He's on #wikimedia (and apparently; I can't confirm) #wikipedia-en-admins at the moment. I'm not sure what's funnier; him coming to talk to the little people, or the reaction of some to him being online.

Is Jimbo fixing to sing the Dithyramb yet?

[May 11 2008 00:20:16] <DragonFire1024> For Wikipedia administrators, the mere fact that FBI investigators have launched an investigation should tell them it's beneath their standards. And if it's not, parents should begin to immediately add Wikipedia to their lists of Web sites children must avoid.
[May 11 2008 00:20:18] <SteveCrossin> as there is no venue for solving them at all

[May 11 2008 00:22:57] <Monobi> jwales, what do I mean? Hm, the whole ideology of Wikipedia is a community run project, where individuals make decisions about the content and the behavior. This is in line with the Objectivist viewpoint of the importance of individual rights, instead of a collective force making these decisions. However, you solely dictated the creation of ArbCom; there was no community will for this group. How then does this line up with your objectivist philoso

Think you know reality? Ayn Rand did, and through her novels and nonfiction she gave legions of followers a practical philosophy by which to live. Brooke looks at the enduring legacy of the original Objectivist.

[May 11 2008 00:11:50] <Monobi> jwales, as an objectivist how do you find ArbCom permissible?

A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

-- Stephen Crane

Holy crap, how many conversations were going on there at once? I was in briefly (monoxide = me) and there was nothing that exciting going on...


And it was at the point that conversation began to fail.

Why is Jimbo here using Tor? Editing out of somebody's home bedroom while hubby's on a business trip?

[May 11 2008 00:09:55] <Whole_tost> I'd like to go by the offices, where is it located exactly? biggrin.gif
[May 11 2008 00:10:13] <DragonFire1024> lol
[May 11 2008 00:10:21] <Whole_tost> I know it's in san francisco
[May 11 2008 00:10:39] <jwales> I don't actually know the address. :-P

No-one caught this gem?



What a clown. Really?

No.

No.

How could Jimbo possibly know "there is absolutely no truth to there being an FBI investigation"? Law enforcement officers quite commonly lie about or conceal investigations until they feel it is in their strategic interest to reveal truthful information. It's part of their job, and it's in the public's best interest.

Why does the Porn Man state that he knows about me generally? We have had multiple phone calls where he as repeatedly lied to my face.
And why is Whole_tost obssessed with me?

I have completely missed the point here. Those 4 lines are nondescript to me, but obviously are not to others. Can you indulge me in how this relates to your relationship to wales or toast? Actually, probably others on WR can hook me up, but I'm afraid this chat log isn't helping me.

[May 11 2008 00:19:08] <Whole_tost> jwales: you know don murphy's exposing wikipedia's finest?
[May 11 2008 00:19:44] <jwales> Whole_tost : I am generally aware of Don Murphy, zes.
