SarekOfVulcan Options

What do we know about this fucker: SarekOfVulcan?

Earlier today he reverted and then blocked Triton Rocker just because he didn't like TR's edits. His user page suggests he's a wanker (but a very modest one who doesn't like blowing his own trumpet but feels he must, anyway). Anyone have any other views on the matter? I've come across several admins previously who have abused their tools to get their own way. Is this another one to add to the list? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/confused.gif)

No one chooses to encase themselves in the body weight of another person, and carry it around with them all day and night, without something being wrong somewhere, and a considerable additional amount of emotion baggage and other problems.

Look at "SarekOfVulcan", closely, as a kind of 'everyadmin' (to use the 'everyman' idea). Take one example and study it.

A someone who gets their Wiki sooper-powers, keeps their head fairly well down, and then goes around messing with people as and when they feel, for as long as they want ... using the Wikipedia as a release from their mundane lives.

And, possibly, an avoidance from dealing with the things in their ordinary life that they should be ... like [[obesity]].

Putting aside how hard it makes looking at or trying to find one's pee-pee for a moment, if we accept the risk of obesity is higher in patients with psychiatric disorders than in persons without psychiatric disorders, obesity is clearly a symptom of something out of place psychologically.

That 'something' will not just affect their eating and unhealthy lifestyle habits, ones affect their family, but will also manifest into other areas which will then get in the way of others.

It supports the theory of a large element of the Wikipedia being little more than neurotic or psychotic behavior.

Sometimes it's not a choice. Someone in my family had endocrine issues and ended up on an 800 cal diet & still gained weight. Jes' sayin' ... we don't really know the circumstances here.

Complete agreement (I bet I regret it too!). Most folks don't understand nutrition, including professionals, and you can't generally infer much more about overweight folks than that they're probably not happy with it.

I can't imagine why you would make this your business unless you're trying to heal some deep psychological wound yourself.

Are you projecting?

It is all material for 'the book' ...

the Anatomy of a Wikipedian.

Although I am looking for general trends, one cannot write in generalized terms. One needs specific examples, case studies, to bring it all to life, and supporting material.

Its true. I once bullied 'the fat kid' when I was at school and have carried the guilt every since. But that was back in the days when we only got 'one per year'. I am trying to repay it by being compassionate and understand and sharing 'Vampires in the Buff' fantasies.

Probably they're just people who are hungry more of the time. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/blink.gif)

Probably they're just people who are sneaking down to the refridgerator at night more of the time. That is less than maintenance levels (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/blink.gif).

Even spending all day editing as a Wikipedia admin uses more energy than 800 calories. Are you talking about a kid? If you are not, you ought to speak to adb because they must be a free energy generator.
