Giano is the ultimate masochist, show him a brickwall and he'll want to bang his head against it.
This is a marvellous exercise in futility and a fine example of an individuals inability to learn from the past.

I am waiting for Xeno to show up and harass him again. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif)

More proof that Wikipedia is now a form of entertainment.


To semi-quote the cast of "The Band Wagon" -- that's entertainment? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wacko.gif)

Actually, a majority of Wikipedia editors stick pretty much to editing articles whenever they happen to be in the mood. They have at most incidental or occasional involvement with the whole administrative apparatus of the site, or the various opportunities it provides for "moaning and groaning." Assuming that the editors who tend to be discussed on WR typify the majority of Wikipedians' experiences or behaviors is a fallacy.


Okay, so the voice of ArbCom says the majority of Wikipedia contributors only show up only when they are bored, barely do anything once they arrive, and aren't worth talking about once they leave? Gotcha! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif)

Yeah, but Brad's observation explains why nobody reads WR. And also why the list of stuff over at WP:PERRENIAL is so short: good ideas from the few that care are adopted immediately, and most of the rest of editors aren't interested in politics, meta-issues, or the like; they just want to write.

AND, for free: Brad's comments explain why WP:LAME is so short: it was written as a humor piece by a few commedians, and doesn't really mirror what actually happens on WP. That's stuff's funny, but is not like it's real.

Not least, why a mighty team of 13 arbitrators (or whatever the number is now that another is disgraced) can take care of all the vast warring on WP and keep it going so smoothly. It's because the rest of us don't worry our pretty heads about it much, and leave it to the smarties who like that kind of thing. Genius lawyers and stuff.

Glad to be a Beta! Alphas work SO hard.
