Wigocp.svg This Conservapedia-related article is of largely historical interest and is no longer the focus of RationalWiki today.
Conservapedia (and religious fundamentalism to an extent) was a major focal point in the early history of RationalWiki, but long ago ceased coming up with new ways to appall and amuse.
Our energies are now spent debunking other, fresher examples of pseudoscientific claims, authoritarianism, and deceit.
For RationalWiki's less ancient content, try the Best of RationalWiki.

Not to be confused with Buggler from the Bomberman series.

Bugler (aka Bungler, Bugly or Buggerer) was one of the most charming individuals ever to contribute to Conservapedia, delighting all and sundry with his dry English wit.

Bugler's problem, unfortunately, was that there existed a mass "conspiracy" of old guard Liberal senior administrators, who for some reason, believed he was a parodist of Monty Pythonesque proportions who ridiculed Schlafly and his Schlaflettes on a daily basis. Few have done as much to undermine Conservapedia's "trusworthiness" from the massive wave of wandalism and he was deeply hurt by these allegations. Fortunately (for us), he was promoted to quasi-sysopship on June 2008, meaning that those observant people couldn't harm him anymore.

Indeed, as of January 1st 2009, Bugler outed himself as Conservapedia's foremost parodist. One can wonder what the implications of this can be, considering Ed Poor's constant vouching for him, and Darth Rayment's accurate assessment of his motives. Even of more importance, that Andy allowed a very obvious parodist to thrive, often blocking dissenters because of their accusations of Bugler.

Bugler's tenure as a CP sysop-lite and his subsequent confession were a major blow to the project, comparable to the FBI incident or the Lenski affair. With brilliant simplicity, Bugler proved that Andy is as corrupt as he is a corruptor, by turning a blind eye to every violation of his Commandments as long as the perpetrator kisses the ring.

Enemies[edit]

Bugler's mortal enemy was Philip J. Rayment, even if poor Philip was just making a fool of himself. But Bugler declared war on Philip and dared to suggest his wikicideimg on November 12, 2008 (endorsed by Ed Poor), after Philip expressed his disagreement on the nonsense about Barack Obama being a Muslim:

In view of your treasonable remarks, your time to depart has come. I advocate the merciful option, the equivalent of the bottle of whisky and the service revolver, in recognition of your past service in debunking Evolutionism. Better that than being publicly stripped of adminship and blocked. But, after what you have said, go you must.

Later he insulted little Philip for being Australian. Each calls the other a liar and insists that they personally are truthful.

I have to paraphrase, because you ignore the evidence when it is placed in front of you. I thought it was emus that are native to Australia, not ostriches. Pay attention, friend Philip: you did make that accusation. And, in denying that you have been presented with the evidence, you are lying. You know that I am taking issue with what you said on TK's page; the quote is in the section header; you said, "Bugler, if he's genuine", impugning my good faith and truthfulness. How much clearer do you want it?[1]

He was also a bit (!) down on HelpJazz and wanted him to go. [2] Maybe he sensed that Jazzers and Philip were the only conservapedians not stupid enough to tolerate his lampoonery.

Maybe for the same reasons, he launched full a scale wikiwar against JessicaT for posting her grievances with the dictatorship of several unnamed users (we know who they are and so do you). He was down on her for starting an account here as well. Though Conservapedia states Conservatives are willing to be friends even when others have different politics. How could he overlook that?

Some of his finest parodies[edit]

  • His "proposal" regarding atheists on Conservapedia, and several of the comments made during the ensuing debate
  • Usually, Bugly creates some article to celebrate a particular event, like this one, after Schlafly reinstated the good name of TK.

Blocking[edit]

A disillusioned conservative's opinion of Bugler:

Bugler’s unacceptable behaviour towards other editors includes; repeatedly insulting them (e.g. calling them “idiots”, “maggots” and such), accusing them of dishonesty and deceit, attributing malicious motives to them. Bugler exhibits much disrespect to other editors. In discussion pages Bugler is not so much “often rude” as “rarely polite”. The exception to this is when interacting with other editors that he has apparently identified as “allies” (this “group” seems to have been dubbed the “posse”). Bugler also regularly and openly abuses his blocking rights. Often Bugler uses blocks to censor dissenting opinion, and without warning. Either CP practices ideological blocking or it does not.
[3]

Blocks Bugler suffered[edit]

During his illustrious sysopship, Bugler suffered many blocks. Fox blocked Bugler for being a RationalWiki mole, but was overruled. [4] Each time he took it on the chin and didn't unblock himself. [5] He even blocked himself once for 12 hours when he admitted a block he had administered was unfair. Admitting that, surprising.

As noted above, he was thoroughly purged from Conservapedia. ASchlafly will only tolerate parodists so long as they go along with his every nutty belief and paranoid delusion.

Outing[edit]

When Bugler outed himself as a parodist, he left a subtle clue as to his real identity: the phrase 'fretful porpentine.' Fretfulporpentine edits here. He claims that he is Bugler. Oh, and Iduan.

Block reasons: subtle mockery[edit]

As one of Andrew Schlafly's self-appointed bodyguards, Bugler showed a mastery of subtlety with some of the highlights in his blocks:

Working with others[edit]

Bugler was a real team player. His ability to get along with others in CP was remarkable. Here are some of his encouraging comments that did so much to boost the other editors morale.
