Adambro blocks JWSchmidt‎ on Wikiversity Options

[Adambro]

Thought I'd do you guys a favour. "Jimbo's lording over Wikiversity again" is getting pretty long and although it is about Wikiversity, it doesn't directly relate to this. Since I'm sure my latest action will come under the scrutiny of the wikipedia review crowd I thought I'd lend you a hand and start a new thread for your comments criticism. I can't guarantee I'll pay it much attention though, sorry.

Is it just me, or do these folks all seem like completely different people during IRC chat sessions?

I dunno, maybe it's WR itself that's the problem for these guys... Do you think all those little smileys to the left of the edit window are distracting them? I mean, I've learned to just tune them out, but maybe others don't have that ability.

That's actually just a typical day on #wikiversity-en. Curious though: are you saying that the IRC chat sheds a worse light, or a better one?

Johnny, can you now say (openly) what similar back-stage arm-twisting went on the first time Jimbo and Cary strong-armed you and the other three bureaucrats two years ago?

I thought I already had, but maybe I should write up the story somewhere. Quikie version:

1. Jimbo threatened to shut down Wikiversity if we didn't block you.
2. We told him no.
3. Jimbo threatened to shut down Wikiversity if we didn't block you.
4. We told him that if he was so interested in you being blocked, he should do it himself.
5. Jimbo blocked you, and said it was done on our behalf.

Cary wasn't actually involved in that at all, so I'm not sure why you have such a hard on for him. He did give us a shoulder to cry on (we weren't particularly happy about the whole thing, and Jimbo wasn't replying to emails), but nothing more than that.
