... and I'm still gone. And it looks like I'm past that magical 'retired-for-two-days-only' mark.

Do I feel any better? Hell, yes!! I'm still reading with dismay the Kato Litany of Bad BLPâ„¢ but now I don't feel any personal urge to go on there and try to make everything right. I just shake my head in disappointment and (mock) shock ... and move on.

Frankly, life off-wiki and off-WR is more than full with enough stuff to deal with and, in retrospect, WP just seems so trivial and meaningless now, apart from the very real damage it can wreak upon peoples' lives, BLP-wise. At least now I don't fret and stress over all the bad stuff.

In fact, I'm less and less likely to hang around here, too.

Yay - freedom (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

The "hate triangle" between WP, WR, and ED goes something like:

WP thinks WR and ED are hateful, vulgar, harassing sites making unfair attacks.
WR thinks WP and ED are irresponsible places of anonymous/pseudonymous defamation.
ED thinks WP and WR take themselves way too seriously and are sources of lulz.

These distinctions were "purer" in the 2006-07 era, and have been highly muddied since now that people from each of these sites are active in the others.

Of course the truth of the matter is that what "each site thinks about the other two" is true of itself as well (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)... at least to some degree.

No, I doubt that lulz (shudder) is the motivation. The real motivation is somewhat darker and ever so slightly sinister.

Do tell.

Amen to that, Brother....

Being gay and partially black, I can live with the racism and homophobia (been there, done that...).

I still think that Alison is even cooler for pulling this off!

That's my story and I'm standin' by it!

That's ED usual response: We have a black person, gay person or we know black people, gay people. But that is weak given the extreme racism and homophobic content that the site hosts. ( including "Luz-ey" pics of lynching with racists slogans, while living family members of the victims still try to live their lives.) I could provide dozens of examples, which I did in a argument with BluArdvark at one point, much to Somey's chagrin. So chop-chop, Alison, get rid of that shit or be prepared to explain why you don't.

Gosh, thank you for the inspiration ...

I must go write a topic on all the Korean VANKers active on the Pee-dia for ED. Like, "How to VANK on the Vikipedia" in Hangul.

Yes, go on Mr Brandt, give her an account.

OK, I take back what I said and apologize ... I had no idea what ED really is/was. I have just had at look and seen the Alison and Brandt topics.

I get tired of folks using accusations of others alleged racism or prejudices as a leverage device (which is the history here) but that website is neither funny, stylish nor intelligent with it all.
