parabola

Anyone that is a far right nut job probably has no capacity for NPOV, so surely would likely be desysopped at Arb for cause or simply never would pass RFA. Anyone that says that anyone "right of center" should be desysopped is a far left nut job and shouldn't be admin for the same reason. This is v...

There's threads every week about login attempts against all sorts of people. Its the easiest possible way to shit-stir and cause problems. its mind boggling how it still works, but I guess a lot of the older set still see anything like that and go "my god im being hacked!!!" and don't think it through

Parabola

If you think literally anybody with power on wikipedia is "extremely left wing", well, lol, you have been insanely poisoned by some shifting of the goal posts.

Parabola

No, because unlike you, I have normal human emotions. When I see an old know-nothing gassed up on his own self importance being a piece of shit to someone who doesn't deserve it, I think its nice to step in, and make good posts. One day you'll try it, and I know you won't have much time left to dedi...

The only pleasure I get from this is knowing that the people you post with barely tolerate you, and I don't think you realize that. This thread was great when it was terminal coping from wpo's little weenie young cons like Ernie, but nothing can stand if its not about you, so you just had to crash t...

It's almost fucking comical how you twisted up you got yourself to justify dropping ten thousand words about a bunch of people nobody gives a shit about anymore but who you cannot stop thinking about, because they're your internet enemies.

For a long time, I had the same mentality — I even went out of my way on several occasions to post handy summaries of old disputes for the benefit of "casual" or otherwise unregistered readers.

So you continually stalk my posts and ...

It's a bit ironic to accuse someone of "racing to the bottom" in the final chapter when in the first one you admit of challenging a guy to a fight because he did the same thing to someone else.
