Not sure if actual pro-Israel troll or pro-genocide troll trying to make pro-Israel trolls look bad

He may be under the impression that the case can’t proceed if he doesn’t appear. There’s some truth to that under the Sixth Amendment but a defendant can’t deprive the state of a fair trial by not appearing, so they have Ways of making him cooperate no matter how disruptive he is.

Is this hearing the final word on his extradition? I don't understand the Scottish legal system so I am not sure. I expect Arthur Knight to exhaust all avenues of appeal until he runs out of lawyers or his wife is bankrupt, whichever comes first. This is not a man who limits himself to what avenues...

When I was an application developer and system administrator back in the Stone Age, I'd eat lunch while reading 132-column fanfold paper printouts of application and system logs looking for program oddities and sneaky intrusions that wouldn't be picked up by the IDS. https://m.media-amazon.com/imag...

If someone holds strongly racist beliefs and can edit Wikipedia without anyone figuring it out, they aren’t actually a Nazi.

Trump says he’s staying in truth social I'm sure that Truth Social will be hitting one out of the park any day now. Maybe they can merge with WT.social soon.

Weather geeks, much like road geeks, are a pedantic, opinionated bunch, with a large dataset that often outpaces the accepted standards for its interpretation. Combine that with the sort of personality that wants to edit Wikipedia, and it’s a pretty explosive mix. As a card-carrying weather geek, I’...

My favorite (just saw it today as a matter of fact) is when some random username threatens to stop making donations if we don't do what they say.

I’m a little surprised nobody suggested a topic ban on WOP.

Nothing in the media about this yet, which is suprising. A power struggle between the foundation and their volunteers? This is Essjay-level public dumpster fire. There’s nothing here the media would be particularly interested in. The whole thing doesn’t make a lot of sense to someone who doesn’t un...

That guy is my hero.

MoldyHay

Yeah that happens. All T-Mobile LTE users in the US are blocked too for over a year - it used to be the kind of block where you’d get autoblocked if you edited from an account within the range but I think they’ve fixed that.

And the only reason the OP is still here is that all of the mods have him on ignore. Just another anti-American troll who is pissed off because he still doesn’t matter.

I see there's no simple page on the ICIJ . Maybe that needs some fixin'. ^^ I also see that James Marshall Y got blocked and that the GMG weighed into the RfC discussion colorfully. He could have been blocked at any time, by me or anyone else. In this case, it was more effective to let some of his ...

Why has he not been blocked for having the word “Truth” in his name? That’s usually what happens to people like him.

The alt-right (and increasingly, the mainstream right) tend to be a lot better at complaining about other peoples' work than building anything of their own.

Even in the Middle Ages, the great philosopher Maimonides decried astrology. If people are foolish enough to try to set up endless fancruft about badly-written ...

In his attempt to create more drama, he short-circuited the drama. Classic.

MoldyHay

Yeah he did piss off a former employer and an arbitrator. But he was not subject to any disciplinary action, so it had no effect on his ability to practice law. And he has a bit of a reputation for scorched earth litigation tactics. I definitely wouldn't want to have him representing my opponent in ...

Based on Brian's choice of legal representation, I'd say Monsarrat is pretty fucked.

MoldyHay

The self-harassment bit is quite interesting. He pissed off the wrong WOP troll a few months back and had all kinds of sock puppets dragging him to ANI for awhile...I wonder how much of that was made up?

I really really really hope she appeals her TBan to ArbCom.

Poetlister wrote:The question is whether someone could get blocked for repeatedly doing things that are strongly discouraged. I suspect that the answer is that it depends how many influential friends the editor has.

So how does "strongly discouraged" differ from "forbidden"?

For whatever reason, Twitter hackers don't seem to care about password strength. My Twitter password was Not Guessable and I got hacked a couple of times before I got banned.
