 Did Tarc call the Wikipedia Review an "off-wiki website of dubious quality"? |

I dunno, the way I read that, it sounds like he's saying the links themselves are of dubious quality, which I can attest to because I clicked on the link in question and it changed my view mode to "Outline."
Nevertheless, this is irrelevant garbage, all the same. No offense to Ms. (or is it Mr.?) Mbz1 though, who I'm sure was just trying to keep us "in the loop."
I assure you I feel no offense at all. There are some people that simply cannot offend me, tarc is one, you and everybody who called my post "irrelevant garbage" are the others, so no worries. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) This post has been edited by mbz1: |

I mean, we don't generally object to people posting about minor incidents of poor or suspect behavior. It just helps when the incident is illustrative of a larger problem or trend, and this sort of isn't like that. Based on what we've seen in the past, if Mr. Tarc thinks WR is unworthy in some way, it's presumably because we allow Mr. Victim (of Censorship) to post here, and he doesn't like Mr. Victim. I don't blame him for that, certainly - it's hard to imagine Mr. Victim not rubbing most people the wrong way. It's just one of those things! |

QUOTE(mbz1 @ Tue 8th March 2011, 10:25pm) Today in response to tarc's trolling at the MFD, I brought up tarc's uncivil rant stated in August on wikipedia review. What followed surprised me. First tarc removed my note altogether, and then, when I added it back, tarc called the wikipedia review "off-wiki websites of dubious quality". (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif) Oh, Mila. I half-figured you'd run here like a little tattletale after I said that, but I rarely look in the Annex when I login here. Anyways... Just as with the Wikipedia itself, there are both good and bad aspects of the Review. I admire their efforts to serve as a sort of meta-critique of the Wikipedia and especially its admins, and how they take BLP issues far more seriously than the average "I just saw it on CNN/TMZ so I must write an article on this person NOW" mental retardation. But they do tend to have a rather severe Jimbo obsession, a prudery when it comes to sexual images, and they give safe harbor to some of the worst trolls in existence, e.g. Joe Hazleton. So, in short; what I may post on a two-bit place like this has little bearing elsewhere. Btw, the topic I am "trolling" on is mbz trying to get a user's sub-page of accusations against her deleted. In other words, BAWWWW |
