Wikipedia: A Threat To Civil Society, No More Monsieur Nice Guy Options Rating

[Jonny Cache]

No More Monsieur Nice Guy

After all this time, I get the feeling that many people, even many denizens of The Wikipedia Review, fail to comprehend the magnitude of the threat to Civil Society that is posed by Wikipedia and its ways.

And every time I get a glimmer of hope that Wikipedians themselves might just get their ways back on the path to recovery of humane good sense � well, they never fail to dash those hopes back into the mud of what they seem bound and determined to remain.

In order that some of you who know me best will understand the change in tactics that I must now undertake, I will try to lay out as clearly as I can why I think that Wikipedia and its ways pose the kind of danger to society that all people of good will must eventually oppose.

Okay, Jonny, is that your sock or not???

If that's your sock, it's brilliant!

If it's not your sock, it's even bettah!

So, from one Fiery angel to another, what's the straight story here??

(I'm still laughing. JzG, you've been pwned!!)

I neither confirm nor deny my authority over any authorship that I do not personally authorize.

But thanks for the occasion to say that � I've been working on it for months.

If this whole point of this is to be able to say "No more Monsieur Nice Guy", you've got a standing ovation over here!

Well, we don't want to be picking on Guys as a class, as that would violate our Permanently Provisional Policy Proposal (P^4).

Oh good.

Oh good.

That bit about No More Monsieur Nice Guy was just my way of signaling a significant sea-change in my attitude toward Wikipedia.

Along with that change in attitude there goes a change in approach. I just wanted to prevent people whose opinions I value from being confused about the fact that I will in future not be playing by the same rules that I played by in the past.

Wikipedia is an Online Game that is designed to enculcate its players in a particular belief system. Given Bain's Maxim that a belief is that on which a person is prepared to act, this means that the Game socializes the players who succeed in it to particular ways of acting, forms of conduct, and dispositions to behave in distinctive manners. It is therefore a Training Online Game (TOG) or an Online Game Intended For Training (OGIFT). Beware of Geeks, etc.

Next Question. To what Modes Or Forms Of Conduct are the players being entrained?

We should now apply rules of "REAL WORLD" to Wacky World of Wiki Cult Belief System.
Or, WWWCBS

a. [[US:LAW]] Above all else, the foundation members and servers live in florida and are under
the juristions of US law, Civil and Criminal.

This is the starting point of Dealing with the WWWCBS.
