Get in NOW on the ground floor!
It's pitiful:
I see you've now moved that part off-line. I am confused by this. Why would you want people to be unable to help with writing and fact-checking articles? To recap, I made an edit on the page to fix a factual error. You don't question the factual accuracy of my edit. But you have nevertheless reacted by: reverting my edit, posting a section here saying that people shouldn't "interfere" with stories in progress, moving the article to a private area where nobody else can see it or check its accuracy, and then threatening to quit if people don't like your work. Nobody is attacking you, nobody is attacking your work. Anyway, since I've got across the info that I wanted to, my work here is done. Good luck with the final version. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 19:15, 10 January 2019 (UTC) (reply)
Ajraddatz, I think you've answered your own questions. You discredit the Signpost's editors, and me personally, by suggesting that a nascent article 3 weeks before publication deadline is going to be the final offering. As regards James Alexander, the Signpost has already received the requested information from the WMF and the article was immediately updated and its draft reposted. The suggestions that possible contentious reportages be prepared offline and published at the last minute are not new and some often are. As the magazine is neither a Wikipedia article nor a discussion about an article nor user behavior it's even been discussed whether or not we should take The Signpost off the Wikimedia servers entirely and use other DP software for its production. As for attacks, I find your accusation that I claim to own The Signpost or part of it, to be inappropriate for someone of your station, but I am just a mere admin around here and sysops are not allowed to defend ourselves without incurring even more reprisals. All this does not encourage people like me and Bri to even keep The Signpost going. Last month's issue actually asked the community if they want it continued, and if so, in what form; I don't recall seeing your user name among the comments.

As I've said many times here, I have had nothing to do with the signpost in the past. I am hardly discrediting the Signpost's editors by pointing out and fixing a mistake - this is a wiki, it happens literally all the time. You're the one who is choosing to overreact here. If you stop taking everything that happens as a personal attack against you, these situations wouldn't even exist. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 03:04, 11 January 2019 (UTC)(reply)
The only reaction he seems capable of, when corrected or mildly criticised, is a full-on foot-stomp, pout and petulant whine. Yet still, I'm certain, his poor little thought processor can't understand why nobody gives him the fawning respect he's convinced he 'deserves', and constantly wonders why there is the sound of muffled laughter and the bewildered shaking of heads everywhere he goes, as the room 'inexplicably' empties.
I adore his suggestion that the Signpost could move to its own servers - under his continued glorious and impartial 'co'-stewardship, I expect, with
nary an axe to be ground in sight... He's such a stalwart supporter of critique on off-wiki sites. Of course, this would be
different...
