Gracenotes, Did he ever post here? Options

[papaya]

There is now some allegation floating around that Gracenotes posted here. Is it true?

[guy]

Not that I can recall. Grace Note (who opposed Gracenotes) certainly has done.

[Somey]

You're probably thinking of User:Race_Goat, who has never posted here, but occasionally drops in for tea and crumpets - and to find out the latest news about Paris Hilton. (Who, as it turns out, hasn't posted here either, though that may be changing very soon.)

Anyway, in all seriousness, this is why the whole "must not link to BADSITES" issue is so fascistic, and by extension, so toxic. It provides them with an easily-diffed means of identifying the "traitors" and "malcontents" who go against the cult community. It's a form of McCarthyism, plain and simple, by people who probably thought McCarthy was one of the "good guys."

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for a response from SlimVirgin to my one condition, that she not treat our removal of identifying information about her as some sort of "admission of guilt" (at least not publicly, anyway), before trying to actually do something about her problem - assuming that's what the problem really is, of course.

I've been waiting almost four weeks, and in the meantime, she's been doing nothing but trash us on Wikipedia, and lie about our "ignoring" her.

Seriously, why would anyone want to work with such a person?

On a Wholly Unrelated Note, many Wikiparanotes are constantly confusing User:Karmafist with User:Farmer Kiss, but nobody in the know at The Wikipedia Review would of course ever be found guilty of that e-gregiously e-barrassing faux pas.

Just one of many good reasons for getting with the program that your f®iendly WRdos dispense at these, our pearls-b4-swinely gates ...

He has.

http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showuser=1049

Some people here had a technical question (I forget what it was) and he primarily responded to that if I recall. He said nothing here that was offensive to anyone on WP, so the people there should leave him be on responding here.

I mean, are they going to ban Sceptre, Papaya, Badlydrawnjeff and other good users on WP for posting here on WR?

What a trouble maker. Gracenotes thinks:

• #wikipedia (IRC) is boring
• WoW used tabs
• spam is bad
• A book on WP would be nice.
• oversight has logs

Thats just beyond the pale. Can't have that type as an admin on WP.

Badlydrawnjeff has been on their hitlist for quite some time. They're just looking for a plausible excuse. Sceptre and Papaya will likely be smeared and attacked from time to time, much like Blu Aardvark was, but they'll probably manage to maintain their composure better than Blu did (no offense to Blu), and thus probably aren't going to be booted anytime soon.

[papaya]

Oh, I'm definitely not a good user.

Always hard to ban a user who remains calm and collected.

Communist!

I am waiting for Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Mangoe

He'd have to be insane to accept a nomination, especially after seeing the lynchmob that turn up on Gracenotes' RFA

[BobbyBombastic]

Not to mention he would be accused of being a shill for WR.

Sceptre is a "good user"?? You could've fooled me.

And a Trotskyite at that.

Badlydrawnjeff I thought they hate him because he believes Wikipedia should hold more information.

Sceptre I thought he quit.

Tom Harrison, Alkivar, etc. also post here. Karmafist I think was banned more for getting in disagreements with other admins than posting here.

Everyking was desysopped for posting here, though. But not banned.

My account http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LamontStormstar hasn't been banned. Sure it hasn't edited for a year, but that's never stopped them from banning people before. All an admin has to do is to lie and claim the edits got deleted and no one questions it.

When things get tough and he can no longer handle Wikipedia, Sceptre usually "quits", then comes back, then "quits" then comes back so many times that I've lost track of whether he's quit now or back (though I'm not in the habit of using Wikipedia for anything other than reference matrerial)...

(Let me try to word this in a way that won't send the thread to the Tar Pit) - if it were me constantly "quitting" and returning, a lot of questions would be asked about my level of mental stability.

I suppose Dramatica could write something about that & make it very funny but I don't think they're particularly good at making things funny without crossing the line, case in point: me.
