Malleus was busy trolling the bureaucrat's noticeboard, and Rodhullandemu (T-C-L-K-R-D) did not like this, so started threatening and attacking him on his talk page. Well, Malleus being Malleus answered the admin back and got a block from Rod... for doing the exact same thing Rod did. Moni3, Malleus's admin meatpuppet, unblocked him, and Floquenbeam blocked Rod. Who then retired for a day before returning.

There's a request for arbitration open, but it looks like it won't be happening. It's all very lulzy!

Ongoing AN discussion here, and arbitration request here.

Malley, you owe Big Flo your own version of a Horsey kiss! And for anyone who gets Rod off the site, kisses galore!

Way to go, Big Flo -- more bounce to the ounce with her, for sure!

Undoubted best line from this debacle is "I'm here at least twelve hours a day, and seven days a week, minimum […] please don't criticise me for playing the admin card, because above most other editors, I have the right to do so, because I am committed to our mission. That doesn't mean that I lack humility." I find something fascinating about the idea of someone so self-deluded as to their own importance that they think "I spend more than 50% of my life on the internet" will increase anyone's respect for them. ("Seven days a week, minimum"? How does that work, exactly?)

(adding) What on earth does "I don't have the personal luxuries enjoyed by many other editors here, but I make the effort to improve this encyclopedia in the best way I can; and that surely, should be enough" mean?

I think the weirdest part of this whole thing were people claiming Rod was a decent article writer. Seriously, how could they type that while busy rolling around on the floor just at the mere thought of claiming something so outrageously absurd?

He did write the masterpiece of education which is Cunt. (The "I don't currently have the time to concentrate on Cunt" on his userpage could be taken in so many ways. As, indeed, could…)

People also claim that there is a monster in Loch Ness. Some claims are more plausible than others. (Apologies to Nessie - no slur intended.)

Presumably he can't afford to decorate mom's basement as nicely as the wikipediots who at least have a part time job?

Any claim by any Wikipedian or anyone in support of any Wikipedian that they have any level of skill as a writer and this is demonstrated on Wikipedia by their "contributions" is not only ill founded but shows a shocking lack of understanding of the nature of nature of the very activity that occurs there. Whatever else Wikipedia might be it is not writing.

I'm not trying to get anyone off the site, and if I recall correctly Flo is a bloke. Rod just made a mistake, that's all, no big deal.

I don't see that anywhere on his userpage.

User:Rodhullandemu#cite_note-3

Oh, I thought you were quoting exactly. It's not so bad in its original form.

My bad...I mistook this Flo with FloNight. Hey, you can't tell these character apart without a program!

Yes, I used to have a similar problem. I always mixed up User:FloNight (whose real nane isn't Flo but Sydney Poore and, despite the name, is female) with Florence Nibart-Devouard. The latter is actually User:Anthere.

Condused? You will be!

He did not---it's been there since 2004, and a whole lot of people edited it.

Still....this is how you deal with RH&E, people. You use mockery.
Because you can't reason with him. I suppose that could be said to be a major
problem with WP--too many crusty, smug, contumelious Englishmen......

Yes. You start with just a standard objection, stated forthrightly.

When that doesn't work, you write a serious, sober, and scholarly essay outlining the problem (in the manner of Habermas, for example).

When that doesn't work, you turn to Civil Disobedience.

When that doesn't work, you turn to humor, mockery, and song parodies.

When that doesn't work, you mount a full-fledged comic opera that incorporates all of the above.

Hmmm, you're right, subsequent statements by Rod, once he cooled down (and all of the "It's impossible that I am immodest because then I wouldn't be perfect" kind of assertions aside) do suggest that he just messed up, whatever.

The person who should be immolated for this is Ncmvocalist, who once again jumped into drama that doesn't concern him/her and poured gasoline on the fire just because... hmmm, not sure exactly ... because it's her/his raison d'etre?

...because Durova is MIA, and some has to do it?

My sense of it is that Durova actually does some productive work in addition to running to every fire with a big can of gasoline. Ncmvocalist is all can of gasoline in search of fire, all the time.

Ncmvocalist used to known as User:Mercury, because he had a mercurial personality.

Followed by petrol bombs when no one is looking.

The problem with digital property though is that, even if one is able to nuke it ... they will be able to restore from a backup in hours.

So, what is the alternative to that? Probably football fan chants.

Music hath charms...


Ah yes, shades of Spike Jones...

Mr. Rodhullandemu must surely have set a new record for the length of his temper tantrum-to-quitting-to-returning. However, I believe Giano still holds the record for his temper tantrum-to-password scrambling-to-returning cycle. The emotional maturity level on Wikipedia is simply astounding.



ah, that makes sense. He has the same quality, where if you try to parse what he writes, it makes you lose IQ points, bringing you closer to his level.

I thought it was because he could prance like Freddy Mercury while screaming vocals.

An early Durova protege, don't forget. Possibly into macrame.

I know his behavior tends to induce bulimian rhapsody.

Are we sure about this? You're probably right, but I thought Mercury/Navou etc eventually wound up as NonvocalScream. Or maybe that was just an 80's hair band.

Oh, you may be right. I may have confused Ncmvocalist with NonvocalScream (aka Mercury/Navou).

I am staying on Wikipedia, come what may. I have no time for losers, which is why I see no reason to participate here. You may not like my attitude, but you cannot deny my contributions. If you're not able to see that, er, fuck you.

Encyclopedist (T-C-L-K-R-D) ???

It does have the same personality as Rod. Too bad that account isn't fresh enough to see if it really is Rod, as the use on WR is Rod.

Coincidence that Rod started August 2007 while Encyclopedist was banned in January 2007, giving enough time and then some to ensure that IPs couldn't be checked?

I think we found out why Rod is such a douche.

I don't think Encyclopedist is Rod, given that I know who 'pedist is IRL. He's got another account and is no longer banned, FWIW. Water under the bridge I'm just surprised at seeing that old name reappear here, and in this context.

"Fuck you" right back at you, loser Wikipedian. I have no idea what your "contributions" might be but if you mean Wikipedia who cares? Your three posts here contribute nothing and show no promise. Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Thank you for responding to that nasty person's slur against my comment. You get a big Horsey kiss for that. Mwah! Mwah!

I didn't really see what the comment had to do with your post. I figured the loser didn't know how to post without replying to a preceding post.

I said: "And for anyone who gets Rod off the site, kisses galore!"

He said: "I am staying on Wikipedia, come what may...You may not like my attitude, but you cannot deny my contributions. If you're not able to see that, er, fuck you."

The comment was a response to my post.

Carry on, Wikipedians.

Wait, now I'm confused —

Exactly who is screwing who?

And who will have to buy who dinner first?

From another thread:

I'm pretty sure Rod created this WR account unaware that DJB a.k.a. Ulysses-whatsit had once used the same name on WP.

See, I think he only said "no time for losers" because the Freddie Mercury references earlier in the thread reminded him of Queen's massive hit, "We Are the Champions." So that means he probably did read the earlier posts in this thread, which in turn means that he doesn't think we're "losers" at all (since he does, in fact, have time for us) or that he does, in fact, have time for losers, in which case he was simply lying.

I was thinking someone could do an "atrocious song parody" of "We Are the Champions," and call it "We Are the Admins" - the lyrics practically write themselves - but I didn't want to encourage that sort of thing, and besides, someone might have already done it.

That doesn't square with Encyclopedist's block log.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...3AEncyclopedist

He was first blocked on 8 May 2006, with note "After being identified as abuse sock-puppeter, admits this and asks to be blocked. So be it." He was unblocked and given a second chance, then reblocked on 31 July 2006. He was blocked again (by Tiptoety) on 13 Nov 2009 for "full-fledged exhaustion of community patience", which I suppose is meant to be a ban.



Indeed, I know what the new account is, and it's quite a nicely little productive one.

Simply the greatest film in the history of British cinema.



Actually, it means: "I've got the block button and I don't like you, so n'yah n'yah n'yah!"

You cannot exhaust "community patience" without a community.

Minimum was referring to the 12 hours a day part. So apparently he's on Wikipedia at least 12 hours a day, if not more.

A lot of admin abuse going on here. Floquenbeam, Moni unilaterally unblocking, Rod... for being a hypocrite, Bishonen for generally being a hypocrite and terrible admin...

I'm dissenting! Best line was this classic ploy at RHE's doomed Arb request:

That was about 3 days & 500 edits ago.

Funny, but when "A Nobody" stated that he did not wish to participate in an Arbcom discussion due to health issue, his account was immediately disabled in complete violation of WP:BLOCK policy.

Another pearl of wisdom from rodhead:



So apparently drunks may be bad drivers, but their advice... that is spot on.

Like when they advise you to get the hell out of their way... jackash!

In some pubs in the world, Chris "Editing While Drunk" Cunningham is a deity.

Actually, the rest of the quote gives me reason to stop and say, "Whoa, someone needs a shoulder":



I am not even touching that.

Rodhullendemu is clearly not well, and he's being done no favours by those who are choosing to ignore his increasingly erratic behaviour. As I've said elsewhere, I find it mildly amusing that several arbitrators and administrators are doing what they can to divert attention away from one of their own and instead trying to place the blame for Rod's blow out on me. No surprise there.
