Most "uncivil".

it's the kinder, gentler, made, Wikimafioso. Just months ago it would have been "fuck off, you cunt".

We've yet to have a substantial complaint brought before us about David Gerard's behaviour. So far all we've got is drama mongering. If someone brought one before us, I'd consider it. Until that day... --[[User:Deskana|Deskana]] <small>[[User talk:Deskana|(talk)]]</small> 22:05, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


That's because they all get erased and/or pretended to have never occurred.

What "good" blocks has Gerard ever made?

That one of Utah made WP the laughingstock of the web 2.0 press for a month.

from Deskana's WP CV. Which isn't going to do squat for him when he enters the real world next year after school and kiddie playtime on WP is over.

I hold many official roles:


LOL! "Official"

QUOTE

* Most uninformed Arbitrator in history[citation needed]
* Mediator Emeritus
* OTRS Respondent
* Administrator
* Bureaucrat
* CheckUser
* Oversight


i'm practically Jimbo. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

QUOTE

I honestly believe I am fair and impartial.


They always do.


QUOTE
I frequently attend to matters behind the scenes. If you need me for something, your best bet is to try to catch me on IRC.


Because that's the way Wikifacists stay in "official" power. By hiding things from WP that directly affect WP editors.

QUOTE

I also have over 9000 edits.


Because unlike WP's "rule" against democracy-style voting, couting how many edits you have is supposed to mean something. So I cross t's and dot i's as often and separately as possible. Someday I'm climb to the toppermost of the Slimmy TOP 40 edits list, to #1!

I also have a severe need to boost my wiki-ego, and let you know that on WP, I'm better than you. I'm a WP official. Lol.
