Larry Sanger: "I have been blocked!", I didn't know it would feel this way Options

Didn't last long, and the nominator got blocked for it, but this person honestly believed that they were in the right.

It's hard to believe he was that stupid. What he was doing, I don't know. A short block was adequate, and it seems to have been properly done. Next move: KoshVorlon (T-C-L-K-R-D) . Popcorn, anyone?

KoshVorlon is awesomely clueless even by Wikipedia standards, and you're welcome to quote me. Have a read of his talk archives (or the history of his talkpage, after he gave up archiving) some time.

I'm permanently banned, but he's only ever suffered a couple of brief blocks?



You could pretty much tell from his very first edit (and the telltale inability to properly use the word "its") that this was a maroon. Perfect for Wikipedia, actually.

How did they manage that? Hard-code it into the hardware?

But Kohs is now listed as a speaker again. How permanent was that? The point is that the future is only somewhat bound by the present. The proposal to yank the Flounder Fag, er Founder Flag, looked like it was failing too, with some of the usual suspects opposing it as "trolling," and then bang! A planetary collision caused the tide to reverse. Never say never.

There has been a kind of power shift. The old cabal is losing. I'm not sure the new oligarchs are better, except some are. But it's a killer system, and it eats people, chews them up and spits them out. Takes longer with some than others.

He strikes me as a typical Wikipedia "no-cost contributor". A painfully nerdy teenager or college student with few people skills, so-so language skills, and a shallow pop-culture focus. It helps to explain why his username came from Babylon 5, and his signature came from the opening theme song of an anime series.....that's what I call nerdy. Plus, he's a vandalism patroller with, um, questionable skillz. Why? Because he's the juggernaut, bitch.

And that's not what Wikipedia needs most badly.

Wikipedia needs more people with actual people skills, and fewer people like Kosh, with their compulsive need to write exegeses about things like obscure Christian musicians -- which he appears to have written mostly to avoid looking like just another childish vandal-slapper.

Well, this was my favorite.

Strike me down and I shall become more powerful than you can imagine.

And Rodhullandemu thumbs his nose at Lar after doing it. Figures he has coverage and backup against being taken out.

This is just like watching a world-class chess match.

Yeah I was hoping for a much more exciting end game, though.

But one of his advantages as a slimy invertebrate is that he's very hard to pin down.
Like unto nailing Jello™ to a wall.

What really annoys me is that his name + sig is a mangling of two of my favorite shows ever.

Wow, small world, I had some interactions with their admin once upon a time. Threshold was an 18+, very adult-oriented roleplaying mud, run by a Jimbo-like egomaniac called "Aristotle".

Marx said of human history rather, "it starts in comedy, moves to tragedy, and ends in farce".

Larry's gone from tragedy (Wikipedia) to farce (Citizendium) and ended up here in comedy.

On a friendly note, I think he'd be well advised to stick to the first two roles.

Please don't ask me to write a dithyramb for Larry. My heart's just not in it.

If we put all the Citizendium editors together, we'd have enough for a little one maybe. Everyone should dressed up as 'satires'

You mean, you'll come as Ovid's 'The Art of Love' if I come as 'Gulliver's Travels' or perhaps 'Accidental Death of an Anarchist'?

Or do you mean satyr?.

For FBI, did Sanger, L.
A letter of complaint decree
Where noobs and boobs and children ran
Through links immeasurable to man
To find por-nograph-ie


Um-- does this have to be sung by a chorus of 50 Greek boys?

A damsel with a dildo toy
In a drawing once I saw
It was a Carmelite-an nun
And with a dildo she had fun
Gracing Wiki-pee-di-ah



I think we have to end it with somehing about "donors prophesying ... ruin."

and hast thou found the giant cock?
come on my face, my frabjous boy!
for 'tis no photo, this I draw
to skirt the long arm of the law
and decency annoy

spake Jimbo: I have slain the beast
my fickle blade went snicker-snack
(but only acting from duress
of feared exposure in the press)
...it came gallumphing back

I think we have to end it with somehing about "donors prophesying ... ruin."

ok, but we're just getting started. This is going to be epic!

ps. this was my 100th edit! Awesome.

Argghh. Yes I know the differereerence. Will fix.

Marx said of human history rather, "it starts in comedy, moves to tragedy, and ends in farce".

Not quite. 'Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.'

To which some wag added: "And the third time as theme-park."
