Well, there was that one time early on when you thought I was a troll and a sockpuppet, but hey, we all make mistakes.
But yes, they way they interact with me these days, communicating through intermediaries and generally being spoken of in hushed tones as if I may never have even existed at all, on the odd occasion they're not overtly pretending I don't exist (even while obviously reading my posts!), it really is only explained by them being terrified of what I am capable of, if I was ever allowed back.
Even as a poster who otherwise goes along with their sham policy that they have standards and expectations of how posters should interact, I still got banned for making them feel sad about themselves, highlighting their failures and hypocrisies. So you can only imagine how they would freak out if I was unconstrained by any such niceties. Even Eric, the guy who proclaims to have never been afraid to call a cunt a cunt, is too afraid to come here and accept the challenge of proving
I'm the one who has no clue.
As you and Dysklyver have proved recently, Wikipediocracy is now the place where the Eric Corbett's of this world get to say things like 'antitrust only applies where Google has direct commercial benefit' and the regulars just keep their mouths shut, being either too stupid to realise what BS that is, or too afraid to get on Eric's shit list to point it out. Similarly, it is a place where Jake gets to come in and claim there's never been a successful antitrust suit against Google where hasn't been clear and obvious blacklisting. It matters not to these pride filled ingnoramouses that both of these ideas are thoroughly debunked by the contents of the links you both tried to educate Eric with.
King Jake then proclaims the thread will soon be locked, because
you people are the problem, not him or his moderator (who did nothing to stop the thread being derailed off topic in the first place). Not that Jake even thinks the original subject was valid, because of course he agrees with the Wikipedians that the ban of someone nobody else knows the identity of, was correct. This is why both of you will eventually be banned from there. They don't like being corrected, much less contradicted. The difference to this place in that crucial aspect, is clear and obvious.
