i thought wikipedia frowned on "backrooms", shitty or not.Tamzin's userpage wrote:i used to be a very active administrator here. eventually i got disillusioned by the way we treat one another in the shitty backrooms where meta-level decisions are made. (that's a "we", not a "they"; i was absolutely part of the problem.) i'm still around to work on writing articles—which is, you know, what wikipedia is actually for—as well as some amount of navigational and technical work. my only engagement in "projectspace" discussions is when it directly relates to those. please take no offense if i do not respond to messages or pings in other contexts.
then unblock me you retarded skank.if you find yourself spending more time talking about the people who write wikipedia than being one of those people, remember that you can fix that today:
thats a lot of links for one sentence. following the last one takes you to a Signpost page where he bitched about failing his RfA which was courtesy blanked yesterday by Tamzin. it looks like he withdrew after confessing to supporting Donald Trump, and claiming to be a fascist.may your memory forever be for a blessing, O Comrade Vami_IV (1999–2024). you gave this community so much and you deserved so much better than what it gave you—and you still kept giving, nevertheless.
...so the tranny who wrote Wikipedia:No Nazis had a close friend who was a fascist.
(emphasis added)I feel obliged to elaborate here, as I think the discussion below is utterly unfair to Vami. Joe Roe and others have spun a narrative based on a hypothetical version of Vami that simply doesn't exist. I'm a disabled queer trans leftist Jewish woman. The Nazis would have killed me five times over. And I am an ardent anti-fascist. I have spoken to Vami at length about social justice issues on Discord. He has readily acknowledged and apologized for his past beliefs, never trying to hide them, always unequivocally acknowledging that he was wrong. In fact, I've had to dissuade him from being too hard on himself about them. He's someone who's passionate about social justice and about opposing fascism in all forms. I would not vote for him otherwise.
I imagine my views on the intersection of far-right politics and adminship are more extreme than Joe's: I'd be fine with a rule that we automatically desysop any Trump supporter. I will never vote for an admin candidate who's right-of-center by American standards (although I wouldn't vote against someone solely on that basis). I'm sure that'll piss some people off, but, like I said, I'm a disabled queer trans leftist Jewish woman. I have very low tolerance for those I associate with my oppression. Vami asked me (unprompted) a while ago, did I think he should have been blocked for the fascist userbox? I gave him my honest answer: Yes. And, I told him, I would have supported an unblock once he wised up and apologized. Wikipedia is no place for fascists. But it's a perfectly fine place for people who believed dumb things as teenagers and later apologized.
All of this criticism is of a caricature, painting a conscientious supporter of social justice and anti-fascism as some wolf in sheep's clothing based on unsubstantiated fearmongering. I think several commenters here should be ashamed of the conclusions they've leapt to. We don't check WP:AGF at the door when we come to vote at RFA. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 09:29, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
"my oppression" - Tamzin
"but thou art rich" - Revelation 2:9
so a Trump voter meets an internet tranny in a wikipedia discord and is dead within a couple of years. many such cases, very sad.
i wonder if she browbeat him about Trump so hard he offed himself within a couple of years. it would not surprise me, a similar thing happened to Shuaiby, a Moslem who joined one of these grooming Discords and blew out his brains on camera.
