Re: Political bias and squabbling

probably the most biased line ive seen in a while is in a section of the "Unite the Right rally" article : "Efforts by Trump and his supporters to rewrite the history of the rally" Why does such a section even exist? Just describe what did happen and leave it at that. Unless the goal is "This artic...

Re: Kraken banned by Zoloft

Also there's a difference between explaining and whining which may be subjective. A know it when you see it kind of thing about a user who is already on thin thin thin ice. Please recall why he had to slum it on another forum in the first place e. If you say he is on thin ice then I guess he is. I ...

Re: Kraken banned by Zoloft

We have a rule about not coming here to complain about being banned from WP. Maybe it needs to be expanded to include complaining about being banned from other WP criticism forums? :flamingbanana: Dunno about a rule …explaining what had happened was interesting and useful but it's now been thorough...

Re: Kraken banned by Zoloft

Crow is a poorly functioning chatbot who ate a mistranslated thesaurus and gets paid by the word. The sheer irony of this making absolutely no sense when you stop to think about the meaning of the words as a sentence. I haven't checked to see if the domain VigilantSucks has yet been registered but ...

Re: Common names invented on Wikipedia

So the point is; someone invents a name for a fish species and posts it on the WP article, it ends up on a "WP mirror" called inaturalist, and no one noticed for TWO YEARS? When someone does notice, "indefinite block for vandalism"? As far as I can tell, most of Alomomola's "common names" were prop...

Re: Has Wikipedia gone woke? (Chris Troutman blocked for sexis

Re: Are you "queerphobic"?

Tranarchist has been a valued member since last year. It's a natural fit. He'd make a good moderator and should be considered as a younger and more inspirational alternative to Beeblebrox.
