Best retirement notice ever?

Goodbye Wikipedia.Oh and Aitias you really are an arsehole.

I'm the original blocking admin. If anybody has any concerns/objections/criticisms of my block, then let me know.

I have a question:

How many knucks can a Canuck knuck if a Canuck can't spell Canuck?

Eleventeen.

"Caknuck" is a portmanteau of "canuck" and "knuckles". I started using it 14 or so years ago on IRC when other users started using my preferred nick.

You should consider changing it to "Cack" ....... intransitive version, of course.

Lots of users were using the same name? That must have been very confusing. By the way, what's your opinion on the "Aitias is an arsehole" situation?

Due to a deliberate mispronunciation of one of my old roommates, I always associate "cack" with the second noun form.

I had been going by "knuckles" on efnet IRC from later 1994. By 1996, several other knuckleses popped up on the network, so I tried various alternates, including "knuckles-" and "canuck" until settling on "caknuck". It's stuck since then, and nobody else seems to want to bother trying to usurp it.

I had stepped AFK for a while after offering my explanation of the block. By the time I got back, the whole situation had devolved and I quickly realized that I had nothing constructive to add to the conversations.

Personally, I think everyone could have benefited if Aitias had stepped back and put the kerosene can down. Once my initial block occurred, he should have backed off. That being said, when RMHED countered with the "arsehole" comment, he only exacerbated the problem. Both of them should have, as seicer said, stopped down for a nice cup of tea. You can't let stupid online disputes become personal, and this whole mess started as a stupid, stupid dispute.

Funny, that. I used to know a rather unpleasant character from the north of England who, after 14 or so pints of Broon and a couple of curries would always relapse into a writhing, screaming fit of uncontrollable laughter and exclaim "Oh fuck. I've just cacked me kecks". He was an idiot. But you can't deny the connection between cack and laughter, so my point still stands, whatever it was.

...... And finished as a very entertaining one, due to some typically overwrought adminning. Thank you. On the whole, I'd say that RHMED ended up being the leper with most fingers.

Depends on whether you would describe this sound as cackling. Could be an unusual consonant shift, more so than having a viper to vash your vindows, meaning he has in fact cashed his checks (at least that's what I'd hope he meant).

I think the middle one is usually the last to fall off.
