 * Yes im the Laurelai, no i dont want to talk about it. --Laurelai (talk) 21:19, 25 May 2014 (UTC
 * It's kind of like old news by this point. (Although now my opinion of Femilisk has lowered at Mach 3). --|₹Λ¥$€₦₦ [[image:Red rose 02 -.jpg.svg|12px]] A single piece of bread is just an open-face universe sandwich 21:57, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

 * I see somebody forgot their manners! 22:26, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * (EC) Oh noes! A person who has all the inherent lovability, charm and importance of an excised genital wart has called me "pond scum"! My feelings are hurt! --|₹Λ¥$€₦₦ [[image:Red rose 02 -.jpg.svg|12px]] Here we are now, entertain us 22:28, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

I'll bite...
Who is "THE Laurelai," and why does Laureli's presence here create a mild buzzing sound? Father Vivian O&#39;Blivion (talk) 22:52, 25 May 2014 (UTC)


 * As i said, i dont want to talk about it. nor do i want anyone else to. Its traumatic and triggering to speak about things that have happened to me and id prefer to just get back to improving the wiki on trans related articles if thats ok. --Laurelai (talk) 22:55, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * That is absolutely fine by me. I'll make you a sysop to make the work easier. Father Vivian O&#39;Blivion (talk) 22:56, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * PS: RE: "received unsolicited harassment from a sysop" -- is there a specific post above that offended? Father Vivian O&#39;Blivion (talk) 23:01, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Offended? Hardly im just being cute on my page.--Laurelai (talk) 23:14, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk pages...
...are communal property and may not be deleted willy-nilly. Sorry. Father Vivian O&#39;Blivion (talk) 23:24, 25 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Well I didn't know what else to do, if i wanted to be subject to peoples hatred id go outside in public.--Laurelai (talk) 23:29, 25 May 2014 (UTC)


 * What's the best way to stop people posting stuff about her she doesn't want to see, e.g., doxxing?  23:33, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Tell me which specific edits are problematic and I'll oversight them. Father Vivian O&#39;Blivion (talk) 23:35, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't see any IRL info there, but I deleted it nonetheless. Father Vivian O&#39;Blivion (talk) 23:54, 25 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I didn't click, but I know the context of this and it definitely does involve doxxing. Thanks. 23:56, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Sysop guide
Because the "Father" didn't give the traditional link to you, here it is: RationalWiki:Sysop guide. I'm not sure how up-to-date it is. Also, nearly everyone here is a sysop.--ZooGuard (talk) 07:04, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Heya
Just saw your impressive work on the transmisogyny page, so I thought I'd stop by and welcome you to the wiki. Which you already have been, of course, but I also wanted to introduce myself as a fellow trans woman on here (I wrote most of the page on transphobia and restrooms) and show my support. Keep up the good fight! :)  08:29, 31 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh hi, nice to meet you.--Laurelai (talk) 16:00, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Intersections
I added a link to your article on the Intersectionality article, does it work? Do you think it should be more prominent, etc? 17:23, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hi, thanks for taking the time to address my ignorance. I want to figure it out without looking like a concern troll or someone just asking questions. Meanwhile, I'm draped with friendly ignorance. MarmotHead (talk) 16:52, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Drama
Mongoose:

As was said to Femilisk - one edit, reverted, does not a sysop make. They don't need a bucket and mop to work on the SJ project. Once they've proven themselves, they can be promoted. Get it?  PsyGremlin undefined 13:50, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Im going to explain this once. Slowly. I got sysop the first day. Before my first edit. Just for saying i was here to contribute. Its handed out like candy. Its even in the sysop guide. You have no authoritative right to make demands of me or any other user. If you have an issue, thats what talk pages are *for*. Discuss it and use your words like a grown up. --Laurelai (talk) 13:57, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Guess what - your sysopship was therefore handed out contrary to the spirit of the wiki, and I am now going to investigate and see what happened and take you and whoever sysopped you to the Chicken Coop. This isn't FB, where the admins run around like little facsists. People are not sysopped just because we want them to be. End of story.  PsyGremlin undefined 14:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Even if Laurelai was made sysop with zero proving herself through edits, since then she has made some useful edits, so has certainly proven herself for demotion now. Nullahnung (talk) 14:16, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * *laps up your tears* --Laurelai (talk) 14:02, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, they pretty much always have been. I've always opped people as long as I think they're not actually insane. There's really very little a MediaWiki sysop can do to break things - David Gerard (talk) 14:06, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds like Psygremlin has a case of the jimmy rustles.--Laurelai (talk) 14:07, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. I wasn't aware I was dealing with a kindergartener. I would have moderated my language otherwise.  PsyGremlin undefined 14:09, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * And David, how many people have you sysopped after 0 or 1 edits? Since when is that the standard on the wiki?  PsyGremlin undefined 14:09, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I typically wait for a few. But the standard is "are they likely to do fucked-up things?" Is there evidence this is happening? Can you show that this claimed problem is, actively being a problem in practice, rather than hypothetically? (Wearing my moderator hat here.) - David Gerard (talk) 14:11, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

IIRC sysopped this user because she expressed something about someone else on the wiki doxxing her or something like that. I forget the exact circumstances, but it seemed like a reasonable move at the time. And what the hell are "jimmy rustles"? Father Vivian O&#39;Blivion (talk) 14:15, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * basically it means his ego got bruised and hes throwing a tantrum. --Laurelai (talk) 14:17, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Is there an etymology? Was there an actual "Jimmy"? Father Vivian O&#39;Blivion (talk) 14:19, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I have no clue why it caught on in the form it has, but its from a child's boxed snack. Has a gorilla on it. --Revolverman (talk) 14:21, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * (EC*5... FUCKING FIVE)It's a mutation from the phrase "having one's jimmies rustled", which I understand is fairly common nowadays (the phrase, I mean, not this mutation). Nullahnung (talk) 14:22, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * "are they likely to do fucked-up things?" - given that Mongoose's response to this has been to post troll comments, that answer is now self-explanatory. And FV- nobody is doxxing anybody on the wiki. And how exactly would sysopping them change that?
 * And since when does making the wiki run properly have anything to do with ego? You need to get off your high horse. Or is that high chair, given your childish comments. Do you always get your knickers in a twist when you don't get your way?  PsyGremlin undefined 14:20, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * And Fv - it's a 4chan meme. Which says a lot about the people who use it, really.  PsyGremlin undefined 14:20, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * PsyGremlin, cry more. Your tears sustain me.--Laurelai (talk) 14:23, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * That Really Rustled My Jimmies afaik it means "that really irritated me". 14:24, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Tch, this is RATIONALwiki! We expect much higher standards of research than that. It's actually from FunnyJunk. - David Gerard (talk) 14:25, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Drink! :D --Laurelai (talk) 14:26, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * oh hello, somebody fucked up - why is Mongoose signing lauralei's name to a post? Looks like we're dealing with a sockpuppet here.  PsyGremlin undefined 14:27, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh hello, you are full of shit. I edited my own comment to add my signature. Bye stupid. --Laurelai (talk) 14:29, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see Mongoose's name anywhere in that Diff Psy. --Revolverman (talk) 14:31, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Mongoose is not Laurelai: I am talking to both right now on chat. 14:32, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * My bad - I mistook the edit summary for the author. I apologise for that. Shit happens.  PsyGremlin undefined 14:34, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * You cant read a diff file and you cant spell my name right half the time and yet you wonder why people ignore you when you bark orders. --Laurelai (talk) 14:37, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * "Apology accepted, PsyGremlin, don't fuck up again." Common decency too much to expect from LoopyLoo, I guess.  PsyGremlin undefined 14:42, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Except I do not accept your apology. You are clearly acting in bad faith. I dont forgive you. Bye. --Laurelai (talk) 14:44, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * And besides, Laurelai has much better hair than I do. Here's a rundown of what has occurred thus far. Pedant gets jimmies rustled. Pedant makes pedantic comment. Target of pedantic comment responds in kind, and really rustles pedant's jimmies. Pedant then makes argumentum ad 4chan and argumentum ad sock with absolutely no evidence to support it. Pedant then tries to lick wounds and make nice after acting in bad faith. Have I missed anything?Mongoose (talk) 14:50, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Besides the fact that you've only posted troll nonsense and still wonder why you're not a sysop? Let's talk bad faith for a moment. You get promoted after one edit, which was reverted, and your response has been to make childish comments. You see where this is going wrong, right? There was no bad faith on my part - outside of your twisted little persecution fantasies. So get over it.  PsyGremlin undefined 14:55, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * And I'm not even upset with the demotion. It's just my nature to throw elbows when one is thrown at me. Is Gremlin angrier about the promotion, the demotion, or that someone got the better of him? If it's the last, he should be used to it by now.Mongoose (talk) 15:39, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Seriously, you need to grow up, because now you're just coming across as sad and pathetic. (PS You're not a sysop, so I guess that negates the last part of your theory, sweetheart.)  PsyGremlin undefined 15:50, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * If you two are going to argue with each other about each other take it to your respective talk pages. --Laurelai (talk) 16:06, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * PsyGremlin, sweetheart? I didn't know you cared! Here's a nice, sloppy kiss. Mwah!Mongoose (talk) 16:08, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Guys, stop. Seriously. Please. This is going nowhere, and its already across 3 talk pages. --Revolverman (talk) 14:45, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't help it if the resident drama queens are sore, because they didn't get their way, and chose to blow it totally out of proportion. All the more tears for me to bathe in.  PsyGremlin undefined 14:50, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

For the record:

I moved the talk page thing to the coop because drama containment is kind of the coop's purpose. |₹Λ¥$€₦₦  Never got enough hugs as a kid 15:39, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Let me just say
Okay, so you don't want to talk about it. But if you are the Lauralai from LulzSec, thank you immensely, and if you ever need anything, just tell me. I may not be able to help you or even find someone who can, but if I can do you a favor, I will. Rand0 (talk) 03:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Well thank you but thats a part of my life i have moved on from, but if you want to discuss hot pepper farming or raising chickens im your girl. --Laurelai (talk) 12:14, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
