Many of them claim that he can be "easily reblocked"... I love that argument, seriously. Someone (not O, but anyone) comes to WP and shits all over everything in that passive way that takes forever to explain to an admin. Other WP editors do their due diligence, file the reports, wait for the admins to notice, explain what's going on and how long this editor has been pushing the rules, and finally something is done about it. Except later on, an admin lifts the block. He can be easily reblocked if he does anything wrong, of course. So for all you editors who spent time jumping through hoops trying to keep this guy from taking a longterm dump in the wiki, thanks for all of your wasted time. It's just another scenario that helps people understand how worthless their time spent on WP really is. Good show. |

![]() Speaking of nothing interesting to say, how's that "book" of yours coming?. This is a rhetorical question so spare us the rosy report about the marvelous progress. No real publisher will ever touch that compendium of obsession. Perhaps you'll just dodge yet again, but once again I will make the request; please list for us the things you have done to fight/combat/oppose/protest the Wikipedia and its perceived ills. You're a critic. We get it. What are you doing about it? This post has been edited by Tarc: Wed 30th May 2012, 7:07pm |

You're a critic. We get it. What are you doing about it? , "So fix it" is enemy doctrine. It is not my job, Bub. Anyway, at this point most of the bad experiences I've had with Wikipedians have occurred on WR, not Wikipedia. Besides, why do I need to do more after coining "compendium of obsession?" |

So for all you editors who spent time jumping through hoops trying to keep this guy from taking a longterm dump in the wiki, thanks for all of your wasted time. An exceptionally good point, and I might add that it applies just as readily to criticism forums as it does to the wikis that are being criticized by them.
