User:Hengist Pod is obviously Rodhullandemu, a quick look through his contributions will pretty much confirm this.

All seems very obvious, I can't believe it's gone unnoticed on Wikipedia, so I wonder why he's being allowed to carry on?

They rarely go after socks unless they do any harm, or the person really is public enemy number one. Even then I wonder sometimes.

This (on the talk page) made me laugh:

Sometimes the simplest phrases are the best! Typcially RH fudged his way out of it.

What I didn't like so much (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/sick.gif) was seeing an admin called Mjroots give a big lickeroonie up RH's arse after blocking someone for 48 hours. But they can't pull the cock block without involving some kind of other sexual act can they. But it was simply my fault for looking I supposed. Oh how easily these people uh uh net-work.

You've got to feel sorry for an orphan. But of all the tags to give this article!

Wikipedia is getting full of this kind of 'article'. Theoretically there can be an article on anything, as long as it gets lucky in the first few stages of its life. It's the 'essay' articles that particularly piss me off - When X v's Y, N on a cloudy day in R, A in B (like here) etc. However well the idea might fit into other publications, it's all somebody's OR at best, and they are never unbiased on Wikipedia, or written without some particular intent.

At the end of the day, Wikipedia doesn't really have a clue about what cannot be a suitable subject for an article. Articles spawn others, and theoretically never ends.

Poor Rod can't even get his sockpuppet's professions right, first he's a psychologist, next he's a criminologist.

It's an unspoken/unwritten rule that anyone can come back to Wikipedia as long as they don't draw attention to themselves or continue the same behavior that got them banned before.

Of course, if Wikipedians absolutely hate you no matter what good your socks do for Wikipedia, you'll never find peace or redemption. That's the unfair part. Rod can come back because he still carries respect among many Wikipedians, but if Greg came back in any form, his socks would blocked even if they provided benefits to Wikipedia.

The fairest thing to do would be to shut down the whole "anyone can edit" thing, make everyone use their real names, and restrict them all to one account. A man can dream, can't he?

A psychologist eh? He's clearly trying to bond with Malleus there, hey.

He says "I'm not a lawyer, as such. "

'As such'? Was he ever?

Actually, one way of making absolutely sure someone has a decent excuse to dig you out and get you blocked is to claim authority via an invented profession. ie start seriously bullshitting to get yourself an edge again.

Hopefully they'll get the prick. Wikipedia has enough twats pretending they are/were psychologists, without such obvious freudulents fannying around.

Are you sure he still has that much respect? Most of it was for arse kissing, which is about as deep as a layer of runny cum.

Not sure about Kohs (as I hinted above) - I expect they've resigned to the fact that he's going to be doing what he is. They can't stop it can they? Not that they won't miss the chance to block him if they suddenly had clear proof, but do they really chase likely cases up? Or even care all that much?

It has its various little dramas, but as long as the shit keeps churning over in the big fairy cake making machine that is Wikipedia I'm sure the employee class and their 'wanabee' fags are happy.

Arse kissing ... well, he had lots of respect for himself ... (see comments on SarekOfVulcan's RfA) ... but he did not last long.

Support Switched from Oppose. FFS, the guy's a human being, and we expect too much of Admins here; gurus they are not, and volunteers they are, as are we all. The occasional lapse is therefore to be expected. Anyone expecting a counsel of perfection here should expect their own conduct to be also placed under the microscope. I'm confident that SoV will take this forward, although he will be extremely lucky in being able to do so.

Sadly, Rodhullandemu wasn't given that option, and that is a tragic loss here. Meanwhile, I have confidence that Sarek will be able to continue the good work he has started here, and will take comments on board. Hengist Pod (talk) 01:20, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but you'll have to contact ArbCom before considering a return to editing. — Coren (talk) 03:42, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Surely anyone interested in ass kissing should really stick to Playboy bunnies, like SarekOfVulcan, rather than Wikipedians?


If Rod is not in his full mind, at this point I would start to become concerned. This business has all the element of a cultic banishment or outcasting, just like the Jehovah Witness or Scientology.

Indef blocked is the lowest of the low ... equals wog or apostate.

It must hurt and humiliate to be expelled and forbid to pipe up in favor of an old ass that used to be an online friend. Given that he must have invested a huge amount of time and effort into the Piss-pedia, at the expense of other real life relationships ...

what does he have left now?

Rod used to go on about how close to 'the end' he was, how he was suffering and dying and doing the Wikipedia was all he could manage. Do we get to watch them push him to a suicide?

Egad, I feel sorry for any Playboy bunny that has big, fat, sweaty ol' Sarek stuck to them! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/unhappy.gif)

And speaking of soft core, how fitting that Arbcom's resident pornographer, Coren, took heed of Rummy's sleuthing and plucked the emu's feathers. Which leads to the ultimate question: does Coren actually have carnal relations with the nude women he exploits? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif)

OK, I guess RH&E was some kind of dick, but does it leave anyone else feeling slightly unsettled that we're doing Wikipedia admin work here, revealing socks? Maybe we're incidental, but I always wonder when, just a day or so after a Review post, someone gets (re) blocked.

Really, it was his fault for pretending he was qualified whateveritisthistime (from WR's more-highminded point of view I would say), and for giving himself away so easily.

I don't think you can look inwardly at WR for this. The admin class look here for a number of reasons. I'd be more uncomfortable if WR somehow took sides and protected certain editors.

The fact it is all such a crazy situation is essentially down to Wikipedia.

Well, Coren claims that he was unaware of the WR discovery, but we already know he is a liar.

Besides, it is kind of funny that he complains of WR's "obsessive-compulsive behavior" when the arbitrators blatantly abuse the checkuser tools to go fishing for perceived enemies of the Jimbo-state. Not the kind of behavior one expect in "building" an encyclopedia "that anyone can edit". (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif)

I had seen that account a day earlier and thought it looked odd, but it didn't twig who it was until I read this thread.
I then did a checkuser to confirm it, informed arbcom, and the rest is history.

If Rod wanted to return to editing Wikipedia he could easily do so without notice. Trouble is that would require him to change his editing behaviour, something he doesn't appear capable of doing.

This is a poorly equip and ineffective Wikipedia Ravage, by design.
As a Review site, publishing problems is a necessity, and WP and WR often have similar objectives.
What would be nice is a WR-zine, which contains stories that Signpost either doesn't cares for and/or wouldn't be permitted on WMF property.

Po' Rod - the blunder from down under sniffed him out. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/unsure.gif)

At least Law/The Undertow was lucky - JVB knew about that sock dance but let it slide, and then he got away with lying that he never read the e-mail from Keegan which detailed what was going on. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif)

Theoretically, we have the blog for that (click in the URHC, where it says "blog"). Care to author a piece?

So you thought it a good idea to put someone's life at risk, rather than just let him get on with reverting vandalism and minor copy-editing of articles? Good move. You're all heart, but your priorities as regards the encyclopedia are nowhere. I hope you're proud of yourself.

It's a crap article, and if I still cared about Wikipedia, or its structures, I'd have tagged it with merge to "nudity", because it's a shed. It might merits paragraph, and a short one at that, in the main article. On its own, however, it's unnecessary, but perhaps I hoped someone might take it on board as a defensible topic- I am not an expert on either nudity or Singapore, and I'm not bothered about whether the article remains or not.
