Re: Drmies

You'd obviously have better luck finding him there than me. The cached version of his now deleted Wikipedia biography begins like this.... Michel Aaij is a Dutch-born American scholar of Old English language and literature, who specializes in the study of medieval poetry. He is an associate professo...

Drmies

Events of this early morning, more of which at the bottom, seem like a fitting trigger to begin a thread here on the notorious Wikipedia user, Adminsitrator and former Arbitrator, Drmies, who is in real life the Dutch-expat Michel Aaij, now of the University of Auburn at Montgomery, Alabama. Everyth...

Re: The reason CrowsNest got banned

As hopeless a case as she is, I don't think she warrants much discussion here.

John Carter

Look at this precious little weasel in action... A few questions regarding the muted function. Is it intended as temporary or permanent? Also, I guess, honestly, if someone is banned from communicating here, but still able to read everything, might that not make the person more likely to sock or oth...

Re: Calling people racist is apparently a problem now

I think a reply of mine to this post might be stuck in the moderation queue applied to early posts of new members.....?

Re: Zoloft steps down from moderating

He's taking a leaf out of Snowflake John Carter's book - not content with having announced it once, he's now pathetically turning up in random threads just to remind people his snowflake ass has done a snowflake thing, presumably hoping people will show sympathy. What a weak little man. Isn't he sup...

Re: The reason CrowsNest got banned

Sashi, I was just trying to do her a favour. She didn't have email enabled when I looked, and instead of engaging with me, she ran straight to the nest of vipers and began treating me like a fool, so I informed her she's not so important or deserving of sympathy that she can't be made a useful idiot...

Earthy Astringent

Anyone know this guy's Wikipedia account? Someone who thinks Eric Corbett was a victim of culture warriors, and who doesn't believe closing the gender gap would benefit Wikipedia, absolutely has to be one of the small band of troglodytes involved in the GGTF Arb case. IMO he’s a fantastic content de...

Why does Wikipediocracy take a pro-snowflake stance?

For as long as I can remember, Wikipediocracy has taken the position that it should be pro-snowflake, with the qualifier that this only applies to the established clique. By that I mean, they take the view that clique members are entitled to have whatever opinions they like, no matter how ridiculous...

Lourdes is the latest new admin, and she's probably nuts

So, it's well established now that one side effect of the dearth of applications to undergo the protocological examination required to become an admin, is that anyone who isn't showing major warning signs, is just waved through, procession style. Even people who raise legitimate issues, as Andrew Da...
