Post-vacation thoughts
I got jerked out of my vacation when the recent CP Blog Rush finally caught up with me. Right now, I'm still in a very Zen mindset, so I think I'll keep up my vacation from CP and just semi-lurk here.

It's actually surprising how easy it was to leave the entire CP drama behind me. I've been keeping an eye on CP ever since joining in... March or so, and I never managed to keep up the earlier boycotts. But this time? Bam - no more CP, and that's that. And after a while, I realized that I always gave the place too much credit. It's not that interesting, it's not that funny, it's not that important. I don't feel I missed anything by not going there, and that's a fairly important realization for me. I think the entire vacation was worth the time because it let me reach that insight.

I hope that me staying away from CP and maybe only doing sideline stuff here will allow me to stay productive. It felt great to actually get creative work done again, and I won't sacrifice that for some Lulz. Reading WIGO is still a nice activity (often enough, the summaries here are more than enough to give me CP hilarity without actually exposing me to it directly), though, and I'll see how long I can keep up reading it without clicking anything. :P

Until then, I'll be lurking around here until I get a proper grip again. Then, we'll see where my new niche will be. :)

Update: Okay, I'll occasionally glance at CP again. After all, I need some sort of measurement border for idiocy to put the other idiots in my life in relation to. ;) --Sid 20:11, 8 December 2007 (EST)

Old Stuff
People I have been accused of being (or who have been accused of being me):
 * I have been accused (by "BarfBarrel" and "Raptor" - who, from what I gather, are both TK's socks) of controlling the Conservapedia Column blog. For the log: As of right now, I made ZERO entries and ZERO comments there. The blog belongs to User:AKjeldsen.
 * Some poor guy ("MfD") got (briefly) blocked for being me, among other people. I'm not sure how that works (unless I'm Colin, Icewedge and Jtl), but hey, that's the magic of CP.
 * "BjornBenny" got banned for being me. No idea who the guy is, but I'm certainly not a UK-based lawyer in the Netherlands who plays backgammon with his wife while drinking wine.
 * TK told me in a mail that I'm PFoster now, too. Apparent reasoning: This diff has my name in the left column. Sadly enough, this is not the first time that TK fails at reading simple diffs.

Assorted stuff

 * Range blocking logs have moved to Conservapedia:IP blocks.
 * The brief return - A summary of why I got banned again on CP. Very WTF-ish.
 * Archive 1 and Archive 2 of my old CP talk page
 * Wikipedia or Conservapedia? - Can you guess who said all that about which site?
 * Deleted pages - What articles are considered to be not family-friendly on CP? "Child" and "Family values", for example!
 * Sandbox - What I'm idly working on
