The fact is, I don't believe Krimpet has been getting anywhere near the support she's been hoping for in terms of stopping Mr. Jarlaxlejeremygrawpemis from continuing to reveal details about her private life on WP, ED, and also here (though it's probably a bit harder for the public to find that stuff here than on those other sites, IMO... we at least have better deletion capabilities than WP does). I suspect that her wanting out (not a bad idea in any case, of course) is more a reaction to this thread on WikiEN-L than any particular trigger incident... A lot of people seem to think that the other person's "privacy" is just as important as hers, even though she's an admin with thousands of useful (from their perspective) contribs, and he's been nothing but a huge pain in their arses since Day One. I mean, I have to admit, I'd be pretty pissed off too!

Normally the best response to conduct like Jeremy's intrusive and neanderthal taunting of Krimpet is to isolate the offender by simply identifying how his conduct is inappropriate. The "eye for an eye" approach is unlikely to get the offended person any relief. Unfortunately when the offended person has access to one or two massive defamation engines, and a belief that they are skilled competitors in the game of defamation, the high road is easy to overlook.

Nicely put. It's too bad the Peter Pan Syndrome isn't a recognized psychiatric disorder..... because it fits Grawp to a T. (Actually, a lot of Wiki-nerds as well. I consider him a Wiki-nerd. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif) ) Sad to see Krimpet go. She's not perfect either, but she never did that kind of low grawping to others...... (Now I'm wondering how many other people Jeremy has chased off the internet, WP or elsewhere, over the last few years. We'll never know.)

You're not trying to suggest that there's a list (mental or otherwise) of WP sysops whose actions you do like, are you? And personally, I'd say defamatory faggotry is worse than censorship faggotry, if only because it actually causes most of the censorship faggotry. But that's just me. (I'm just using the word "faggotry" so that you'll understand my point, btw.) I dunno, it's people like krimpet, Sceptre and that deletionist Otterathome faggot who are fucking up the Boxxy AFD and article completely. There are plenty of sources for the article, but the BLPfags just keep bawwwwing that it's not a 'reliable source' or will make any stupid non sequitur argument they can think of just to keep another editor's work out of Wikipedia. And who really gives a fuck about whether something is non-free content or not? Sceptre erring on the side of caution with his NFCC crap on the article's talk page is faggotry of the worst kind.

Oh Christ.....if there was anyone less deserving of a WP page, it's Boxxy. I blogged her 2 weeks ago. Test case for Internet war or not, she does not deserve the attention. Others seem to agree with me. Death to the /b/tards.This post has been edited by EricBarbour:

QUOTE(cyofee @ Thu 29th January 2009, 8:38pm) Wikipedos really seem to be far less stable then normal people.
I've noticed that too. The number of sysops that retire or get angry or do something to cause drama is quite high. Seems like something like this happens almost every month, or even multiple times a month.

Perhaps you haven't noticed but the word "faggotry" may not have as much persuasive or rhetorical values here as on some other sites. Yeah, I'm being lazy with my writing today because I was drinking alcohol last night and don't have the energy to come out with more coherent ways of speaking. But really the word 'faggotry' as I used it in this context was intended to mean everything that I find irksome in the behaviour of Wikipedia's editors (and just people in the wider world more generally).

I, for one, is sorry if she leaves WP. Though I don´t agree with all her actions, she has done a lot of good. I noticed her for being one of the first admins standing up to FeloniusMonk, at a time when FM still had a lot of ol´time cabal support. Brave girl. Note to Bambi Brandt: please take Krimpet off Hive-Mind. She is no longer an admin (Lar just de-adminned her.)

QUOTE And who really gives a fuck about whether something is non-free content or not? Possibly off-topic: ALL images and sounds which are not licensed with GFDL or Creative Commons, regardless of resolution/quality, should be erased. IT'S THE ->FREE<- ENCYCLOPEDIA. There's no point in reducing the resolution of an image to comply with fair use now AND have it orphaned and deleted by a bot months later if you can erase it NOW. The English wikipedia is probably the only one which still uses fair-use imagery, all the other big wikipedia don't use them anymore or use a very scarce quantity of them.
