The point was that "Fat Phil" wrote something that was questionable and related that to his role as a admin on WP. How the police were involved really doesn't matter.
Oh, so the bit where three days after a short story of his was posted here, the police contacted him regarding that story is irrelevant. The real issue is that he presented a paper on stupidity and used Wikipedia (and, presumably, some of you folks) as a case study. I get it now. His writing shows him to be unfit to be a Wikipedia admin, so getting him investigated for murder is a completely reasonable response. How could I possibly have missed that point?
His "story" was posted well before it was mentioned here in the first place. So
ANYONE that read it could have called. Yet you blame us for it...... I don't get it. You say you aren't here for a fight and don't care to get into a inner-wiki fight but yet you make comments like this.
If I wrote a murder "story" on Live Journal that sounded very real and no matter how many times I said it was fiction I am damn sure someone would be making a call. If I wrote a "story" of fiction that was about a fantasy of pedo rape I AM VERY DAMN SURE that the cop's would be called. If we start a thread here that questions the mental state of ANY admin we are labeled idiots and stupid. How rational..........
