Guy Macon trolling people about the time he faked having had a heart attack just to avoid a crushing defeat at RfA Guy Macon supposedly had a heart attack on 3 March, serious enough to require immediate hospitalization and a 9 day spell in intensive care.

Re: CrowsNest on Reddit

Daily Mail hating Guy Chapman (JzG) realizes he's about to lose an RfC, so he blocks the filer and wipes every other participants view from the record. That's how you win at Wikipedia, just pure and simple naked corruption and abuse of power. You dare someone to stop you, and rely on the fact nobod...

Re: Nathan Larson/Tisane/Leucosticte etc. thread

Given that he has long been threatened with violence, which he has ignored, not likely he took it down from a threat. He may have been requested to take it down, he might have decided it was an error. I see that Larson is still editing BoyWiki. He is a dedicated extreme libertarian troll. For years,...

Re: Hersch resigned at Wikipediocracy

I attribute a lot of that to Zolofts new direction for the site and making it into a pro wikipedia forum. Zoloft the would-be Wikipedia arbitrator. Talk about a low point in wikicriticism. WPO, like WR before it, was never an "anti-Wikipedia" site, and always had some highly privileged WP users. Su...
