I reckon there are a lot of misconceptions about the subtleties of the relationships between protagonist and antagonist in an arbitrary generic drama.

Protagonist and antagonist are like 'lovers' ... the Wiki is a tangoed surrogate for sex which is why so much of it is on it. I mean, how far from 'ban' is 'bang' in their minds? (Sex is for those who like doing it, pornography for those who like watching it, and the Wikipedia for those who are fixated on ordering and categorizing it).

I always try and remember that when I have young admins like NuclearWarfare or TFOWR on top of me ... banging away with their ban hammers ... I just try to lie back, relax a little, enjoy it as much as I can.

With the older men like Rodhullandemu or Rlevse ... slipping their way to impotency or having reached it ... sometimes it is a little harsher. Like they are working out their frustrations and resentments on you ... the loss of youth, all those younger guys around, keener, with more stamina. It cant be easy in them ... they are not easy on me.

Others ... you know, guys 'in the middle' like Future Perfect at Sunrise or Maunus, sometime I wonder if they are struggling with their sexuality a bit ... its about trying to prove their manliness. I have had them all. They keep coming back to do me again and again and again. I think of them all as my Johns.

Now you probably think I am nothing but a whore for allowing them to use me in this way ... but I see it as a public service. I know that as long as they are working it all out on me ... then at least their families, wives and girlfriends aren't getting it. And don't ask about the cultists who are publicly celibate but instead spend their whole time jacking off on their Wikipedia topics. Of course, what we found out about them is that they are not all celibate at all.

All men are the same in my opinion ... they need de-sysop-ed regularly.

Cue '80s flashback, 'Frankie goes to Hollyweird Wikiweird' ...

Rlevse (T-C-L-K-R-D) is an overage boy scout, but I would have guessed that he is younger than me. He has a sock, Dog The Teddy Bear (T-C-L-K-R-D) , with a very furry user page.

There is good evidence that Javertian characters like Adambro do "get off" on their exercise of power over those whom they decide to pursue. But I am unclear on which molecule of emotion they are getting high on. My first suspicion is that it's Dopamine-driven behavior.

Note: Edited to fix the attribution for the quoted remark.

The metaphor was deliberately chosen. There is thought to be a combination of dopamine-depletion craving and oxytocin-mediated bonding to pornography through masturbatory conditioning driving addictions to pornography. The overuse of the dopamine reward system causes addiction.

The problem is, dopamine systems don’t work well in addiction conditions. They become damaged and cause further frontal lobe damage in the brain.

In the case of drug addiction, the addict increase the amount of the drug to get the same high. In pornography addiction, progressively more shocking images are required to stimulate the person.

On the Wikipedia? More and more involvement, more tense edit wars, more risk taking perhaps ... are we moving towards a theory that using the Wikipedia causes brain damage?
