Normally wikipedia admins are free to blank any talk page comments from non admins all they want and then claim they non-admins were child molestors, neo-nazis, trolls, serial killers, scientologists, vandals, taliban terrorists, space aliens, sock puppets, dolphins, or whatever they want to make up.

But eventually an admin will get a comment on their talk page they don't like and revert it thinking this guy's not an admin and well it was a mistake because it turns out it was an admin.

Then the shit hits the fan.

I think that whatever it is, he caught it from JzG....

Pretty funny indeed;...

How often has JzG done this?

Quote: "I have told you to contact the unblock mailing list to request that your account be unblocked. At this point, you should just create a different account and not tell me about it. Leave me be."

Tells someone he blocked to instead of bothering to get unblocked as he won't unblock them, to just make a sock puppet.

That block and protection is going to be overturned as soon as it hits AN/I

I can't wait to see if someone makes a post about it overnight.

Personally, I'm also getting a Gustavon-esque vibe from Ryulong right now. How long until the non sequitur edit comments?

Maury Markowitz has been around Wikipedia forever, has been an admin since before most of these jerks were in high school, and is one of the most reasonable people on Wikipedia .... but he's not at all political, and doesn't follow-through. He seems genuinely to want to simply contribute, so he ends up letting crap like this go down in the end. Why he's still around is beyond me.

when they run Ryulong out, we're going to welcome him with open arms, right? biggrin.gif

honestly i find the guy's actions on wiki an endless source of entertainment

Bobby: I do too. I've stopped short so many times of saying "That Ryulong is batshit insane".
