Re: Average Wikipediocrazy "discussion"
Baby steps, baby steps. They've had TWENTY-THREE YEARS of "baby steps". The toddler is old enough to VOTE and BUY LIQUOR in all 50 US states. Does the model of WP as a Mass Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game still apply? Answering my own question: Not really. Is that because the model was wrong a...

Re: Average Wikipediocrazy "discussion"
...as for "calm and rational discussion"........numerous people have tried that, over and over, since 2004. Such things don't work with a "cultic network" like Wikipedia. They are too busy fighting stupid wars and knifing people in the back to seriously engage in "rational discussion". Baby steps, ...

Re: Average Wikipediocrazy "discussion"
This is why it pays to keep abreast of what is going on at Wikipedia. Who is doing what and why. Expertise has value. Information is power. This is why so called critics keep banning me, then regretting their decision, once they look around at the meagre pickings on offer when I'm not around. The s...

Re: Average Wikipediocrazy "discussion"
...Now everyone knows Zoloft has "better things to do" than answer his critics. And we can see those better things were to be a good little Wikipedian . All for his forum's current very important matter, this thread , where Yngvadottir, rnu, Elinruby, Zoloft, are all looking happy and engaged. But ...

Re: Kraken banned by Zoloft
Like a ninja, I slipped in silently, quietly, not rocking the boat. Don't kid yourself. Tarantino spotted you right away but decided to let you post again. Same as we do. I'm sure you could sound like someone else if you tried, but that would make it work, not fun; you enjoy your trademark diatribe...

Re: Did the Wikipedians live up to what Larry Sanger hoped they would become?
• to be open and warmly welcoming, not insular, —C-minus. Talks the talk but does not walk the walk with respect of "don't bite the noobs" • to be focused singlemindedly on writing an encyclopedia, not on Usenet-style debate, —A-minus.

Re: Describing Wikipedia in 3 words.
Not an encyclopedia. Techbro's last stand. Threat to children. Run by children. Bad for you. Waste of resources. Waste of money. Waste of life. One epic grift. Jimmy's biggest regret. $75 an hour. Hate over hope. Fantasy over reality. Hiding its truth. Protecting its own. Works in theory. Broken in...

Re: We don't mind liars, as long as they are "on our side."
This is my first post here since I experienced an ischemic stroke. When I wrote the above, I was already experiencing early stroke symptoms. My doctor did not recognize them but I think the post above was the last one I wrote before I went to bed that night and I woke up in the middle of the night ...
