Giano gets blocked for saying the truth, AGAIN!, ...Giano, why don't you just go over to Knol and be done with it?? Options Rating

[Carruthers]

Giano got banned by Georgewilliamherbert for 24 hours, because of a comment that he made about Stifle :

:::All of the above could and should have been avoided - Stifle knew exactly what he was doing. Such hehaviour should have brought down the wroth of his fellow admins upon him. Instead, there was a half hearted "well perhaps he made a mistake" and "I don't think he meant any harm" and to Peter Diamian "It matter's not, it's only your work - get over it." As a consequence Stifle is still able to troll and make absurd blocks as he sees fit - a good editor has left - and the rest of the admin community shrug their shoulders with indifference because none of them can see or care about the progressive damage their lazy attituted and reactions cause to the project. [[User:Giano II|Giano]] ([[User talk:Giano II|talk]]) 11:06, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

He was unblocked a bit later by our very own Viridae, but the fact that this GWH person blocked him in the first place is really quite stupid.

I don't know why he bothers to deal with the nutcases over there! Giano, get outta there and go over to Knol!

Hey I just put that on the 'Epistemic Theory' thread! Giano was commenting on my blocking following Stifle's actions. The whole thing really is too mad.

Giano got banned by Georgewilliamherbert for 24 hours

Geogrewillianherbert is dumber than a box of rocks. His personality is akin to instant oatmeal that has been over seasoned with artificial vanilla and sweeteners. He's a big fat stupid lazy slob. Oh, and guess what - he doesn't actually create content.

There is one more question, and I can't answer it, perhaps someone here can - Does Geogrewillianherbert hang out a lot on the IRC admin channel? I'm guessing yes.

By the way, did I mention that Geogrewillianherbert is a fucking moron?

Anyway, here's an old link that's worth revisiting.

He was involved in this rather ridiculous incident.

[Anonymous editor]

he blocked him. That's not a ban. Blocks are rather common.

In the scale of things this seems a fairly trivial incident to me and to slap a 24 hour block on it does rather look like stifling dissent.

From WJBscribe. Notice anything?

Horrible block. I looked through GWH's other recent (this year) blocks of named users and aside from Mackan and Bagadani none jump out as bad. But his bad ones are doozies.

And WTF, he insisted that Mackan send a passport or something to the WMF as an unblock condition?

Yes, Stifling - I thought that rather witty.

There are times when even I am amazed by the total incompetence of some of those appointed to rule/Administrate Wikipedia. I know I seem to spend my whole cyber life saying something has to be changed at Wikipedia so one would think I would expect it - but no, the sheer monumental incompetence hits me each time like a rock out of the sky. Such was the scale of stupidity of this particular block, I don't even feel it proves my point about civility being used as a weapon. However, will Wikipedia do anything about it? - No. They will allow such people to continue harassing those writing the project (who don't show due deference to the Admins) because it is more important to maintain collective Admin dignity than write an encyclopedia.

I still think if I keep going and repeating myself on and on, people may one day realise what I'm saying is correct - but Christ, it's a bloody hard long battle.

Easy now. That could apply to, er, any number of editors.

I notice that WJBscribe reads the Wikipedia Review:

Or, he may be reflecting Bishonen's earlier comment.

I'm wondering if it's going to get ignored for not following the DR process.

Despite the common sense that it shouldn't.

Sorry - point noted. And if you substitute obnoxious for fat, I've been all five of those too. Just not all at same time, and for months on end ... jeezzz

But I'm still waiting to hear, Is GWH a regular on IRC's super secret admin channel?

No, I don't think he is an IRC regular.

I've never seen him in the IRC admin channel.

[Giggy]

I vaguely recall seeing him in -unblock at times, though I may be mistaken. He certainly is active on mailing lists though.

I got in touch with Mackan79 that time. We chatted for almost an hour on the phone and I was able to identify him in RL (like, 100%). I then went back to ArbCom and stated that I'd verified his RL identity and could guarantee that he wasn't Wordbomb. They accepted that and thus, never did find out his RL details, as far as I know.

I think i missed that one. Mackan was block as wordbomb?
