QUOTE(gomi @ Mon 27th October 2008, 3:48pm)  QUOTE(Heat @ Mon 27th October 2008, 7:37am) SV has just, bizarrely, added a picture of herself as a 3 year old to her user page. She also added the Latin phrase "Audi alteram partem!", which means (though my Latin is a bit rusty) "I gave birth to a German automobile!". Another astonishing piece of Slimvirginlore. It means "let the other side be heard" which is an incredibly ironic thing to say given how many editors she's tried to silence during various conflicts. |

Wook at me. How could this cute widdle girl do harm to anyone? How could you not wuve her?  Well, I wuve all 3 year-olds. Kid pics of serial murderers are cute, and remind us of why their mothers still love them, even if nobody else does by the time they're ready for the old needle-of-reconcilliation. Just as soon as WP gives Slim the wikipowers of a three year-old (i.e., edit-only, like the rest of their 3-year olds whose only addition to content is "jikjknnknknknkn") I'm willing to forgive her past transgressions against articles and editors. But not forget-- in case they decide to backpedal. And Josh P. Gordon, though I love all music but rap (which doesn't count as music), you don't get WP points with me if you personally played every instrument including the kazoo and the holophoner with some band in 1973. If you don't stop tag-teaming, OWNing, and POV pushing, it simply makes us all wish somebody would shove all those instruments up where the music is greatly muffled and you walk funny. What you do on WP, is definitly not cool. You can even post a picture of yourself and Slim and Jayjg at age 3, giving us the WP version of Little Bush, and all that will happen is we'll laugh at you and still wish your mommies had toilet-trained you less brutally. Since you clearly have some kind of power-problem that only deep Freudian psychoanalysis is going to get at.  |

I'm guessing she did that to show there's a real, live human behind the screen name(s). So often, people are dehumanized by their detractors and thus it's far easier to bat them about. Just MHO. Giving people a voice and a face brings them into the real world. Little cutie, though, in her mary-jane shoes and button-up cardie  I wanna pick her up and hug her And I'm fighting back an urge to go back on there and speedy-delete it, lest some freako decide to shoop it or something QUOTE(gomi @ Mon 27th October 2008, 8:48am)

Ok, now that is funny!  QUOTE(Milton Roe @ Mon 27th October 2008, 10:17am) Wook at me. How could this cute widdle girl do harm to anyone? How could you not wuve her? Well, I wuve all 3 year-olds.

True, too, I guess  |

Perhaps symbolically reclaiming Durova. Yes, Velma to her Scooby-Doo indeed. Jimbo as Shaggy. Lots of good metaphors here of late. |

She was a darn cute kid (and sartorially snappy)! I know someone else who's going to upload a picture of himself as a toddler, if he can find one. He was far more slovenly at that age. And I suppose it would be pointless to restate what more eloquent minds have already recognized (i.e., the monumental, glaring, sickening hypocrisy of her user page plea for fairness/due process). |

There may be some pychological angle at play - reversion to childhood - call out to some mommy or daddy figure to come to her rescue - or it could just be a crass attempt at manipulation.
it's actually quite common on social networking sites for adults to post pictures of themselves from childhood. It's usually just funny, and doesn't usually give away what you look like now to maintain some privacy. And WP is first and foremost a social networking site, so that's about right. i haven't looked, but if it replaces that stupid cartoon strip club advert icon, then its a step up. And what would PETA say about "Wikihounding"? This post has been edited by Piperdown: Mon 27th October 2008, 11:07pm |

QUOTE(One @ Tue 28th October 2008, 12:49am) Why are we dissing on SlimVirgin here? She's posted very cogent arguments about ArbCom's failings here. In fact, she agrees with many of the proposals first suggested by users here, and argues for them is a straightforward way. Quite frankly, there's much more criticism of Wikipedia in her posts on Jimbo's talk page than there is in this whole thread. I get that some people see her as a prolific past abuser, but if she wants to help reform ArbCom, I bless her for it. I upvote this post |

After the Poetlister affair shouldn't we be rather more cynical about pictures of editors? 
Not that anyone shouldn't AGF!
