My god. He names his cat after Jimbo, and is surprised little Jimbo likes shit, just like his godfather.
What else can you expect of a cat named Jimbo, Eric? Jimbo likes shit, it seems clear to me.

JImbo is selfish and greedy. He sits in Bitey's favorite box and shame on him.

I prefer the cat. The cat looks cleaner and honest.

There are much better systems to claim a favorite spot, just lie on another cat. I really don't know why this is the place to be, but it is. For years now. Both gentleman are from Greece by the way, from West-Crete.

Nothing, because it's getting boring. And about WP-NL and WM-NL, both projects are dead. Nobody is interested in the project, except a few wikimedia trolls.
They can fuck themself, it's a fake project, and if WMF stops there grands there is nothing left and the only thing they can do is delete it. Not my headache.
Shall I tell something about making trees for a toy train scenery ? To pass the time?

I was reading an interview with Joe Hill, horror writer and son of Stephen King. Much of the interview talked about how the online world is basically just a continuous horror novel you can read and experience every day, 24/7. It's made us numb and vicious. In the interview:

Talking a little about social media and tribalism: New England has a history of small, close communities where horrible things happen, which translates nicely into fiction. Do you think living there helps with your stories?

That's the rap on New England communities. It's like The Lottery, where they're all waiting for that time when you draw the short stick and get stoned by your neighbors.

I think the online world is much more tribal. When it’s winter and there's a big snowstorm and someone is stuck in a snowbank, you pull over to help them without checking their political credentials first, without confirming to yourself that they believe the things you believe and share the views that you share. You just get out help. Whereas on the internet, we relish when the people we disagree with suffer, and abhor their victories. We love to pile on online. I hate that. It's gross. I don’t like being the person who piles on. I don’t like what it does to me.


We can't stand the horror, but we can't turn away from it. We're addicted to it. So we look for distractions, like lolcats. However, we always go back to the horror. Honestly, the Internet sounds like Hell. No wonder it's hard to get people interested in Wikipedia's and the Wikimedia Foundations' shenanigans. It's just not shocking enough to warrant a look by the public and, believe me, I've seen a lot of shocking things on Wikipedia. We've looked at Wikipedia as like a unique place, but it's no different than any other social media site. The problems we see on Wikipedia are a problem throughout the Internet.

Yes, but what makes Wikipedia so super special is: a) Every crap article on every crap wiki is top ranking in Google, b) The money what is involved is in the hands of the wrong persons. c) The power what's in in the hands of a bunch of complete idiots.
You don't know the Dutch Wikipedia, it is such a pity you don't understand Dutch. It is pure entertainment.
For years now a small group of around ten not so clever users (understatement) is trolling everybody else out to defend there beloved Wikimedia chapter. In a very open way, With Natuur12, it's absolute clear he is a powerful WMF agent, as a epic center. But, there trolling went constant wrong, and every troll action ends up in a huge drama, because Natuur12, the leader of the gang, is a incompetent idiot. A complete fool.

I think WMF has the idea he is a huge talent who has everything under control on WP-NL, and is one of their amazing users. But the true is he and his friends are making such a incredible chaos, you won't believe it. And, because everything is going in the wrong direction, they also start now to fight internal, because it is ridiculous what they are doing. Now they are complete crazy, they troll everybody out, and what is left is only a small group of stupide, fighting Wikimedia members, Who are not able to write even a simple article, because they all are autistic as hell. And there are also a few real funny poking trolls openly active, what they don't understand.

But it's absolute clear they have to listen to Natuur12, he is still in charge. I am looking forward for the next drama, and I know it's very bad of me, but I hope they are going on in this way for years, because were else do you find such a great entertainment for free?
It is only a pity they have dumped Ymnes, he was absolute a factor in this troll fun, because he didn't understand what was going on and ruined always every troll plan by telling what was going on. But you can't have it all, because it's free source wiki fun.

Well put. Sadly there are probably hundreds of thousands of people in the Internet industry who depend for their livelihoods on keeping the happy face on the "free and open" Internet. We complain about WP because it is easy and they're incredibly incompetent, but even worse abuses are happening on Facebook, Reddit and Twitter every day. Most of which are never discussed at all because those sites are "for profit", and set up to vanish anything questionable very quickly.

I help to run a subreddit where we try to post any kind of internal scandal or abuse; it's difficult to find them, and we usually only post when it ends up on an IT news site or somewhere. This is literally the only compiled public history of Reddit; do you see any Reddit fans reading or talking about it?
