2006-04-26 02:55 < cimon> my hat is off to the goof who pushed a peanut with his nose up to the top of Pikes Peak.
2006-04-26 02:55 < SushiGeek> cimon: did Lir do it?

lol

2006-04-26 23:56 < silsor> Werdna|food: there's a third class - the mentally disturbed
2006-04-26 23:58 < bumm13> like Conrad-14 year old socialist
2006-04-26 23:58 < bumm13> and Lir; etc.

rolleyes.gif

2006-04-27 01:56 < robchurch> rory|away: Be quiet or you'll mysteriously be proven to be a sockpuppet of Lir and it'll be all over.

wink.gif

2006-04-27 18:00 < Raul654> I just don't get it. Apparently some wikipediareview people think I'm behind Wikitruth
2006-04-27 18:00 < Raul654> Where do they get these ideas?
2006-04-27 18:00 < Alphax> Raul654, duh. You're Lir.

huh.gif

2006-04-29 00:25 < Raul654> So that makes Lir, Daniel Brandt, Blu Aardvark, Selina, Andrew Orlowski, Irismeister
2006-04-29 00:26 < KlingonHobo> Raul654: It's like a banned users Gilligan's Island.

biggrin.gif

2006-04-29 00:45 < Linuxbeak> I just noticed that this LinuxBeak guy is on Brandt's HiveMind page -- what an idjit. People like him exemplify whats wrong with Wikipedia's administration; he is a flat out liar, abusive in his language, and doesn't appear to really have any clue what's going on.
2006-04-29 00:45 < Linuxbeak> That's Lir
2006-04-29 00:45 < rory096> idjit?
2006-04-29 00:45 < Linuxbeak> fucking asshole lir, I'm never fucking abusive with my god damn language, you mother fucking son of a crack whore fuckhead

um what??

2006-04-30 03:56 < Lubaf> How about Lir?
2006-04-30 03:56 < badlydrawnjeff> not much to be said there, either, but it should be fairly reliable if they call him a master
2006-04-30 03:57 < Lubaf> Lir's edit pattern is so well known, it's immitated.

unsure.gif and yet... im banned... for edits... they know... i didn't... make

2006-05-03 03:27 < Raul654> mmooonnn - [[user:Lir]]
2006-05-03 03:45 < Raul654> Ambi - I suspect they were *MOST* unhappy about the link to WR I sent them where he claimed to be a hero for getting his uni blocked
2006-05-03 03:45 < ambi2> Raul654: ooh, that's interesting. I'd love to see the reaction.
2006-05-03 03:45 < DavidGerard> Raul654: but he's been a rampant proxy hopper in the past
2006-05-03 03:46 < DavidGerard> for a postgrad student to act that way is suicidally stupid
2006-05-03 03:47 < fuddlemark> you mean Lir's real? I thought he was just a story made up to keep Wikipedians in line: "and if you misbehave, you might well turn into Lir!"
2006-05-03 03:48 < Raul654> Fuddlemark - Lir *hates* myself and Snowspinner with a passion
2006-05-03 03:48 < DavidGerard> Raul654: and is evidently unhappy about me now
2006-05-03 03:48 < Raul654> for Snowspinner and I are most responsible for getthing him kicked out. Snowspinner brought the complaint, and I wrote the final decision

No Raul, I don't hate you and Snowspinner -- I just think you are fat and stupid (yes, its a personal attack). I love how gay Gerard is like trying to jump on the bandwagon, "Ooo, he hates me too, me too!" And no Raul, they were not *most* unhappy; in fact, they were rather annoyed with you for wasting their time with superfluous complaints.

2006-05-03 05:06 < SushiGeek> Lir is dead!
06-05-03 05:07 < Marudubshinki> Lir is dead. Long live Lir.

Huzzah!

2006-05-04 05:32 < Raul654> whose username rhymes with "beer"
2006-05-04 05:32 < Metalcore> Lir?
2006-05-04 05:33 < Raul654> I suspect the administrator's at his university were not happy that he got them blocked
2006-05-04 05:33 < Taxman> hah, you'd think they could track that in a second
2006-05-04 05:33 < Raul654> Taxman - they didn't need to. We know Lir's name
2006-05-04 05:33 < Raul654> we told them - by name - exactly who was doing it wink.gif
2006-05-04 05:34 < Raul654> Metalcore: "I call it the Madman Theory, Bob. I want the North Vietnamese to believe I've reached the point where I might do anything to stop the war. We'll just slip the word to them that, 'for God's sake, you know Nixon is obsessed about Communism. We can't restrain him when he's angry -- and he has his hand on the nuclear button' -- and Ho Chi Minh himself will be in Paris in two days begging for peace." H. R. Haldeman, The Ends of Power
2006-05-04 05:36 < IanManka> apparently, his phone number's here
2006-05-04 05:42 < Taxman> Raul654: was Lir's name always known, or did it get out later?
2006-05-04 05:43 < Raul654> In fact, Jimbo removed instances of his name because they were cropping up at the top of google, along with (accurate) descriptions of his misdeed
2006-05-04 05:43 < Raul654> apparently he worried about the possiblity of future potential employers googling him
2006-05-04 05:44 < Raul654> which is why I have given serious thought to creating [[user:Raul654/his name]] wink.gif
2006-05-04 05:44 < Raul654> if you google for his name
2006-05-04 05:45 < Raul654> "[Lir's name] is a troll" is like the 3rd hit

Above you can see Raul654's maturity in action. That's what Wikipedia admins are really like.

2006-05-06 00:23 < SushiGeek> hey, Lir should start a reality show in the same mold as Barry Bonds
2006-05-06 00:24 < SushiGeek> Lir on Lir
2006-05-06 00:24 < Project2501a> heh
2006-05-06 00:24 < SushiGeek> lol
2006-05-06 00:24 < Project2501a> Lir <3

wub.gif

2006-05-06 13:22 < SushiGeek> Ninjas > Vikings > Pirates > Ostriches > Fnords > Douchebags > Super Douchebags > Lir
2006-05-06 13:23 < SushiGeek> CableModem: You don't want to know what Lir did. Trust me.
2006-05-06 13:23 < SushiGeek> Ninjas > Vikings > Pirates > Ostriches > Fnords > Douchebags > Super Douchebags > Lir
2006-05-06 13:24 < bumm13> Raul is sicing (sp?) Lir's university on him

huh.gif

2006-05-09 16:26 < Raul654> I find out I am getting a lacky (intern). WR compares me to a shark who only goes after people when there's blood in the water, and Lir compares the cabal to the nazis

ohmy.gif

2006-05-13 13:35 < zocky> people tell me that Lir agrees with my analysis that wikipedia is feudalism : )

Yep

2006-05-14 02:48 < theProject> hm, i'm confusing lar with lir, lol

mad.gif

2006-05-14 08:11 < Pegasus1138> Also need an admin to delete [[Image:Wiki-gestapo.jpg]]
2006-05-14 08:11 < Pegasus1138> I think the user who uploaded is a Wic sock since it created a page with the same name
2006-05-14 08:12 < sannse> Not his style, more a Lir thing, or one of the others

They are paranoid over at Wikipedia, everything is me... I'm Emmanuel Goldstein!

2006-05-28 16:35 < Linuxbeak> Jarlaxle has been doing alright, actually.
2006-05-28 16:35 < Linuxbeak> and no, it's not Lir.

rolleyes.gif

2006-05-28 20:19 < Golbez-> I consider her and Blu to be the least dangerous and most sane people on WR.
2006-05-28 20:20 < Golbez-> Lir also registers as most sane and least dangerous, but did a lot of bannable things; with blu and MSK, i still think it stemmed from confrontational stuff and such, rather than outright abuse.
2006-05-28 20:20 < bumm13> Lir doesn't do anything to regain trust in him
2006-05-28 20:20 < Linuxbeak> lir hasn't done anything redeeming
2006-05-28 20:21 < DebbieGibson> thousands of commuters would disagree.
2006-05-28 20:21 < Linuxbeak> ..what?
2006-05-28 20:21 < DebbieGibson> you said the lir doesn't do anything useful or redeeming.
2006-05-28 20:22 < Golbez-> do you know who Lir is?
2006-05-28 20:22 < DebbieGibson> it's the long island railroad.
2006-05-28 20:24 < DebbieGibson> I'm not sure if any Wikipedia users take the LIR, but I'd bet some do.
2006-05-28 20:24 < sean_black> Its "LIRR"
2006-05-28 20:26 < DebbieGibson> some old schedules and current station signs say lir.

sleep.gif

2006-05-29 01:38 < ambi2> there are plenty of justifiable reasons for calling someone a troll
2006-05-29 01:38 < ambi2> lir, for example, is the definition of a troll
2006-05-29 01:39 < Simetrical> ambi2: That assumes he means to disrupt Wikipedia. Does he?
2006-05-29 01:40 < Mike_H> Simetrical: I'd read the RFCs and RFArs against Lir. That is very cut and dried.

unsure.gif

2006-05-29 13:26 < Ral315> I've heard Brandt, but Phil said it was a user from the U. of Iowa.
2006-05-29 13:26 < shimgray> Ah. Lir.
2006-05-29 13:26 < keitei> shimgray, lir is at university of northern iowa...
2006-05-29 13:27 < Golbez-> of it's a user from U of Iowa, and Lir did it, then that reflects exactly as poorly on WR as if Brandt or anyone else there did it.
2006-05-29 13:27 < Ral315> Actually, it was U. of N. Iowa
2006-05-29 13:27 < Ral315> So it probably is Lir.
2006-05-29 13:28 < Mike_H> That kind of says something, you know, if you can't get into the real University of Iowa

Um... I got accepted to MIT, lol.

2006-05-31 06:20 < CXI> no, I'm Amorrow - and lir
2006-05-31 06:20 < CXI> and also brandt

Hah.

2006-06-01 14:45 < Mike_H> I skip Lir's replies on WR
2006-06-01 14:45 < Mike_H> because he's so smug and I would really not want to vomit my Easy Mac on the keyboard here
2006-06-01 15:02 < Mike_H> Lir bragged that Wikipedia blocked his entire university, and some girls think he's so cool
2006-06-01 15:02 < Mike_H> yeah, okay
2006-06-01 15:02 * Mike_H snorts
2006-06-01 15:03 < MessedRocker> "omg you defaced a website! i want to fuck your brains out!'
2006-06-01 15:03 < masterjamie> That has to be the most funniest things I have ever heard
2006-06-01 15:03 * bogdan thinks of becoming a wikipedia vandal
2006-06-01 15:03 < MessedRocker> What they want is a VANDAL!
2006-06-01 15:03 < Mike_H> WIKIPEDIA VANDALS!!!!

lol.

2006-06-02 09:31 < fuddlemark> Mark_Ryan: watch out for the abusive admins on mediaspy
2006-06-02 09:31 < chequers> even for the 6mbits figure?
2006-06-02 09:31 < fuddlemark> Mark_Ryan: I hear they kicked this bloke called Lir out for no reason at all
2006-06-02 09:31 < Ali_K> fuddlemark: hehe

...

2006-06-02 17:51 < bish_night> filiocht's article on [[The Cantos]] has something about "the daughters of Lir". it made me jump.

I insist you have the best case for a lawsuit against Wikimedia Foundation and against individual administrators of anyone I've seen Lir.


Well actually, I'm interested in something like that now that I've talked to the police in Florida, and they stated that Phil Sandifer has been informed that the person who reported his website LIVES IN GERMANY -- as such, I'm getting rather annoyed by Wikipedia's repeated publication that I am suspected of having done so. That is a very deliberate attempt to make it look as if I did something, knowing full well that I did not -- you can call the police yourself, and talk to Detective Sanders yourself; in fact, I urge you to do so, as I wish for my name to be cleared in this matter: the number is: 352-392-4705.

There is also the fact that they persist in trying to spread my name around in a deragatory manner -- the only reason they have my name, is because they violated their own user agreement form, which assured me that my personal information would not be publically released. I suppose you could argue that anything is fair in the war on trolls; and if that is so, then I certainly support Daniel Brandt's Hivemind project, as it gives them a taste of their own medicine.

I would sue Jimmy Wales..... Lir, you have the best case to win. Jimmy would go nuts and I am damn sure there would a massive desysoping and indef blocks from it. I would also name each admin in the lawsuit. That will get everyones attention.

I thought it was interesting how Raul and some other people were getting all gleeful, cuz I guess I wasn't posting as much here for a few days; so they thought, like, my not posting here was because the university kicked me off the net, or something? Jesus, these people are idiots; honestly, wtf is their deal? Wikipedia, wake the fuck up; at universities, you are generally considered to be... a... joke -- professors here tell their students not to use Wikipedia, nobody really cares about your website, except that it spams up search engines.

Converting the text pages to HTML is not an option, because it would degrade the search engine performance. However, I could construct a lookup table of User names on Wikipedia and their names in the IRC #wikipedia, and throw a link into the search results for the first time that a User is mentioned on any search, if that User can be found in the table. I can also throw in a link to that user's Hivemind entry if I have one. Maybe we should start constructing such a cross-reference table on this forum. I'd start by dumping all the usernames from the IRC text files, and alphabetizing them, and then adding their Wikipedia user names as they become obvious. I don't think it would take that much effort, as no one I know of tries to hide the cross-connect between Wikipedia User name and their chat-room nick. Probably close to 75 percent are identical.

I agree. Lir has been slandered and maligned, and his civil rights and rights to free speech have been trampled.

It sounds almost identical to what they claim was so evil with what Brandt said about Snowspinner.

Which of course makes it great evidence for Brandt to prove that he did nothing wrong.

Does that make them hypocrites or us hypocrites?

Them, because they started this, despite simultaneously preaching to us about ethics; whereas, we are merely responding in kind, to remind them of the consequences of their behavior.
