Harumph!² — Could some nice mod please move the non-bon-motto flaming to the tarpit — some of us are busting our brains here trying to find Wikipedia a new motto.

We shall move that and related posts (including this one, and the deleted one IMO) to the WRR forum as soon as Mr. Bee has amassed enough posts of his own to view and post to that forum...

Anyway, it's just that nobody ever did anything like that here before, and we're a little hypervigilant when it comes to new registrants, given the fact that the real spammers are far more numerous (and probably far more clever) than we are. I'm sure Mr. Bee understands - it's nothing personal!


Thanks for that, Mr. Somey, I think that made sense. So yes, I do understand. But I agree with (and apologize to) John A & RDH [IAWAATJAARDH] - I feel bad that the thread got derailed, and am happy for the crap to be clipped, whether or not I can see it. I'd be even happier if no one had seen it, but that ship has sailed.

Of course, it would be unproductive of me to point out that a quick message informing me of the deletion would have prevented me ever asking, and thus the whole subsequent public analysis of my various shortcomings...

But nobody likes paralipsis.

Good. I would have said "Always a few monkeys short of Shakespeare" but yours better conveys the manic and unjustified optimism of the place.

Thanks. What's neat is that there's already a companion article for it on-wiki that nicely expands the metaphor. Particularly the section titled "Real monkeys".

QUOTE
Primate behaviorists Cheney and Seyfarth remark that real monkeys would indeed have to rely on chance to have any hope of producing Romeo and Juliet. Unlike apes and particularly chimpanzees, the evidence suggests that monkeys lack a theory of mind and are unable to differentiate between their own and others' knowledge, emotions, and beliefs. Even if a monkey could learn to write a play and describe the characters' behavior, it could not reveal the characters' minds and so build an ironic tragedy.

Words fail me.

Go ahead. I find it ironic that the Wikipedia cult and the Scientology cult are not friends. Then again, Wikipedia was founded by technological libertarians opposed dogmatically to any limitations on information... be it good, true, false, or bad information. Scientology tries to suppress bad information (true or false) about itself, ergo Wikipedians have openly declared war against it. Even more ironically is that Wikipedians do the same thing to its critics just like Scientology! I see that Cirt (T-C-L-K-R-D) had a hand in the article. Yes, a separate thread on this could work.

Jimbo finding a flaw in WP:CONSENSUS reminds me of blubberfaced Greenspan admitting that he'd found a wee error in his view that the market always regulated itself. unhappy.gif

You know, if WP:CONSENSUS always worked, it would have no trouble coming to a WP:CONSENSUS as to what the goals should be. Would it not?

Guess Jimbo sets the goals, now. Other than that, it's YOUR encyclopedia, folks! confused.gif
