Over the last week (and for the foreseeable future), I've been devoting a lot of energy to ridding Wikipedia of even a small portion of its enormous over-coverage of topics related to the adult entertainment, ahem, "industry." Earlier today, my efforts yielded their first fruit. I have succeeded in securing the Deletion of two decidedly non-notable adult entertainment performers. Hopefully, I will soon be able to report additional victories in this regard. In the meantime, here are my first two scalps:

Golly!

Well, if it is him, at least he doesn't seem to be singling out Jewish porn actresses. That might tend to suggest he's grown up a bit in the last ten years or so...

What can I say? During the 1990s, I was a pretty disturbed guy, due at least in part to a lifelong, untreated case of Bipolar Disorder, and I did a stupid, fucked-up thing. While I may adhere to a number of controversial socio-political notions (although there's probably more of Ignatius J. Riley in me than Julius Streicher), I do not actually hate people based solely on their membership in a particular racial, ethnic, and/or religious class. And like many people, that has not always been true about me. Unlike most other people who used to hate people on the basis of such criteria, I have the unfortunate burden of an evidentiary paper trail, cataloging my past foolishness in the local newspapers. Whereas most people simply have the luxury of lying about their past idiocy, if they are so inclined. And while I no longer hate people for being Jewish, I did not subsequently decide it was a good idea to become an adherent to orthodox socio-political thought. When I became a National Socialist ("Nazi") in 1996, I did so because of my awareness that this society is on an extremely deleterious trajectory. I don't think that has changed; we are still plunging towards an abyss. I simply don't think targeting people on the basis of their demographic make-up is a very good way to avert the disasters which surely await the USA in the decades to come, if our national trajectory is not altered.

Unfortunately some stupid, fucked-up things are harder to erase when it comes to pressing the 'reset' button. I appreciate your honest and candid response though.

QUOTE
Ignatius Jacques Reilly is something of a modern Don Quixote — eccentric, idealistic, and creative, sometimes to the point of delusion. In his foreword to the book, Walker Percy describes Ignatius as a "slob extraordinary, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas rolled into one." He disdains modernity, particularly pop culture. The disdain becomes his obsession: he goes to movies in order to mock their perversity and express his outrage with the contemporary world's lack of "theology and geometry." He prefers the scholastic philosophy of the Middle Ages, and the Early Medieval philosopher Boethius in particular.


I'm with you there.
