speaking of trolls......
......our old buddy-pal-buddy MONGO is angling for adminship again! Wheeeee!
Just for the giggles: don't forget attempt #1 (one of the most heavily sockpuppeted, manipulated and canvassed RFAs in history) and #2, ditto despite being a failure.

Re: speaking of trolls......
Nothing like seeing someone forcibly stripped of the tools by ArbCom asking to have them reinstated. Is this guy a masochist or what?
I always get a good chuckle out of the folks who Support adminship of people like MONGO by saying they "will be under scrutiny by a lot of people" and "they are open for recall". I'm pretty sure there has been a SINGLE successful admin recall in the history of Wikipedia (by successful, I mean one that wasn't forcibly closed and archived as "wrong forum" or for some other bogus reason). And scrutiny by whom? The other admins" Those guys follow a "circle the wagons" custom that puts many corrupt police departments to shame!

I see Malleus there giving some love.
Gone hiking. also, beware of women with crazy head gear and a dagger.
Re: speaking of trolls......
Yes, adding MONGO to the ranks would substantially lower the overall quality of admins at en.Wikipedia.
I'm going to register my other sock and start giving out barnfarts to all those opposing his rise through the skank.

Per ArbCom authoritah, Malleus is not permitted to comment in RfAs other than to vote.TungstenCarbide wrote:I see Malleus there giving some love.
So naturally, there's a Wikipedian talking about him in the third person in the RfA just to poke at him.
Nice "solution" there, ArbCom.
Re: speaking of trolls......
That's one of my favorite things about en.Wikipedia, there is always a fly ready to vomit on your food. There is always an admin ready to make the situation worse. There's always an arBer ready to create an undoable fuckfest that doesn't solve anything--besides focus the fly eyes on the target.Mason wrote:Per ArbCom authoritah, Malleus is not permitted to comment in RfAs other than to vote.TungstenCarbide wrote:I see Malleus there giving some love.

I, too, want a bullseye the size of the room. And a prize if I hit it. I want to be Miss America!

Ah, piss, that will teach me to avert my eyes for the twelve minutes or whatever it took this to snow shut... Now I lost my chance to weigh in at the YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME, NEVER, EVER, EVER section...

Re: speaking of trolls......
MONGO is claiming a few people urged him to run, but that he knew it would be a disaster.

Re: speaking of trolls......
K-Wolf is a good dude, I respect him a lot. We actually met fighting over content in an article on a left wing organization but wound up becoming, I think, quite good friends once we figured out that neither of us was out to either whitewash (him) or slander (me) the organization in question. NPOV does work.The Devil's Advocate wrote:MONGO is claiming a few people urged him to run, but that he knew it would be a disaster.
Anyway, MONGO was just biting my head off about something or other, probably Gibraltar/WMUK related, and I've got him on the short list of potential administrators for that day WHEN PIGS FLY.
