QUOTE(SB_Johnny @ Sun 11th September 2011, 3:57pm) Both of you are over the line on this one. a) the fact that you know what this refers to indicates that there is, in fact, something unpleasantly bad about Erik Moeller. b) nothing would be more ironically ugly than to have Wales's spawn molested by one of Master Wales's closest wiki-buddies. Because WP is a ripe target for pedophiles, because pedos have been trying to edit WP articles to make themselves look like solid citizens, and because the second-in-command at the Wikimedia Foundation wrote bizarre screeds stating that he didn't think that "non-violent child pornography" and sex between adults and children was all that bad, after all.

Unless you really think the sins of the father should be paid for by the children, of course.

QUOTE(SB_Johnny @ Sun 11th September 2011, 5:07pm) Okay, you're really not seeing why this sentiment is the sentiment of a seriously sick fuckwit? Forgive me, I just can't help picking at this old scab. None of this is mentioned in Moeller's BLP, did you know that? And that anyone attempting to insert this information finds themselves banned and the material oversighted very quickly? A BLP that has been AFDed three times to date, btw. A BLP that Cirt and SqueakBox have spent many, many hours writing, to make Moeller look like a genius. (If you're wondering why Cirt received such grand treatment on WP (until he was desysopped on Friday), this is a good example.) That's my main beef with Moeller. It's not even the pedophile issue, it's the fact that he is treated as "more equal than others" by the other Wiki-animals. Digital Hero, Friend of the Ineffable Jimbo, and incapable of doing wrong. Plus, there's nothing in his BLP about the many Usenet posts he was responsible for back in the 1990s. Some of them are, to put it mildly, a bit eccentric. It is my opinion that he is a crank--a great believer in crackpot "nerd" subjects like "transhumanism" and "The Singularity". If he wanted to write on a blog or in a book about all this, it's his right. But he's more than just a blogger. He is No. 2 at a major nonprofit that runs the seventh most popular website on earth, and hardly anyone ever asks questions about his personal beliefs or past history. What qualifies him for this job, other than his long buddy-buddy with Jimbo Wales? This post has been edited by EricBarbour: Mon 12th September 2011, 12:42am |

I also hope that she won't need the "hard lessons" of the sort you're suggesting to achieve that.

I hereby propose that Wikipedians who attempt to use the TOS to get users banned (because the TOS gives infinite reasons to ban almost anyone) be termed a TOSser.

The new Terms of use will come into effect on May 20, 2012. If you haven't spoke out before, you're free to do so here and now, although it's too late to suggest any real changes to the terms. This post has been edited by Michaeldsuarez: Fri 13th April 2012, 4:17pm |
