::::::::::"Most people think the publicized deaths of strangers should only be discussed with the utmost reverence. For those who don't, there's nothing wrong with speculations about Andy's reaction" - by the same argument, it's hard to see what would be so wrong with old Schlaffers using the killings as Bioglide for expressing his stupid opinions on the UK, but the impression I get from the above discussion is that it would be pretty awful of him to do just that. Obviously the suggestion itself isn't out of this world, given his sickening 'for those keeping the score' postings everytime someone in the entertainment industry dies, but if Andy does indeed invoke this tragedy to bolster an opinion, I don't see how you can say you aren't guilty of the same thing and to that extent as bad as him [[Special:Contributions/86.147.60.191|86.147.60.191]] ([[User talk:86.147.60.191|talk]]) 19:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

::::::::::::To rephrase: You'd be guilty of jumping on a tragedy to bolster your opinion. I wasn't referring to you personally, Neveruse. My point is there's an inherent double standard in saying "This tragedy was awful - and Andy, nasty bastard that he is, will probably use it to make a point!" but that appears to be the thrust of some of the discussion above. However, I am starting to tie myself in knots and am feeling I should godspeed my way out of here.

: People, trying to make a joke along the lines of "I bet teh Assfly will maek joak abowt tis! And it wil be teh funnie!!!!!!1!" is NOT cool. It is simply crap. There are plenty of cases where Andy DOES do this, and at one point it would have been worth highlighting them. Now, since so many daft twats here keep jumping the gun and posting what they ''think'' he will say, the entire point is lost.

Ken, machismo, again...

A few hours after Ken bans someone for adding "Do socialists have machismo" to the new socialism project, he writes a redlink for the exact same article as part of the "Does X have machismoimg series....P-Foster (talk) 03:26, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

That's just weird. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:35, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps I’m just an effeminate quiche-eating limp-wristed Nancy-boy, but I was under the impression that “machismo” wasn’t necessarily a positive characteristic. In fact, I thought that it sort of connotated sexism and violence. But, like I said, perhaps I’m not the most accurate source, what with the quiche-eating or whatever. The electrocutioner (talk) 07:18, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
You say that as if it was a bad thing. Gmb (talk) 10:38, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Ken does realize John Wayne was an actor, right? --Kels (talk) 03:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
And might have been... (gasp) homosexual? Or is that just ugly rainbow propaganda? ħumanUser talk:Human 03:38, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Really, John Wayne Marion was gay? Acei9 03:42, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
I dunno. It might just be a pride fantasy. Searching the WP article for "homo" yields a "no" beep at the second "o". Also a three year affair with Marlene Dietrich would seem to indicate a preference for the Ladies. Wives and chilluns don't count, they are common among prominent homosexuals, but hobbies, well, they speak large. ħumanUser talk:Human 04:02, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Also he wore a hairpiece. And it was a a very machistic hairpiece. Speaking of machismo, watching that utube of one of Ken's lovers reading bits of the RD/machismo article made me fall off my chair. ħumanUser talk:Human 04:07, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Hollywood values, in any case, if the string of mistresses has anything to say about it. --Kels (talk) 05:09, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
By the way, just out of curiosity: I am not a native anglophone, so I'm looking for feedback from native speakers: is it linguistically correct to argue whether someone HAS machismo or not? Normally, this is a form that I find associated with diseases ("He has AIDS", "She has herpes") but not with other adjectives (e.g., "Andy's brother is gay" and not "Andy's brother has gayness", "Conservapedia is sexist" rather than "Conservapedia has sexism" and so on.) So, is my non-anglophone ear correct in considering this a very awkward form to put it? --Maquissar (talk) 12:55, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
I guess someone has machismo in the same way someone has charisma. Personality trait is something you can have. If you were using the adjective form you would say is, e,g. so-and-so is charismatic (so-and-so is machismoic?). - π 13:10, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Usually macho is used as the adjective. WěǎšěǐǒǐďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 13:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
As Machismo is a spanish word, I guess you'd need to use the spanish adjective, which is "machista", or the noun, "macho" (literally, "male"). Perhaps you are right, some personality traits can be "had" (although you wouldn't say that someone HAS generosity, or kindliness, or evilness)... --Maquissar (talk) 13:17, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
I'll also note that in Spanish machismo means 'sexism' or 'male chauvinism', which makes Ken's diatribes about Hispanic women not seeing much machismo in Dawkins funny. --Night Jaguar (talk) 13:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Am I the only one imagining Ken dancing around his bedroom, singing Sinita's So Macho in to a hairbrush? Don't worry Ken, one day the right hunk of a guy will put an end to your longing. --ConcernedResident omg ponies!!! 13:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Machismo is the ism of macho. Macho means manliness. Machismo is male chauvinism like has been said. So they're pretty different concepts. I'm sure Dawkins is happy that years of cultivating a lack of male chauvinism finally paid off with the Latino ladies noticing all his hard work. As for Asian ladies and Dawkin's lack of yin, I have to think that word also has some special ad hoc meaning to which we haven't been made privy by Ken. I laugh out loud every time Kenny boy hammers home just how incurious, self righteous, and stubborn he is with shit like this. Beautiful. Nutty Roux (talk) 14:05, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── I find it somewhat inconceivable that Ken is going nuts over machismo when the Wikipedia says (of Machismo) "[it] may be seen as the product of runaway evolution". Co-inkydinks? I think not. MaxAlex Swimming pool 15:16, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

@ConcernedResident: as soon as I pictured Ken singing into a hairbrush, for some reason I jumped to him tucking it back and dancing in a mirror - "Would you do me? I'd do me. I'd do me so hard." Maybe it's just that Ken gives off that level of creepy, or maybe I'm just weird. HoorayForSodomy (talk) 23:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
I'd go with the weird thing. I suspect that mental image is enough to scare a man straight, or make the animal kingdom seem like a good place to look for love. --ConcernedResident omg ponies!!! 23:20, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Can't it be both?--Opcn (talk) 06:33, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Say what you will about Ken, but he's consistently managed to crack me up in the last few days. Röstigraben (talk) 21:55, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Amusingly enough, CP still lacks an actual machismo article.68.147.139.21 (talk) 08:24, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Open source conservatism

Not worth a WIGO, but this stuff reminded me of the awesome success of the "America Speaking Out" website. I guess in five years or so, Andy will be talking about "twitter conservatives" to show off how he's still keeping up with the latest trends. Röstigraben (talk) 21:00, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

RedOpenSource.png
Someone should tell him that open source == communism -- Nx / talk 21:02, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Indeed. Although Bill Gates is a dirty atheist and helps poor people, so... Wisest wisest Phantom! 21:03, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Somewhere, Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds are retching, over and over again. I'd add Eric S. Raymond, but considering what a nutcase he's turned into, I have no idea how he'd respond. MDB (talk) 21:06, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Did Andy 'Nobody is Conservative Unless They Agree with my Insane Ideas, Godspeed' Schlafly just say Conservative values are "decentralized"? The man doesn't ever stop to think does he. YorickIs Joe Biden Eva Braun?
The line about OSCs "rejecting controls on discourse" is even better. Almost sounds like Andy's been reading Foucault and Lukes lately. Röstigraben (talk) 21:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Stallman would be annoyed by the suggestion that he would be into open source and would patiently spend the next half an hour talking our ear off about the importance of free software and how that merely sometimes coincides with "open source" etc zzzzzzzzzzz. So his name should probably be taken out of the WIGO. ESR came up with the application of the term "open source" to software, but wouldn't be much on Andy's theocratic tendencies - David Gerard (talk) 21:52, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
I really liked the line about "rejecting controls on discourse" too, from a man with more control on the discourse in his sphere of influence than mainland china, it was very lol inducing, I'd like to see it woven into the wigo by someone more crafty than I. --Opcn (talk) 00:14, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
A reminder for Conservapedians: Al Gore fucked up by misusing the term "open source"... in 1999. He learned the lesson, as incredible as it may seem.

This is part of Ken's greater attempt never to be wrong, by never saying anything. He makes vague prediction about something that might happen in the future. A lot like that trend forecaster he is in love with. If you read his "articles" they are quotes strung together with a topic sentence that contains the word regards too many times. He is right in that there is no factual in accuracies in his articles, as I am sure those are true quotations. However he manages to string them together into something that emerges overall so misguide that it not even wrong. - π 07:35, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I know this won't make it through your skull but no one is editing CP. You might think your "Anti-..." projects are "gaining traction" but how many people do you have working on them?

The debate is doomed to fail because the topic is too broad.

Apart from NephilimFree's pro-creation, evolution-is-bullshit stance, he has always come across to me as a genuinely polite man in the face of all the crap he receives. I messaged him once wishing him well when he said he was having a shit time of things and even though I'd recently made a video taking the piss out of him he responded kindly, albeit in a highly extended preachy manner with about 4 pages worth of Bible quotes and "proof" of God's existence. That said, he will be no exception to the endless line of creationists who declare victory after debates. SJ Debaser 15:14, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Any good will I had towards Nephy ended when he announced he would automatically delete the comments of and ban any "evolutionist" or "atheist" (really any secular commenter) from commenting on his videos, claiming they are not even worth his time.

Now the entire event is front page Conservapedia news[1]img complete with MA-CHEESE-MO references and delusions of grandeur that the "debate" will somehow be important in the annals of history (or the Internet).

So I was reading a book and I came across this, who does it remind you of?

_____ has been called a paranoiac; at all events, his view of the world is highly personal. Even where he is discussing theoretical matters like 'the state',[...], etc., he seldom persues any logic inherent in the subject matter. He makes the most extraordinary allegations without so much as an attempt to prove them. Often there is no visible connection between one paragraph and the next. the logic is purely psychological; _____ is fighting his persecuters, magnifying his person, creating a dream-world in which he can be an important figure . In more concrete passages he is combating political adversaries in his own movement, but even here the continuity is mystifying, because he never tells us whom he is arguing against, but sets up every political expedient as a universal principle.

Emphasis, Elipsis, and "_____" were mine for effect. It would be unfair and fallacious to compare Andy to this person, but wow that sounds like Andy to me. Lest you think the passage is referring to someone too recent I'm fairly sure it was written in the 1920's. --Opcn (talk) 10:32, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

The number of active editors at Conservapedia reaches a new height - not seen since March 2010 This sentence is just for you, Rob: it's true, but it's not right!

Indeed, there was a greater - and more diverse - number of editors commenting in May 2010 than in April 2010: the overall interest in Conservapedia seems to be rising again, though the influx of Colbert's fans is missing. Nevertheless, the previous month was the May with the least comments and the smallest number of individual editors in the history of Conservapedia:

Two things. One, where is Ken on those charts? He had to have made WAY more edits than anyone else and yet I don't see his name anywhere. And two, I think the reason why there are more editors is because account creation has been enabled more often. For the last few months, account creation has been disabled for the majority of the time. That is all. Keegscee (talk) 18:57, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Larron beat me to publishing again, thieving bastard, but since we're the sciencey wiki we're all in favor of documented reproducibility, right? My software agrees Conservapedia has shown signs of rebounding this last month: more article edits, more edits in general, more users, more new users, drastically more new users who did not end up koeckritzed in spite of making edits, more of everything basically.

I think that he's wrong in one point: Wikipedia is the logical standard by which anyone should judge wiki policies elsewhere - you don't have to follow wikipedia's lead, but you will always measured against it - it's the biggest player around. larronsicut fur in nocte 16:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
I disagree. Wikipedia's policies and modes are geared to what their project is - making an encyclopedia. While some policies would be good ideas almost anywhere, others are not transferable. Also, Wikipedia is not the "first wiki" by a long shot (arguing with someone at the collapsed WP talk box here). It's just the biggest, and, I suppose the only one many people are familiar with. ħumanUser talk:Human 04:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

ConcernedResident omg ponies!!! 09:31, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
And more to the point, while it's true that CP can use whatever standard they like to block users, their blocking is often counter to their own stated policies, which themselves are generally only enforced against those they want to block for other (or no) reasons. And, of course, Terry is always wrong, in general.--WJThomas (talk) 17:00, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Netharian's right.

See, that's what I thought with the initial contest! Hell, I practically designed it as a coronation for him, but then he places a distant third behind Ed and Assfly. No, it ain't over until the obese lesbian sings. There are no pre-ordained winners. DickTurpis (talk) 02:54, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey! Diana Damrau is not a lesbian. Trust me. HoorayForSodomy (talk) 02:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I thought we officially retired Ed from the running, naming him CP's biggest idiot emeritus? The idea was that his idiocy was so great he deserved continued recognition, but that the young upstarts should be allowed a shot at the title now. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 03:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Term limits, eh? Sounds like a good, logical, conservative idea to me. DickTurpis (talk) 03:06, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Should we do the whole round of awards again? It's been what, at least six months? Or are they supposed to be annual? ħumanUser talk:Human 06:11, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Problem is we have so little to choose from now. Rob is here more than CP, TK is just an ass, Ed Poor never shows his face....literally its Jpatt, Andy and Ken. Hell even JacobB is a parodist and/or ass. Acei9 06:14, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
True that. Do any of the homskollars edit there any more, by the way? Is Andy even doing his child abuse for hire routine any more? ħumanUser talk:Human 06:22, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
How about my idea of extending the awards to cover the entire clogosphere? There are many other idiots out there, and they deserve recognition! MARCVS ANTONIVS 09:19, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Thats a good idea dude, posted to the forums. Acei9 09:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Curious banter

What's thisimg about? Seems rather ominous... are Jacob's days numbered? ONE / TALK 08:10, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Amusing how TK uses the equivalent of our "Hi Jinx" template. All I could do was try to come up with anagrams for chocolate malt. ħumanUser talk:Human 08:56, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
A TK vs JacobB/DouglasA battle would be quite epic. Alternatively, it could be a plot to get rid of Jinx once and for all. TK has already tried and failed once. EddyP (talk) 12:18, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I see TK's use of a Jinx hi Jinx! as a put down to ensure Jinx knows his place in the packing order, a little smirk over sysop status or lack of it. Pettiness personified. Bob Soles (talk) 13:12, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I feel sorry for Jinx, he tries so hard to prove his loyalty to Andyism, he so desperately wants in their elite little clubhouse but they just won't let him in. --BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 14:26, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
All that would happen if TK got into a bit of argy-bargy with Douggie and Jakes, is that he'd run to the soopah-soopah seekrit chat room where he gets put in a cage and given a forced enema he hangs out with Andy, Ed, Karajou and maybe Rob - the other sysops aren't worthy. There he'd gripe and snivel like the cur he is, until Andy de-sysopped them. He might need Ed to help stick the knife in. --PsyGremlin話しなさい 17:15, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Nah, Jacob and Douglas could probably quite easily make a 'look at my bible translation work' appeal. And other than Ed, I think the rest of the sysops would be glad to be rid of TK. And maybe Jacob or Doug are in the the Zeuglodon (I want more sauces dammit!) EddyP (talk) 17:42, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

ShockofGod

Jesus. ShockofGod has made an, David Lyncesque, arthouse film. His own video about a posting about a video the he made himself about machismo which he had previously commented on replete with subliminal, stobe effect. Creepy. Acei9 10:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Everytime that guy says "ma-cheese-mo" my skin crawls. It's like nails on a chalkboard. SJ Debaser 10:39, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Christ on an Easter stick, that video was utterly incompetent. Basically he reads Ken's borken news post three times. And, dude, ever proof your work before uploading? Changing the refresh rate so it doesn't conflict with your crappy cam might help. Mah-cheese-homo indeed. ħumanUser talk:Human 10:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Why bother filming your computer screen in the first place? He could've just done a voice-over to a screencap... --Sid (talk) 10:56, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Because that way you wouldn't get the oh-so-necessary pointing-at-the-sentences-with-a-pen editorial technique. SJ Debaser 11:14, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Otherwise there'd be no flickering screen strobe to wear down your resistance. Acei9 11:23, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
A screencap would still, um, be on his computer screen. What I like is how much he lurves and kisses Ken. ħumanUser talk:Human 11:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I can't bring myself to watch this retard for more than about a minute. (He doesn't get on the highway at the end of this one, does he?) I do love how this is turning into another one of those "ShockofGod makes a video, CP mentions the video in their news section, SoG makes a video about his mention on CP, CP mentions the video mentioning CP, SoG makes a video showing CP mentioning his video about CP" mobius strips. I hope this one goes a good dozen cycles. DickTurpis (talk) 12:16, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
In layman terms, it is a Circle Jerk. I wonder if that makes them feel they have more MA-CHEESE-MO? --BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 12:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
They're just making it TASTEE FOR THE LAYDEEZ!!! --Kels (talk) 14:39, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Does Matt Berry do the voice of the volcano? DickTurpis (talk) 15:03, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
