Not sure if that was the most sensible option, but the deleted posts included one that called GW a "motherfucking cunt" so maybe it was the best.

Ah, I didn't see that. I would have removed it too, but for the simple reason that it's vulgar abuse.

Eric never did like her..... :lol: (no idea if he was the one who said it due to the scrambling efforts of Jake, but if the shoe fits so perfectly....)

Jake is now blaming everyone else for Gorilla Warfare being able to easily sidestep the more relevant questions. No dude, that's all you. :oops: And if you got guys running around talking about SJWs, maybe you are a hate site? :?: Not sure who said that either, but Carrite certainly has form for that sort of thing.

I'd have a word, set him straight, but I know your policy on not making the regulars get the bad feels....only gets the good Samaritan banned for their troubles. I guess that's not looking like too wise a strategy now. If only you had the foresight to see how your forum looked back when GW had no reason to stop by.

If he's gonna go to the trouble of getting his weed-whacker out, he could do a proper job of it and remove all the off topic posts. :roll:

More Beeblebrox flailing against Everipedia....
You're not going to beat Wikipedia at it's own game by writing articles about individual WP admins, because nobody who isn't a WP insider gives a shit.
Mental. I spent five minutes trying to figure out how this sentence is supposed to make any sense. Got nowhere.

If he doesn't fear Everipedia, why can't he stop FREAKING OUT and telling everyone it will be a total failure?

Fanboys......proper crazy. :roll:

I think maybe he's worried that since both me and Paul are perfectly happy to write bios on admins, that he is next?

Not that I will write about him on Everipedia of course, since that would probably be doxing, and doxing is bad. ;)

I suppose it depends what you think Wikipedia's game is. If you think it's to provide some kind of encyclopaedia, then, no, writing more articles about people you have a grudge against instead of fixing the million or so defective ones is not going to be a winning strategy. If you think it's an addictive MMORPG that can be effectively monetised for its provider, then maybe adding a few new levels and side quests based around cross-game conflict is a good idea.

Jake is now arguing Kupdung might have simply used GW's real name because he's old and/or sees Wikipedia as a formal environment. What a load of old rubbish.

It's kind of fun watching all the old guard FREAK THE FUCK OUT about the very idea Everipedia has anything to do with Wikipedia.

As I've said often, it never interested me to discuss Wikipedia alternatives, my focus is on destroying Wikipedia. But that is so not the reason the fanboys are freaking out. They're pissed because they go to Wikipediocracy to dream one day they (or someone else more like, these people are just lazy whiners) can fix Wikipedia, and all this talk of replacing it with something better, is making them worry their dream will never come true.

Beeblebrox proudly proclaims he already has two people on ignore, proving what I've always said about the sort of shitlord who does that (and the sort of site admin who allows it).

I haven't logged in over a year now. While I'm curious, I'll assume it best just to stay away. I know I've likely made enemies there.

Jake has finally found his voice, and is speaking in tones of slightly less reverence to GW, questioning her as "part of the leadership" (wonder where he got that idea from :roll: ).

Sadly, he's simply talking complete crap, a sad attempt to bolster his idea Kupdung used her real name because he's some sort of traditionalist.

He did it because he wanted the person he was talking to know she was a woman, a powerful Wikipedia woman who he clearly thought would rally to support him in his efforts to crush his opppenent. Don't go looking for complex explanations when the simplest is staring you in the face.

With another twenty pages added about the side issue of what is an appropriate username, I'm guessing we can forget all about the idea she might be asked a relevant question about this incident.
