http://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtop ... =38&t=9214http://archive.is/8vcgZFirst I was amused at the shitness of the OP. Nothing wrong with the premise, but come on, it has been done before, and if desiring to update the knowledge with a contemporary treatment, it could be done much better.
Then I was amused by the initial replies. Yes Tarc, you don't know shit about Wikipedia of today, so shut the fuck up about critics who do.....
Then I was amused at Jake choosing this of all things to be sensitive about, and his insulting suggestion that men won't understand the offensive nature of "douchebag". Still, the revelation these people don't understand gender issues and make idiots out of themselves when trying to appear as if they do so as to appeal to Wikipedians, isn't news. They may appeal to Wikipedians by condoning what they do do, such as members calling other members Nazis and pedophiles, but they won't attract women posters.
Then I was greatly amused at Carrite continuing to act as if he is above PC snowflakery. The guy put me on ignore for the mere suggestion he didn't know what axiomatic meant and had wasted his life supporting Wikipedia because of it. Precious isn't even the word. I cut to the heart of the issue though, didn't I? With my cutting criticism highlighting with a real life example a crucial aspect of what keeps the cult of Wikipedia alive even among its dissafected members on a so called critic site. They decried me as an ignorant idiot, but when the chance came to prove it, THEY HAD NOTHING. So run, run, little Timmy, hide in your Safe Space! Happy thoughts. Soothing thoughts.
Then I was amused by the thread drifting off into a pointless debate on alternative terminology, the levity of which belies the fact they are just bored, really, really bored, and Jake is seemingly desperate not to upset the resident boring talentless snowflakes, lest he be left with a ghost forum.
Then I laughed my ass off at the desperate attempt by the OP to steer the thread back onto his preferred purposes, namely discussing Calton. The deceit! Were we not promised an over-arching survey of the preeminent douchebaggyness of the ecosystem? This is what happens when you pretend your site is above such things, while being weak and unprincipled in how you try to ensure it happens. I'd say blame Zoloft, but he appears to be on one of his extended holidays, and of course, doesn't do mod duties now anyway. Or does he?
Then I wet my pants at the site of the thread returning to the more important task of debating humerous bag related terminology. Surely Dyson doesn't deserve his name being invoked for such useless purposes? No surprise that this return to normal service was initiated by one of their many Wikipedians who pass by in the night, then encouraged by Poetlister, and furthered by Anroth.
You want these people? You respect these people? Well, that is your right I guess, but seriously, don't fucking cry when it has the inevitable result.
Welcome to Wikipediocracy!
You made your bed. So lie in it. It stinks of mouldy dog, btw.
