Kelly isn't the whole site.
Can you prove that? (IMG:

Can't prove the negative. (IMG:

Can you prove you ARE the whole site?

It is amazing how difficult it is to get a straightforward yes or no answer from WP people.
I agree. I recall asking you, a WP person, a yes or no question the other day and you gave me folderol. It was an easy one too, merely about how you yourself intended to release something. Instead of yes/no, what I got was attitude.
That is a stupid analogy.
Except it's not an analogy. Merely a statement that you declined to answer a simple yes/no question directly. It would not have been a lot of trouble to do so but you decided to be a prat about it when it would have cost you nothing to just answer "yes".
Whatever. But don't wonder why I choose not to do you any favors.

It seems peculiar for this IP to pull such a wild accusation out of thin air and stick it someone who, truth be told, has not been a disruptive force on Wikipedia. If the accusation was that AdjustShift was a Martian, I could ignore it. If it was that AdjustShift is co-starring in "Men of Israel 2: Studs of the Knesset", I could shrug it off. But this comes out of nowhere and there is reason for concern since AdjustShift specifically asked for IP block exemption for his account -- that smells.
This reminds me of half of Arbcom's blatant refusal to explain whether or not they already knew Law was The Undertow. I guess the power clique only investigates and harasses people they don't like and coddles their friends -- which may explain why Mr. Miller (the founder of our feast) is getting protected.
Sure, it's peculiar. But without a solid basis for the check, it isn't a checkable check. Some further information besides "it seems peculiar" is needed. Especially when the check would need to be run by someone who isn't in the "power clique"... I prefer to be able to justify any check I run if I'm asked, especially since I was (rather maliciously, in my view, and certainly unjustly) accused of CU related issues already by someone who is (or at least was, but I think IS) in the "power clique".
So it would require considerable effort to put together a case that justified the check. Effort I decline to expend just on your request, because you pissed me off. I'm petty that way, and I have other stuff that needs doing with higher urgency.
I still like you and I'll probably get over it eventually. But there you are. Don't piss people off if you want favors. That's how this particular MMORPG is played. Something Peter Damien, Moulton, and Guido den Broeder (to pick a few random examples, but there are plenty more) need to figure out.

Someone needs to put it up on Wiki (usually at
WP:SPI). I would prefer to keep official business on-wiki, and I think Lar feels the same way.
That too.
