MastCell & Hidden Tempo

This got some attention over at the WR-2 forum before that island went under. (An appeal is in motion.) I know that some folks here have been attentive to Mastcell's conducting of bidness over the years and this latest block of his is generating some attention. First Alex Shih got involved, then Ale...

Re: Sagecandor/Minassian thread

This has been beaten into a froth already but we might as well have a central clearing area for it. Specially since I keep running into related things. The primary reason we know about this is "Sashi" aka "SashiRolls" on Auggie's WR-II forum. m m m m m His diatribe about Sagecan...

Re: Radio show tomorrow about Wikipedia

I really must make clearer that I have not been able to uncover clear "smoking gun" evidence that Sagecandor works for Minassian Media, Eric. However, based on what Tarantino has written on Wikipediocracy, you might want to look back on your impressive file on Cirt. (I am convinced he is r...

Re: New blog post by Billy Burns the "simple man"

This is a bit crunchier, though I've only just gotten started folding the relevant-(to-this-case) bit about the Form 990 yet.

What do you know about User:Yann, Eric?

Re: Greg Kohs has been WMF globally banned

Graaf -- based on some info from a couple different sources, I don't think that Kato is going to respond; I'm fairly certain they're not following the forum anymore.

Garsh and here I was ready to start The (new, straight-from-scratch) Brock thread. Poor guy. :|

Re: Excon influence on the 2017 French elections

erm... is it 2017 already? ^^

Mélencron has been a fascinating user.

and the story of Snoog should be circulated widely, no?

Meanwhile, at WPO, it's "take me to the kittens". Should I ask them to shine a light into dark places or just let them be?

Re: Excon influence on the 2016 French elections

No idea, Eric. I would love to see Mélenchon make it to the second round. At first I assumed the 2nd round would be Macron-LePen and that Macron would win the 2nd round. But lately, I've been a bit less pessimistic seeing Hamon fade and Mélenchon rise. Given that Macron has been caught on camera a f...

Excon influence on the 2016 French elections

Looks like another former prisoner has gone apeshit. As if it wasn't enough that the neoliberals have torn apart the French pink party. (historical note: in the pink primaries, voters massively rejected the former prime minister (Valls), who has since rejoined powerful French (former) mayors like De...
