If Moulton succeeds in having the Wikipediiots block all of Boston and several universities, then we should give him a medal. Thus is Wikipedia's endgame: all IPs everywhere blocked, with only SlimVirgin, David Gerard, and Jimbo having block-exempt bits. Jimbopedia.
LOL. I'm honestly surprised that you didn't think that it was that way already based on some of the things you've said.

Other than Jimbo, only Gerard and SlimVirgin have block-exempt bits!?! (IMG:

=====================================
IRC with Mike Umbricht...
(09:14:40 PM) Moulton: And JMWH planted a site on the web called WP; and there he put the editors whom he had made.
(09:14:40 PM) Moulton: And out of software JMWH caused to grow every template and userbox that is pleasant to the sight, and good for information and fun. The Wiki of Administrative Bits was in the midst of the encyclopedia, and the Wiki of the philosophy of the knowledge of good and evil.
(09:14:40 PM) Moulton: And JMWH took the editor, and put him into the encyclopedia to dress it and to keep it.
(09:14:40 PM) Moulton: And JMWH commanded the editor, saying, Of every philosophy of the Wiki thou mayest freely eat:
(09:14:40 PM) Moulton: But of the philosophy of the knowledge of civility and incivility thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(09:19:37 PM) mikeu: You should be very carefull to avoid phrases like "...thou shalt surely die." That sounds potentially threatening.
(09:49:09 PM) Moulton: It's from Genesis. Are you familiar with that story?
(09:51:02 PM) mikeu: it is not a quote from Genesis. Your theatrics have crossed the line and are now disturbing
(09:51:58 PM) Moulton: It's from Genesis 2:17.
(09:52:16 PM) Moulton: Do you know why the author of Genesis put in those words?
(09:53:46 PM) mikeu: no it is not, but more importantly you are sending me messages that include phrases about death and that is unacceptable
(09:53:54 PM) Moulton: I'm not making this material up, Mike. It's been in the culture since the dawn of civilization.
(09:54:37 PM) mikeu: you need to stop contacting me
(09:54:41 PM) Moulton: Do you know how many people a year die as a result of not heeding the warning in Genesis 2:17? The statistics are not hard to come by.
(09:55:04 PM) Moulton: And this is not theology I am speaking of. This is scientific sociology.
(09:55:25 PM) Moulton: The theology got there first, but science has since caught up.
(09:55:36 PM) mikeu: are you suggesting that i will die if "do not head the warning" ?
(09:56:04 PM) Moulton: There is a statistical increase in deaths from not heeding the warning.
(09:56:14 PM) Moulton: Do you know what the statistic is?
(09:56:17 PM) mikeu: 21:54 mikeu you need to stop contacting me
(09:56:56 PM) Moulton: You need to stop disrupting the learning process. It's unbecoming, unseemly, unscholarly, and unethical to disrupt the learning process.
(09:57:35 PM) Moulton: You may not like the lessons, but they are not fictitious or mythical. They are well-grounded in science.
(09:58:34 PM) mikeu: stop contacting me
(09:58:45 PM) Moulton: The lessons may, at one time, have originated in unscientific stories, but the modern science cannot be ignored.
(09:59:10 PM) mikeu: "stop contacting me" is all I have to say to you
(09:59:13 PM) Moulton: Stop disrupting the human learning process. It is arrogant of you to disrupt the learning of others.
(09:59:47 PM) Moulton: As long as you arrogantly interfere with the learning process, the world will contact you and beseech you to discontinue the practice of disrupting learning.
(10:00:42 PM) Moulton: If you want me to leave you alone, Mike, you have to get out of the way of scientific discovery learning.
(10:01:43 PM) Moulton: If you can't stand the science, go back to fairy tale worlds.
(10:03:21 PM) Moulton: I expect Wikiversity, a 501(c)(3) enterprise, to support the mission of education, not interfere with it and disrupt it.
=====================================
Notice how Mike manifests a mix of fear, ignorance, mistrust, and lack of empathy. That's the toxic cocktail he received from Jimbo. And that toxic cocktail is not healthy.
When someone with that toxic cocktail also exercise political power over others, the result is known by another word that really does appear in the text of Genesis 2:17.
The combination of political power along with fear, ignorance, mistrust, and lack of empathy is called Evil in that ancient text.
There is little anyone can do about Mike's fear, ignorance, mistrust, and lack of empathy. Those are his issues to struggle with. But he ought not to have political power over others whilst in the grips of that toxic cocktail.
