I'm hoping Vincent just got confused as to what thread he was in...? Articles about internet memes aren't usually his cup of tea, unless the meme has something to do with US war veterans.

So I think we're safe - the fat Chinese kid surely couldn't even get past the physical exam, and if he'd been to boot camp, there's no way he would still look like that.

I dunno. I hope to wear the right thinking cap, but I do what I do. I guess his posts seemed to have the "Hive Mind mentality" to me.

What the fuck are you talking about, Vincent? wacko.gif

Which posts?

People come to wikipedia review to escape the loons, goons and spoons that haunt wikipedia. Not to come across yet more deluded cranks.

Calming down is always a good thing, but Mr. Kato has an equally-good point in this case. I've seen nothing "hive-mindish" about Kato's posts at all, particularly since he started participating a bit more in the last month or so. I'm afraid I'd have to say that Vincent owes him at least a more detailed explanation, if not an outright apology.

Aw Tony...

Can this be moved out of Articles, it's more of a BLP thing than any single article.

Are you in the right thread? The page you linked to is more about this one, no...? unsure.gif

At one point we talked about having a separate BLP forum, but never quite decided. We haven't done a poll in a few weeks...

Actually, I meant it in here since it was presented in the QZ/BDJ arbcom case.
