Yeah, SwatJester is full of 'em.

Yet another gem from his/her talk page:

I did not realize the block time had expired, apologies. That said, while attempting to whitewash your history is not against policy, it's certainly not something that reflects highly on you or your actions. ⇒ SWATJester Denny Crane. 16:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)


Maybe SJ — hmmm, coincidence ??? — should try telling that to SlimVirgin ...

You probably instead want User:Pleasantville/User_talk_2-23-07_to_8-8-07 as it was archived.

No. The current one is something that should be a WP headquote. (Certainly there are other good lines back in various archive. But nothing approaching the zen koan purity of this.)

Yes, it wouldn't do for a Wikipedians to "show their knowledge."

it's not showing blank for me, but in case it is for anyone else here is a screen to what I think Kathryn is talking about.

Well, this is nothing more than simple nitpicking harassment by this "Swatjester" dude. The main argument appears to be here, in which Swatjester is apparently trying to suggest that Hugo awards are awarded to publications, not to people, which presumably means that the people producing the publications are supposed to sit there quietly at the awards dinner whilst copies of the winning publications miraculously sprout legs, walk up to the podium, and give acceptance speeches.

I'd have to assume that Kathryn's participation here has something to do with it, but presumably Mr. Swat is clever enough to not leave anything around history-wise that would allow someone to prove that.

That was new. I kept hitting a blank page before.

Damn screenshots !!! Now I have to break a sweat shifting the horizontal scroll bar for the rest of the thread. A simple quote box is sufficient among friends — it's not like it's a wikiphederal case or anything.

Anyway, SwatJester appears to be the sort of Wikiprig Xtraordinaire that can symptomize nothing so much as a wikiprepubescent 12 year old who just ain't getting laid yet.

Check out this wikipetulant harassment of soon2BXwikipedian Steven Andrew Miller.

Then again, you have to wonder about people who will eat up Wikiprecious diskspace with elaborate signatures that get pasted at the end of every signed post:

I've seen worse, of course — DennyColt, I think, wasted many more bytes than that, but it's been a while, so I can't be sure if that was the one I saw ...

Well this will only get worse. [[User:Armed Blowfish | Alarmed Bullshit]] has issued directives on which colors are calming and which upsetting on his fragile and bruised Psyche. If insensitive users fail to use "AB Safe" colors in their signatures they are in effect community banning AB.

He got really mad when I called him Denny. I just thought it was his first name.

Just for the record — and with a bit of luck a whole new paradigm in conspiracy data — here's one of DennyColt's old sigs:

CODE

<font color="#0000C0">[[User:DennyColt|Denny]]</font> <sup><i>(<font color="#7A1616">[[User_talk:DennyColt|talk]]</font>)</i></sup>


I was thinking that there was one that was a Really Big Shew, and some Ædmin complained about it, but maybe that was somebody else.

Kathryn mailed SwatHead's quote to Teresa Nielsen-Hayden, who posted it in her Making Light blog, and the gleeful teeing off on Wikipedia in the comments is a joy to behold. smile.gif

THere's another going on with Don Murphy, who has some beef about some WP editor somewhere on his personal website.

No, I am already community banned. I am annoyed at the colours of the banning
notice. Getting banned is upsetting enough without WP waving a red flag in front
of you.

Yes, I was pretty harsh toward you during that period. It was over the "second rape" comments. I saw these comments as over blown hyperbole being used to shield SlimVirgin from legitimate attempts at determining her IRL identity relating to her POV pushing and abusive conduct. This wasn't exactly what you were saying but it was being picked up and used by others on wikien-l in that manner. I felt that your "font color" concerns where rather emo and trivial and that the level of concern for the sensitivities you where seeking would stifle inquiry.

Don't they still deny that they have banned you in any manner on WP? Are you "moderated" on wikien-l?

Do you know what 'the second rape' means? It isn't rape, and it isn't something
perpetrated by an individual, or even one's enemies. It is something done to one by
those who ought to have supported one - family, friends, etc. It also only applies to
certain kinds of reasoning, i.e. 'by being attacked, you are hurting WP. You should
therefore go away, for the good of the encyclopaedia, but since those who truly love
WP will never leave, you should come back on another account, so you won't give
us any trouble, and continue to contribute.'

Evidence that Ms. SV is compassionate

And we were discussing the ethics of personal information collection and publication
over in this thread.

It was a small request. It would've cost them absolutely nothing to change it. Their
failure to do so demonstrates sadisticness.

I don't know if they still deny it - the people who were denying it before aren't talking
to me now. In any case, most of Tor is still hardblocked, I've been long banned from
asking OTRS for page blankings/deletions on the threat that an AN/I will be filed
against me if I do, my account is indefinitely blocked with e-mail disabled, and no, I
can't post on wikien-l.
