Who is the worst Wiki Admin Options Rating

12. A scapegoat class. No ideology can possibly succeed. Therefore for every ideology there must be scapegoat-class which is to be blamed for the failure.

Yes. I've written at length about the role of scapegoating, both in general culture and in WikiCulture. If WP does fall by the wayside, I expect that the failure will be blamed on vandals and trolls.

Let's not forget drama-mongers.
Wikivainia is fortunate to have so many scapegoat classes, and they seem to keep seeking out more.

Boy, we sure don't see much LiveJournal around here anymore.

How can they declare a war on drama, especially on the Internet's premier drama engine?!? And don't they know that wars are fought in theaters (e.g. WW II was fought in the Pacific Theater, etc).

Wikiland, as oft noted, Wikiland is hardly noted for its self-awareness or internal consistency.

A week or so ago, I was listening to one of those hour-long academic lectures on my local NPR station, on the subject of self-awareness and self-examination (in the sense first suggested by Socrates). The speaker's thesis was that one can come to self-awareness by several methods.

One method corresponds to the kind of analysis most people would do with the aid of a psychologist. Such an analysis would deconstruct the salient features of one's psychological makeup (or personality), perhaps including a clinical diagnosis from DSM IV. The other method is by telling the backstory of one's life. Every life has its idiosyncratic story or personal drama, and there is a relationship between one's personal narrative and the kind of clinical or psychological analysis that corresponds to (and explains) the story of one's life.

It occurs to me that WikiCulture is inhabited by people who are largely resistant to either form of self-examination and self-analysis.

If the Wikipedia were a person on an analyst's couch ... which disorders would it be suffering from?

Oh, that's easy. They are a Cluster B shop, through and through.

Anyone on an analyst's couch is suffering from only one disorder. Terminal incredulity.

Presumably only because there is no category: Cluster F ?

Either that or attention deficit disorder.

It could also be Oxytocin Deficit Dishonor.

This I doubt. They have their tits caught in a wringer way too often.

Hmmm. Okay, I admit, perhaps you're on to something.*

Ha! Took me a few hundred edits to diagnose them as a bunch of psychopaths. And look who showed up to lambast me for that edit: The Anome (Wikipedia's persecutory delusions guy).

I just got locked out indefinitely by OrangeMike. I probably went overboard so I can't judge him too harshly, even though he did create the Franklin coverup hoax redirect (I just added something about that in another thread... "the Franklin coverup hoax redirect scam").

I guess what bothers me most about the admins is how they're very experienced at pretending they don't have a POV, while hiding behind the rules and attacking others for having a POV (in reality: daring to edit an article in a way that contradict's the admin's unstated POV). The Anome is my personal nemesis, but I can't say he's worse than the others because I haven't run afoul of the others' POV.

You should study the career of this admin, the one and only super democrat and his POV on Wikipedia, Gamaliel (T-C-L-K-R-D) In reviewing this prick's history, you will find the techniques and trade-craft of the business of being an imperial and untouchable Wiki admin.

Unknown, though, is whether Gamaliel's performed Fellatio to Jimbo himself.

Are you saying that Gamaliel (age unknown) has sucked Jimmy Wales' cock?

Are you calling Jimmy Wales a potential 'pediaphile?

That is weird. Two things Wales has never been suspected of, even by people who dislike him intensely, are sexual attraction to men or children. Perhaps VoC is off his meds today. Or is speaking metaphorically.

In Wikipedia (They have anonymity) so Gamaliel as no rights, because he has no name.

I doubt any such meds exist. Have you ever seen him post rationally?
