The SlimVirgin Effect on RFAdminship, Does her opposition motivate people to support? Options

[Heat]

Seems to me that the odium SV and Crum are now held in means that when the dynamic duo come out against an Admin candidate the net effect is to motivate people to vote "support".

I think most people who say they're supporting to spite the opposers would have supported anyway. I like MastCell's comment on support number 200.

Hmm... a family tree. Can't say it's every day that I see SlimVirgin, SandyGeorgia, Moreschi, Neil, Swatjester, Orangemarlin, and B on the same side of an issue. Though some of their interactions do remind me of elements of my family tree... MastCell Talk 18:33, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Amen!

...or it could be that content writers will naturally draw more support? Giggy has like a zillion high-quality articles he's written. Who has more, MONGO and Blyngun, Worldtraveller?

[Alex]

Well I hope it attracts more support. The usual gang have turned up to oppose, and they are steadily rising. It's still early days really though, so anything could happen really. I do like the responses to Crum375 - pot/kettle/black etc.

Oh dear, SlimVirgin decides to bait Lar on his talk page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=216044650

"I suggest that you are not the person here with the most moral standing to speak about corruption or fraud or favoritism. Put your own house in order first."

What does this comment mean, Lar?

Or, to translate it from Slimspeak, means "Please say something that I can try to get you into trouble over."

Good on Lar for not taking the bait, though.

It means carry on like that and Crum375 will get added to the Mother of All ArbComs.

"What does this comment mean?" says Lar, whistling, looking at the sky innocently.

Yes, indeed, it means "Come over and say anything on MY talk page, that I can use later to accuse you of stalking and harrassment for."

Sorry, Slimmy, we've seen this trick. Nobody's buying it. But go with Wub

Was that an intrusive, overly familiar comment towards a female editor I just saw?

Ewwww. No, that was just satyrically riffing on the way Jimbo flicks people off, when a nice "get lost!" would be so much more honest. And the symbol there is made by putting "wub" between colons. *I* didn't HTML code it!

Does this work? --->

Edit: Oooh - it does

Lol. WP:WBFAN. I wish. (note to self; don't be arrogant about the number of FAs you've written (note to others; not being sarcastic))

Looks like you're going to prevail by shear numbers, Mr. Codeword. And notwithstanding SV's Clear Blue Water, I doubt very much you could have talked yourself out of it, if you'd called yourself user:Whitewater.

"Your honor, I was drawing attention to Bill and Hillary's Arkansas investment problems."

Still, anybody who gets opposed with use of an EasterEgg piped-link like this, automatically deserves 20 extra support votes in my book, just for the sake of Godwin. Hot damn, bro.

Who the hell does she think she is? What a loser. so sad. so bad. What a waste of a life SV has. She needs medication or therapy. Srsly. Wikipedia is toxic, ten times worse than heroin, or anyother addictive, mind altering drug. Give her relief, and send her to Wiki-Hazleton for pete's sake. Oh, the humanity. or lack there of.

The top of that list, Lord Emsworth, hasn't even been on WP since dec 2006.

From the RfAr/DHMO...

Revision as of 19:07, June 3, 2008

This RfA was withdrawn by the candidate, and has been blanked due to the significant unpleasant accusations that took place within it.

[Kato]

Ouch. That turned pretty nasty.

If the consequences of that nasty RFA are anything like the consequences of Cla68's torpedoed RFA last year, then Wikipedia has got an all out personality war in store for the future.

At one point, Giggy(DHMO) was accused of being corrupt by pot/kettle exponent Crum375, and then there were inferences that he was a white supremacist! Based on no evidence whatsoever. The whole thing turned into a shambles.

Still, he got nearly 300 supports which is a lot.

For those fans of the vintage Slim / Crum 1-2 maneuver, Crum's oppose came in an hour after Slim's. So they've still got some of that old Fred and Ginger magic.

[Moulton]

It's one thing to play light-hearted Games of Narcissistic Wounding by mutual consent.

But it's quite another thing to escalate light-hearted kidding into mean-spirited character assassination.

That was the biggest mess of an RFA I've witnessed. And I've seen a few jacked RFAs, including my own. This one, however, was by far the worst. These people are losing it. I thought I was crazy, but these people are batshit insane. And they're getting away with every false accusation they make against whoever they feel like.
