As poorly as many editors think of it, Simple English Wikiquote (yes, the wiki that "translates" quotes) has never been this active! With the additions of four administrators in the last three days, things are moving along quite nicely. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yay for Simple English Wikiquote!

QUOTE(Eva Destruction @ Tue 28th April 2009, 6:57pm) *

QUOTE(American Eagle @ Tue 28th April 2009, 7:49pm) *

thekohser, I have zero knowledge of you whatsoever. I have never, ever attacked you. But, you've given me a horrible first impression of you: you don't stop complaining, whining and acting like you're the poor victim everyone destroys, when it appears you've spent all your time attacking and demeaning everyone around you. It's no wonder the largest wiki in the world banned you.

AE, this may be the stupidest post I've ever seen on WR and there's some pretty stiff competition there. I'm no fan of Greg's but I can still agree that Jimmy Wales treated him like a piece of shit.

I also have no idea what Jimbo did to him. As I said, I know nothing of him, and I don't know why he keeps accusing me of attacking him.

Are you trying to tell us you're not an integral part of the Massive International Anti-Kohser Communist Conspiracy? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wtf.gif)

No, I'm not, and I have no clue what that means.

Given that it's one of the best known incidents in Wikipedia's history (and that Greg is possibly the only person ever to win an apology from Jimmy Wales for abuse received at the hands of Wikipedia's kiddy-admin horde), I don't think it's unreasonable to expect you to do some basic research before throwing yourself into an argument. You can even read about it on Wikipedia.

I just now read through this article, and have a better understanding of Mr. Kohs. Nevertheless, I knew nothing of him and have never attacked him in any way. I don't know why he has treated me this way... (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/unsure.gif)

Look, American Eagle... no hard feelings. But, just remember, you bounced in here, full of Jimbo Juice, and you spammed us with this whole Simple English Wikiquote announcement, dripping with glee. We don't like glee here.

Then, you reverted one of my first (and best) contributions.

Then, we discovered that you're in active communication with two of my adversaries on Yahoo! Answers, who are gaming that site's rulebook in an effort to censor free (and helpful!) speech.

Now, granted... this series of circumstances probably did not merit me saying you've "attacked" me... (indeed, I may have confused you with the twerps who really are savaging me on Simple English Wikipedia)... so, I'm going to say "I'm sorry."

And, I'm going to thank you for bringing to our attention here at Wikipedia Review the cringing good reads that we've all had, now that you're here.

What? I haven't been banned at Hudong, have I?

Me likey Hudong.
