Not here to build an encyclopediaAuthored almost entirely by our little lad. Includes some amazing howlers. He defines "lulz" for us: QUOTE "lulz" (amusement at destructiveness) And here's one that FT2 himself has violated repeatedly: QUOTE Inconsistent long-term agenda - Users who, based on substantial Wikipedia-related evidence, seem to want editing rights only in order to legitimize a soapbox or other personal stance (ie engage in some basic editing not so much to "build an encyclopedia", as to be able to assert a claim to be a "productive editor"..... whereas in fact by their own words or actions their true longer term motive is more likely to be "not here to build an encyclopedia"). Feel free to poke more holes in his "logic".

But since Eric asked ... running it through the FT2 to English translator; 'doesn't matter if one's behavior is that of a productive editor if FT2 decides otherwise'.

Sadder BudweiserQUOTE(Somey @ Sun 2nd August 2009, 11:28pm) It's usually based on frustration, the reaction to which is to make an attempt to codify and formalize Wikipedia's disrespect, disdain, and general disregard for its victims. Yes. Mutual and reciprocal disdain, disregard, and disrespect are defining features of pathological relationships arising out of WikiCulture (which reflects human culture at large). QUOTE(Somey @ Sun 2nd August 2009, 11:28pm) He's simply bought into the "vision," hook line and sinker, and he's probably too far gone at this point to come back from the abyss. The probability of epiphany and redemption is low, both in the real world and in WikiCulture. What Wikipedia lacks is Obama-style beer summits. Henry Louis Gates said that Sgt. Crowley is an engaging chap when he's not arresting someone. I suppose many Wikipedians are really nice people when they are not acting like Wikipedians.

QUOTE(Somey @ Mon 3rd August 2009, 12:10am) QUOTE(Lifebaka @ Sun 2nd August 2009, 10:57pm) I've suggested it be tagged as an essay, which it most clearly is. It'll avoid the hideous prospect of attempting to force people to take it seriously. Good idea! (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) I've actually been getting the impression that Mr. FT2 has been going through a few "ups and downs" lately. Nothing concrete of course, but some of his recent actions suggest a strong potential for burnout that he apparently isn't admitting to himself. Guy just needs a nice does of not giving a fuck. Does wonders for the lower bowels.

To be fair, such usage precedes him. I'm sure there are more and earlier examples, but that one is by far the best. *edit* Oh looky, someone already deleted that line.

QUOTE(Somey @ Tue 4th August 2009, 5:50am) QUOTE(sbrown @ Mon 3rd August 2009, 1:53am) QUOTE(Somey @ Mon 3rd August 2009, 4:28am) I'm sure he's a fairly nice guy if you meet him in person. Thats a weird way to judge people. I expect Hitler Stalin and Pol Pot were too. Naah - those guys were all complete assholes. So was Mussolini, in fact... I find it's usually best not to try to compare prominent Wikipedians with evil genocidal tyrants from 20th century history - people might get the idea that we've lost our sense of perspective. Besides, guys like Hitler and Stalin would never have had the patience to become WP admins - though they might have asked for "rollbacker" rights at some point, if only to make the edit-warring a little easier. I've been around my share of machievellian overachievers, especially during my time in the military, and I can tell you, that they were not "fairly nice people". One only needed to observe or interact with them for a short while to see that while they were undoubtedly above average in intelligence and usually polite and superficially cordial, they were also capable of throwing anyone to the wolves without a second thought if it suited their agenda to do so (of course, I'm not saying that I knew anyone who was as sociopathic as Stalin or Pol Pot). As Somey says, there probably aren't too many of these people involved to any great extent with Wikipedia, because they're more likely focused on much bigger and better things.
