AugustO[edit]
Based on what I see, I suspect that AugustO is a parodist who tries to anger Andy so that we can get some more crazy stuff out of teh fly. Unsigned by BoN— Unsigned, by: 125.178.92.173 / talk / contribs
- Don't think so somehow. AugustO seems too passionate to be a parodist. --DamoHi 04:45, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- As a parodist i can't see what August has really accomplished, all he's done is try and fail to make the articles more factual and make andy look a fool, two things we knew already and could do much easier/funnier than how august goes about it--MikallakiM 04:58, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- As a long-time "troll" of Andy's blog, I don't see AugustO as a parodist. I think he's the type of cat that speaks "truth-to-power", and may appear as a parodist to the uninitiated. Though... I may be wrong, I like the things that he does. --Inquisitor (talk) 07:44, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I see August as a lion in the guise of a man, an impossibly tall hero with long golden hair that flows like a river of silky wheat. Around his broad chest is a cloak made of the skin of the first and last man to cross him, his belt is leather from a dire crocodile he killed with his bare thumbs, and his gonads are the size of grapefruits. He is some kind of uberman that would bring racial purists of all creeds and colours to their knees, crying out their praises, knowing full well that the one true Master Race has been found, and it is AugustO. In short I kind of like the dude and am continually surprised by how well his invulnerability armour is holding up. He is cool. --Sasayaki (talk) 07:57, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- Hard to beat that ^. Anyway, parodist probably isn't the right term, but he doesn't seem to be a good faith editor either. He's fairly intelligent and certainly realizes how ridiculous Conservapedia and Andy are. I suspect AugustO likes poking Andy with a stick just for the hilarious responses and intellectual take-downs. Whether he's been successful at it, though, is another question (personally, I think he's much better than most who have tried). --Night Jaguar (talk) 08:32, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I'm a little bit disappointed that he intends to cut back on editing for lent, a Real Christian Conservative™ would increase the number of contributions....
- BTW: nice touch with the teh fly, dear BON. Is this a clever plan to get Sid to confess that he is August? --larron (talk) 08:40, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- He's not a parodist otherwise he wouldn't be removing parody from articles that hadn't so far been noticed by the usual suspects. Auld Nick (talk) 18:05, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

It goes without saying that the post has been deleted already. Are you still spewing this bullshit, Ken? rpeh •T•C•E• 10:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- What the shit? So now not content with immediately deleting his red telephones so no one can read them, now he's doing them on a blog no one reads. Good show Kendoll. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 11:20, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
"Why are you using the pronoun 'your'?"img I don't really understand this comment from Ken. The only thing I can think of is he means "why are you assuming there's only one of me and that I'm male?" Analyzing such a statement from an English speaker wouldn't support such a conclusion, of course, since "your" covers both genders and plural as well as singular, but as Ken has no first language I stand by it. Whoover (talk) 18:03, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I saw that and was likewise puzzled. I came to the same conclusion as you, namely that Ken can't speak English. rpeh •T•C•E• 18:09, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

- What's even weirder is that in JohanZ's comment, "To be fair Oscar, where else on the internet can you learn all that?" the "you" doesn't even refer to Ken, it refers to OscarO. Could it be that Ken did not approve of what he saw as an impersonal you, referring to humanity in general? Would he have prefered "where else can one learn all that" or "where else can all that be learned"? Naah, he's so vain, he
probably thinks this songdefinitely thinks all comments on the talk page are about him. Spud (talk) 04:52, 21 February 2013 (UTC)- Ken pray's to God that individuals get tossed out of the church he attends, so he's not so proud to think of it as "his church". The correct way to ask is, "Does the church you attend organise any dances?" He's become more humble, at least in matters about "his church". nobsWould you like anchovies on your sub-prime mortgage? 05:11, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- IOW, Ken hears the question about "your church" as "Do you think you are God?" It's not Ken's church, it's God's church. Interesting, Ken still struggle's with confusing himself with God, and has to ask if he's giving that impression. nobsWould you like anchovies on your sub-prime mortgage? 05:41, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

- Yes, "your" can cover both genders and plural as well as singular...BUT the singular church assumes that all these multiple identities attend one church. I think he was trying to obfuscate in his usual ridiculous style, but trying to introduce the wrinkle that not only are their multiple users controlling that account (is there really no Conservapedia rule against sharing an account?) but that they are spread out geographically. Instead of his questioning "your" he should have said, "what do you mean by your church" to continue....oh fuck, I can't believe I'm trying to analyze Ken's idiocy.

People need to see this and know that it came from the pen of Terry Hurlbut[edit]
This is one of the most disgusting smears I've yet seen against the president. It brings together some of the most emotionally charged lies wingnuts tell, but Terry Hurlbut manages to take it farther. He's not just making an off the cuff Godwin. He's really and truly diving deep into attempting to justify why he thinks Obama is the equivalent of a Hitler. This is disturbingly twisted stuff. Hurlbut even sees himself as a sort of Victor Kugler protecting Jews against the advancing US government:
“”I am confident that many of them would come to me to shout a warning, or even to wonder whether, at need, they could take refuge in my home. That is, if they haven’t already “made Aliyah,” i.e., emigrated to Israel. Which I now encourage them to do, for their own safety, while the emigrating is good.
|
Obama deserves the Hitler comparison. He asked for it:
“”Obama asked for the specific Hitler comparison when he severely disrespected the Prime Minister of Israel and suggested they retreat behind the 1949 Armistice Line and consent to the re-division of Jerusalem. So don’t dare claim to speak for the Jews on behalf of Barack Hussein Obama.
|
But of course, he never did anything of the kind. Hurlbut is referring to Obama declining to meet with Netanyahu on short notice during the period of heightened Israeli/Iranian tensions in September 2012 because he wasn't going to be in the same city. He also mentioned the 1967 armistice lines with mutual swaps as a compromise recommendation for peace. It's not as if Israel's conquest beyond the 1949 armistice lines to capture the Gaza Strip and West Bank isn't still a controversial subject, even among some Jews (me included). Compromise with Hamas is within the realm of reasonable, whether or not you agree with the position in general or the substance of this particular suggestion. But this is apparently exactly what Hitler would do.
“”Those Jews whose feelings you dare say I just hurt, remember that first Hitler told them they didn’t need guns, and then told them to board the trains.
|
Right. I'm sure Eastern European Jews were as heavily armed in the 40's as American militia people are now.
I guess it's not surprising that this is where the extreme right is driving the argument. It's a perfect setup for the rapture, or more likely, manipulating credulous believers into believing we're nearing the end times, with Obama conveniently playing the roll of the anti-christ. Kudos to DinsdaleP for handling himself with more composure than most could muster. 19:59, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- So tosser is a hateful, self righteous, and intellectually retarded shitwaffle, who thinks that an uppity nigger with a funny name who vaguely opposes tosser's dogma being president is an equal atrocity to 12 million people being butchered for the crime of being born. Is there anyone even vaguely surprised at this point? this is a man who has openly complained about god not sending his personal enemies to hell and whose fondest dream is to watch the world burn while building his own authoritarian theocracy. He is not, nor has ever been, nor will be anything other than an utter and complete piece of shit Judge HoldenThe Judge Smiles 23:05, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- It's one thing to spout utter shit from their mind to the internet, but he believes his crap so much that he believes it's as bad as Jews being wiped out in WWII that they will come to him for help and shelter. He drove up the crazy cliff and plunged right off into scary territory. To top that off, he has fantasies of "leading" people to independence, be it from this "tyranny" or against the government. Holy moly. NorsemanCyser Melomel 01:31, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Terry really seems to be developing some sort of Messianic complex - if he's not being the post-disaster militia leader (thanks to his generator), then he's leading the Chosen people to safety. Not only that, but he's also the sole arbitrator as to who gets to appear in his beloved Creation Hall of Fame (hint: Old Earth Creationists can fuck right off!). I used to think he was doing a Coulter - deliberately being offensive in order to attract attention - but given that he genuinely seems to believe this shit, I think it's safe to say that Terry's hatred of the Black Man in the White House has finally driven him insane. --PsyGremlinSnakk! 07:38, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Like you, I used to think he was only attention-seeking, but I've come to realise that he really means it. The American hard right wing seems trapped in a feedback loop in which they only listen to each other, only hear one side of any argument and therefore get more and more strident in their rhetoric. It happened in the election, where people like Dick Morris started believing their own idiotic predictions of a Romney victory and it's happening with Chuckarse and Insanitary, where initial claims of Obama being elitist have escalated to the point where he's a gestalt reincarnation of Hitler, Stalin and any other hate figure they can think of. I'd call it "group think", but I don't believe thinking plays much of a role in what Chucky writes. rpeh •T•C•E• 08:04, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Ken's bestest buddies at CMI have condemned a new gay-friendly Bible translation.
Of course, that article links to another article at CMI, which savages the Conservative Bible Project. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 17:00, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- He's spoken out about thinking the mistranslation project is misguided. But he is such an arrogant and disloyal asshole and has such open contempt for Andy, indeed anyone he disagrees with, that he'll use the front page of Andy's own blog to shit talk him while promoting his own interests. Nice. 18:03, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Conservapedia[edit]
- ... is not 'work safe.'
- is far less child friendly than Wikipedia (or even Uncyclopedia and Rationalwiki)
- may well be the subject of more rubber-necking/'what have #they said now#ism than actual influence.
- its actual influence may be negative (an analogue of the joke in which the man on the desert island who built two churches and when asked why on being rescued - 'that one is the one #I don't go to.#'). 171.33.222.26 (talk) 15:53, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know about "less child friendly". It's full of assholes writing asshole things and being assholes in basically every discussion they get involved in, but that doesn't equate to an encyclopaedia that is automatically not child friendly. Although I guess it depends what your definition of "child friendly" is. I wouldn't want a child under my care being exposed to the views and beliefs that CP expresses, but there is a disturbingly large portion of the world who would. X Stickman (talk) 17:06, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't want my child exposed to the gloating cultist who has the most personal of personal attacks for everyone he disagrees with and who gleefully misrepresents the nature of science and ignores or misrepresents contrary evidence, to the extent he's even sophisticated to understand it. It is a very serious problem to have "encyclopedia" articles on important and divisive issues written by a halfwit with a fringe agenda that are locked from any improvement and basically filled with nothing but cherry picked quotes. Pathetic. Can you imagine a young person not having the facility to critically examine the proposition that not being exactly the kind of christian you're supposed to be will make you obese and mentally retarded?

- Well yeah, you say that, but Andy teaches classes of children whose parents have actively chosen to have him as their teacher. My point was really that it's not "not child friendly" in the classic way of having pictures of genitals or whatever, not that it's a great place for children to hang out. X Stickman (talk) 19:39, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Unsurprisingly, this doesn't say anything helpful about anal cancer. I'm sure anyone would be happy to discuss with their children that they can increase their odds of get it by having gay sex and sticking crystal meth up their asses. 22:41, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- While I'm certain that sticking crystal meth up your anus, or any orifice for that matter is not going to end well, I see no reason how being gay will lead to the same result.

Oscars[edit]
I see someone has WIGO'd this already but why does Andy Pandy call Argo, a film about one of Democrat President Jimmy Carter's few decisive actions, conservative while Lincoln, about one of Andy's great icons (he's right, for once), is lieb'rulimg? It's sometimes hard to follow Schlafly's logic, if that's the word I'm looking for. - Cardinal Fang
"a film about one of Democrat President Jimmy Carter's few decisive actions""a film about the time when socialist Canada saved a bunch of Americans, even though Hollywood left most of that part out." Fixed that for you. - PowderSmokeAndLeather- True. (I haven't seen the film, so I've just checked the Canadian bit on an atheist socialist liberal baby-eating wiki. You're quite right.) - Cardinal Fang
- Did something break on this page? --Revolverman
- True. (I haven't seen the film, so I've just checked the Canadian bit on an atheist socialist liberal baby-eating wiki. You're quite right.) - Cardinal Fang
Apparently so. - PowderSmokeAndLeather
- He's probably aiming for a "proven right" thing rather than sticking to whatever flimsy excuses for principles he has. Argo seems likely to win going by the other big awards, though I'd like to know how it's conservative. Lincoln, unlikely, also I would like to know... Basically, how any film outside of Atlas Shrugged and ones about the great achievements of any political figure have any political affiliation. Lincoln you could argue is liberal, but as a liberal I say unto thee that it is SO BORING. Les Mis FTW. But basically as long as Zero Dark Mother Fucking Thirty stays out of it, I really don't give a shit. What is it with Andy and the Oscars, anyway? --I came, I saw, I shat
There, all attributed. Today's lesson is: close your capture tags - David Gerard (talk) 00:00, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
We can speculate as to why in Andy's Wonderland these films are either liberal or conservative, but someone want to burn a sock to ask the pertinent question? Has Andrew Schlafly sat through the complete running time of both Argo and Lincoln? If he says no, we can safely dismiss anything he says and he finally proves that he's nothing but a sheep following talking points that suit him rather than leading and doing the work himself.
For everyone's information, on the movie radio show I guest on, we came out with our support of Argo way back when the nominations came out back in January. We thought Argo deserved it (having seen it unlike Andy) and that Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty were substandard offerings and were only nominated for political reasons. -- Iscariot Andy Schlafly for Congress 2012! 06:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

- Regarding "Lincoln being heavily promoted by the liberal media": since when has News Corporation, whose Fox subsidiary made Lincoln, been liberal??? Andy's just saying that one of his predictions would have been correct if he'd bothered making it before the event (well, before the result was all-but-certain), so whatever happened was what he would have predicted and was therefore conservative™®©. (Are you following at the back of the class?) Cardinal Fang (talk) 17:27, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Never forget that wingnuttery is sustained by paranoid delusions. Andy honestly thinks that when a Democrat watches Argo he's rooting for the Iranian captors, because Andy doesn't and liberals always do the opposite. Everything else follows. Whoover (talk) 21:44, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

- I dunno, maybe it's not leftist leaders, but Latinos? Maybe Andy believes everyone born south of the Rio Grande is really dead and has been replaced by a body double. That's why we can't let these impostors cross the border! Note: whatever you think of Hugo Chávez, he was democratically-elected. --Night Jaguar (talk) 19:02, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Because Andy's a nutter who believes every idiotic thought that flashes through his mind is god-breathed truth.

Because... liberals? --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 19:44, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sure it started out when Castro was in the hospital, Andy probably said something like "He probably died and their just withholding the information to make a transition of power smoother," then, when Castro came out not-dead, someone probably mentioned it non-threateningly to Andy, and he dug in his heels and refused to admit he's wrong because he's a spiteful prick. </run-on sentence> Carlaugust (talk) 20:21, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- ^That's the thing. Thinking Castro died in the hospital and that the Cuban authorities covered it up for a few days isn't a strange thought, it wouldn't surprise me if they had (but they didn't). Saying, "Castro might be dead and they aren't admitting it" isn't a a bizarre claim to make in the first few days prior to images and video appearing. The problem starts when you take "Castro is dead" and turn it into a part of your entire unshakeable world view; a world view in which a single admission of fault brings the whole thing down. Next thing you know, months go by and pictures and video of Castro alive appear and in order for Andy to maintain his world he has to claim they're increasingly complex body doubles. At the very least I'd imagine that in his subconscious mind he would admit, "oops, I was wrong about that." Instead he goes deeper and decides that every sick leftist leader is actually dead. If you consider this, the rest of Andy's bizarre beliefs become clearer. Creationism isn't that much of a stretch if you wont admit that video of a living speaking Castro indicates he is alive, let alone that most people in the world don't think he's dead. --Marlow (talk) 01:04, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

The thing is, communist nations have been known to hide the deaths of the their leaders, so Andy isn't completely pulling this out of his ass. The flaw is they'd hide the deaths for a few days or a week or two at most, not for years, as would be the case if Andy had this right. (And at least for the USSR, the western press would cover rumors that the leader in question was no longer among the living.) It's probably not unreasonable to assume that Cuba will try to hide Castro's death for a short period, to make sure the new leadership is prepared for the turmoil that will happen when he's gone. Of course, when Castro does finally die, Andy will insist he had it right all along. "Today, the lamestream media acknowledged what Conservapedia has known for years..."

Andy Translates[edit]
Andy: That's a fantastic improvement, changing "children of Israel" to the more precise "sons of Israel." Please do correct that wherever you see it. The incorrect switch from "sons" to "children" has the liberal effect of belittling the Bible into a story for children, which is incorrect.img
Andy: This translation is plainly a self-contradiction: "The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman..." "Children" did not make the offering.img
Where to start? 'Children' is obviously meant to be poetic, so there is no contradiction. However, if you were being narrowly literal-minded then "The sons of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman..." wouldn't make sense either. Hell, countries don't produce human offspring. At no time does Andy mention anything about Hebrew language or culture, which would seem to matter here. Things like Noah's ark and the talking donkey are what actually makes the Bible sound like stories for children. --Night Jaguar (talk) 06:24, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- They're called the "children of Israel" because each and every one of them is theoretically the descedent of Israel, aka Jacob. The country was named after the Patriarch. Since Israel is really a kind of title, meaning "wrestled with God"(? it's been a while), there are further implications in it's use as a national name, especially when you take into account things like the Exodus. "The Children of Israel" can literally be interpreted as "the descendents of he/they that wrestled with God". The "people of Israel" is quite a distortion, and I would have expected bible-bashers like those at CP to know that. All that aside, isn't changing the language from the masculine collective to the gender neutral collective a bit... liberal?Sokar (talk) 13:50, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- I'm surprised he didn't claim it was changed to 'children' as a PC move towards gender inclusive language. Or maybe that's more Ed Poor than it is Andy Schlafly.--"Shut up, Brx." 06:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- Andy's latest comes pretty close. Sons implies daughters like "Congressman" implies Michelle Bachmann. The more I observe CP the more I'm convinced that almost everyone there is a parodist and Andy is the only one who doesn't know. The originator of the change, so warmly thanked by Andy, justifies it with, "the use of the word "Bnei" (sons) in the original text supports conservatism, unlike any translation which uses a sex neutral word." In other words, it's conservative to distort a translation that preserves Hebrew's native gender-neutral sense by excluding women from the "Children of Israel." Only Andy thinks like that. Everybody else knows that Andy thinks like that, feeds him this crap and laughs. It's an amazing place. Whoover (talk) 07:36, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Speaking of parodists, a new editor added this gem of incoherence to E=mc2:
E=mc2 Doesn’t Compute because the quantities assigned to units of measurement (seconds, kilometres and kilograms), were randomly chosen by humans and thus cannot validate the tangible energy of a given mass designed in nature. Because random values cannot validate the tangible, the result of E=mc2 is abstract and so meaningless.

Moron More On Breast Cancer[edit]
"The steepest uptick occurred in the most recent era from 2000-2009, during which incidence rose 3.6 percent per year." According to National Right to Life abortion rates have been dropping since 1990. Conclusion: Conservapedia proven right, again. Whoover (talk) 17:00, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

The steepest uptick was between 2000 and 2009; the biggest increase in abortion was between 1973 and 1980 (see links above). Age range showing biggest increase is 29-40 (no significant change in older women). As a sniff-test, look at middle of ranges. Andy should expect the cohort of women who were age 35 in 2005 to have a higher incidence of breast cancer because they had abortions in 1977. When they were 7. You can expand the ranges, one at a time, and see how ludicrous his conclusion is. The group of women who would show increased rates of breast cancer due to the big increase in abortion rates from 1973 to 1980 is precisely the age group that showed no historical change. Why does Andy love headlines but hate facts? Whoover (talk) 22:51, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Wait, say what now?img I thought Christie was on the conservashitlist for saying nice things about Obama and hence costing Romney the presidency, not to mention wanting to take their guns. I can't keep it straight who's a RINO from one minute to the next. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 19:11, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
“”Christie wanders between conservative values and RINO positions. Christie vetoes same-sex marriage bills and other socially liberal legislation. But he has nominated Supreme Court Justices who are not conservative. He pardoned a man who received an absurdly long sentence for peaceful gun possession, but Christie has also been criticized for sometimes supporting of gun control.
On the important abortion issue, Christie is a bit of a PLINO - pro-life in name only. Christie has occasionally espoused pro-life views, but since early 2010 he has done almost nothing for unborn children. The abortion rate in New Jersey remains among the highest in the nation. Still, it is unlikely that Christie would run ads in support of abortion in certain cases, as Romney did in 2012.

In recent times, and I don't know what brought this on, I've been imagining Ken as a character a bit like Captain Planet who is enthusiastically trying to spread a message but ... well nobody really listens.

Ruddager (talk) 11:42, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- I never saw that cartoon, but likening Ken to that character must be doing him a huge favour that he doesn't deserve. Surely Captain Planet's message was about protecting the enviroment. Ken's mssage is that Genesis is true, Darwin was wrong, atheists are fat, atheist women are butch "cold fish", Christian women are gorgeous, being gay is a choice and can be cured, kitties can fly and Ken is a great writer and wonderful dancer who can kick your bum with his martial arts skills. That's not a message anybody should be listening to.--Spud (talk) 13:23, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

It still reminds me of this guy. Whoover (talk) 03:35, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Wow! Andy reads CNAV, and for once, it's not Terry that spammed it on MPR--"Shut up, Brx." 04:02, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- For someone who claims to hate gossip, Andy is certainly familiar with a word that's almost exclusively used with gossip. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 11:29, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey Ken. Perhaps you ought to research how actual human beings communicate with each other before writing fake emailsimg to yourself. That's just embarrassing. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 11:25, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Does she live in Canada Kenny? --Revolverman (talk) 11:34, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- A skeptical man reacts to that with skepticism. "I'm skeptical about the existence of that Christian sweetheart", he says. No, wait. It's obviously utter bollocks and Ken's lying his arse off again. And, at the risk of repeating myself, just because something's boring and depressing doesn't mean it's not true. To which I will add, just because some people perceive something as being irrelevant to their lives doesn't mean it's not true either.--Spud (talk) 11:43, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ken's sweethearts are alive and well and living in an Enid Blyton novel... he has binders full of creationist ladies... seriously, nobody talks like that outside of Ken's head. The campaign must be really going well if he has to make up participants. --PsyGremlinHable! 14:17, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Actually, Ken doesn't claim the message is from his girlfriend, he said its from the girlfriend of a member of the campaign. And he, of course asks, "My dear atheist and evolutionist friends, isn't this the sweetest letter you have ever read?" Well, Ken, no, it's not. Not even close. Not even without knowing what happened to the author. 14:23, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

- I feel sorry for him. I guess he's just a very, very lonely person with a deep need to be loved. StarFish (talk) 14:52, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- I really like the fact that the totally real Christian sweetheart has to tell her one true love the name of her best friend. And her best friend is named "XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX"? That sounds totally made up. (Not to mention the fact that real people refer to "my fifteen year old cousin XXXX's younger brother XXXX" as "my cousin".) Phiwum (talk) 15:41, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ken for your own sake, take this down. It's embarrassing, pathetic and creepy all in one. No-one believes you. StarFish (talk) 15:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm almost tempted to help Ken out by correcting his email. You know, make it seem like real correspondence between friends who have a shared context rather than the worst kind of stilted fanfic exposition. But I know if I help him, we'll just get more fake emails with his awful attempts to sound like a real person. Jesus, Kendoll, please stop this. You're humiliating yourself. Please seek help. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 16:09, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Couldn't agree more Jeeves. I think this is a new low for Ken's mental health (and let's face it there have been a few). I wonder what sort of state of mind it takes to think that this was a good idea. How long before Andy gives it the trim of doom? StarFish (talk) 16:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Good God, I didn't realize that Ken advertised this under "In the news". I mean, sure, we all wonder precisely why the mainstream media hasn't reported on this breaking story, but still... Andy is such a pussy to allow such nonsense on the main page of his "encyclopedia".

He's captured the essence of a joyless asexual relationship centered around ascetic deprivation and prudery. It's the kind of relationship fundies describe as being between a man, a woman, and jesus. Fuck. Email is for business and friendship between a person and the outside world. Email is for unspeakable filth between lovers. This is a man who's obviously never kissed a girl. 19:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Sweetheart, Later, if I'm not busy I'm going to email my cousins[edit]
Yes, my atheist and evolutionist friends, you're powerless to stop the online spread of biblical creationism on the internet in 2013! 00:34, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ugh, this shit is a new low. Really, Ken? REALLY? --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 00:39, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- What's hilarious is that when he makes shit up, it's still unreasonably small. He could make up any fantasy he wants, and what does he come up with? A single girlfriend is emailing a few of her pals and cousins. That's all. Phiwum (talk) 01:46, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ken fantasies you say... So there I was with my best girl Sally out for a nice evening stroll, when we happen upon a vagrant. After asking me for a few greenbacks, I ask him "Say there bub, why don't you use the hands God gave you and earn your own scratch?" He threw his head back and laughed "God!? Har-har! There ain't no God!" He was the lowest of street vermin... an ATHEIST! He went on "And since there ain't no God -that I secretly hate-, I'm gonna just take the money!" It was then that he made a move towards Sally's purse with his grubby paws. I leapt into action and gave him what for. My martial arts training, combined with God's protection, made short work of him. As he lie panting and bleeding in the gutter he looked up and asked "But.. but.. how did you beat me? I'm bigger and stronger. Evolution says I should have won!" And that's when Jesus showed me the way. I told "That was your second mistake, friend; believing in the lie that is evolution. Your first was denying the LORD!" With that, I tossed him my last Question Evolution! tract. --Inquisitor (talk) 01:55, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Karajou[edit]
Is the article below on Karajou accurate? Proxima Centauri (talk) 17:44, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Without citations, it's impossible to know. Where did Karajou was a Petty Officer who, over the course of his career, never rose higher than E6 ranking and was discharged for failing to progress after twenty years. come from? I think that's speculation at best - he's never mentioned his rank.
- If you want a good Karajou quote, showing just how batshit insane he is, I recommend this one, where he talks about the video of the Egyptian riots. His last line of "To me, this is just more evidence - rider or not - that Jesus is coming back with the next few years." Also, if you want to highlight his drawing skills, point to his picture of the sabre-tooth tiger, His cartoons were abysmal. --PsyGremlinSiarad! 18:23, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- In the US forces you can do 20 years and get a life pension. Karajou seems to have done that. The "discharged for failing to progress" bit seems to be made up. SophieWilder 18:51, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've amended the article, thanks. Proxima Centauri (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- I recall the rest of it came from various things he'd said on mailing lists, the wiki, etc. I think he was at one point trying to use his rank to brag/intimidate, thinking others on CP would have no idea that it wasn't that awesome a rank. I do remember military folks being surprised he was that low given his time served. --Kels (talk) 23:10, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- The third sentence is wrong. As I understand it he was never an officer. He may well have been a senior sailor. --Horace (talk) 00:08, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Also, I note that you refer to him as a "soldier" in the second paragraph under the heading "Karajou's Navy Service". That is obviously an error. --Horace (talk) 00:11, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- This is all a bit creepy. Karajou's career in the military should not be the subject of speculation on a random wiki. DamoHi 00:19, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed! Phiwum (talk) 01:09, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

I amended the article again, please note, I didn't write it, I asked you to check it. Perhaps you should check the RationalWiki article on Karajou. Proxima Centauri (talk) 06:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Karajou claims he was
He was military police16 May 2007 00:58:17; "a trained cop" in the military; however I've always wondered how a trained cop doesn't know the difference between civil law and criminal law, as I think both TK & me tried to explain to him 10,000 times over the FBI incident. Or here, he believes "major investigations" - at a federal, state, and international level in this age of sequestration, can be expended with a crank phone call. The man's a parodist on CP's private mailing list. 12:34, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
No Silly Name, AmyPond[edit]
Markman, the guy who's replacing the liberal "children of Israel" and "lamb" (?) with conservative "Sons of Israel" and "sheep" throughout the bible, loves blocking users with "silly names." So I found it a little touching that he welcomed AmyPond personally. Coincidentally, I'm typing this on a laptop whose machine name is AmyPond. All my computers are named for Doctor Who characters. And no, it's not me. Whoover (talk) 19:08, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Considering one of CP's sysop-lites is Douglas Adams, identifying joke names isn't one of their strong suits. That said, Markman is the most obvious of obvious parodists, so anything he does is probably for amusement value. I think even Andy the oblivious might notice he's a parodist after he supported his e=mc^2 madness. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 19:27, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Naah, Markman is serious as cancer. He belongs to an end-of-times pseudo-jewish cult in Israel. Hipocrite (talk) 20:06, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Are you thinking of Bert Schlossberg? MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 23:27, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- It's hard to imagine any serious person arguing that "Sons of Israel, every man and woman" is a better translation than "Children of Israel, every man and woman" because it "supports conservatism." Of course Andy took the bait but it's still hard to imagine a non-Schlafly following that logic. Can changing "lambs in their first year" to "sheep" (ignoring someone's request for an explanation) be anything other than trying to see how ludicrous a "conservative" change Andy will buy? I think Markman will lay low for a bit. Shortly after I busted AmyPond here, people were falling over each other to block Markman's latest friend. Whoover (talk) 00:43, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Andy will forever fall victim to parodists. Above and beyond all of Andy’s other qualities, he's lazy. He fancies himself as an "Idea Man". He's the one who as all of the stellar "insights", and it's up to his lackeys to run around and do all the actual planning, writing, research... you know, the actual work. And honestly, it works out suprisingly well for him. Being a parodist means inserting information into articles that you personally find over-the-top and ridiculous. If Andy sees it as parody, then it gets trimmed and you get banned. Calories expended by Schlafly? Almost nil. Anything Andy doesn't detect as parody is because it's almost certainly what Andy would have written in the first place (if he wasn’t so lazy). Again, effort expended is nil. So in the end, he gets the article he wants without doing much of the actual work. --Inquisitor (talk) 01:21, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- "he gets the article he wants without doing much of the actual work" - Not really a victim then. The 'parodists' keep his site looking busy when otherwise it would be dead - 'useful idiots' as the saying goes.

- I think most of us would like to see CP fail due to it's own homespun foolishness, and that has largely been the case.

- I'm going go disagree with this consensus - slightly. CP has already failed. No Conservative of any prominence has ever had anything to do with CP, so its goal of being a WP-alternative has already died. The most prominent person on the site is Andy and that's only because he's the son of increasingly irrelevant nutjob Phyllis. CP is now fun because it's a perfect expression of group-think and because Andy is so utterly incapable of spotting parodists. rpeh •T•C•E• 20:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Surely 99% of CP's visitors consider it a humor site. That probably holds for editors as well. I honestly don't know about Andy. He seems to know that the traffic to E=mc2 is there for the lulz; why else would he resist all attempts to make it a little saner? I gave up trying to find one single linking site with a positive spin on the article. Do you really think Andy doesn't know that? CP is a resounding success in my opinion. Whoover (talk) 20:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- You have to remember that guys like Andy live in their own little bubble, delineated by the unshakable self-belief of the righteousness of their cause. Andy is no worse in this regard than the hundreds of creationists who had peddled their wares on the Internet over the years. They are true believers, and the more the mockery and torment piles up on them, the greater the belief that what they are doing is right and worthwhile.Tacitus (talk) 22:13, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Damn it Andy, how many times...?[edit]
I usually hate parodists, especially the kind that exploit Andy's fetish for seeing people blocked, but what I hate even more is how Andy never fucking learns. Really, Andyimg? This again? Don't you see what's going on here? Christ on a bike, this must be like the 15th time or something. How many times are you going to get burned by people doing exactly the same thing to curry favour with you? --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 14:26, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Sadly, much like Andy thinks ALL pageviews are good pageviews, he thinks that anybody who agrees wholeheartedly with him, must be good. If you are AndyGood, then you are worthy of defending his project - and therefore all of conservatism - against the liberal hordes. The fact that he still hasn't cottoned on to the fact that this applies to nobody new on his wiki anymore is down to two things: 1) He is so thick it's a wonder he can breathe without instructions and 2) He still believes TK's advice that the rats will do anything to cast suspicion and doubt amongst the CP sysops. Something TK himself did like the master troll he was. PsyGremlinFale! 11:50, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Andy figures WP harasses and blocks users for ideological reasons and trumps up some bullshit excuse for it, so that's how he runs CP. And he'll reward parodists for helping make that point. nobsWould you like anchovies on your sub-prime mortgage? 13:16, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- You come up with some of the weirdest explanations. WP blocks and Andy hates that, so Andy blocks, too, so people can see how WP is bad, and that's why Andy falls for parodists. Phiwum (talk) 14:19, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Rob is right, and you'll see Andy's mentality in Ed Poor as well. They assume that conservatives are persecuted on Wikipedia, so it's only fair that conservatives should get to persecute people back on their own turf. You keep making the mistake that this is a man of moral conviction who is keen on playing the moral high road. He isn't. He's a noble-born lawyer who has lobbied for the widespread use of asbestos,going so far as to blame the destruction of the World Trade Center on the EPA's regulation of Asbestos. His mother is a (female!) lobbyist who argues that spousal rape does not exist, and that the Violence Against Women Act is a conspiracy designed explicitly to allow feminists to harvest money from false accusations of rape and use that money to bribe judges to become pawns of the feminist lobby. This is a sentiment that was passed on to Schlafly himself. Andy doesn't care for the truth, though he assumes that his brand of conservativism is always true. He cares only that his side wins, and he will freely lie and slander and censor if it gets him closer to that objective WilliamR (talk) 07:54, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- You come up with some of the weirdest explanations. WP blocks and Andy hates that, so Andy blocks, too, so people can see how WP is bad, and that's why Andy falls for parodists. Phiwum (talk) 14:19, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Andy figures WP harasses and blocks users for ideological reasons and trumps up some bullshit excuse for it, so that's how he runs CP. And he'll reward parodists for helping make that point. nobsWould you like anchovies on your sub-prime mortgage? 13:16, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Second-tier Liberal American Universities Versus Bulgarian Conservatives[edit]
With all of Andy's looniness, I think his fixation about the IOC dropping wrestling because liberals has flown beneath the radar. I guess that bothers him because he's reminding us of this glorious theory. His ally, Bulgaria has joined the protest. (So have most US programs, and Andy's other ally, Iran, but for some reason Andy has missed that.) BTW, the reason liberals hate wrestling is feminazis. Whoover (talk) 01:58, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Of course, if you actually take about five minutes to learn about the story rather than squawking "political correctness! feminists!", you know that it's actually IOC politics playing out. They were going to drop either wrestling or the modern pentathlon. Everyone expected they'd drop the pentathlon -- after all, wrestling is as old as the ancient Olympics -- but apparently someone on the IOC has personal ties to the pentathlon, so they kept it. It's not a matter of feminism; it's a matter of the IOC being a corrupt old boys network. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 12:42, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
CBP[edit]
Any reason why teh parodists have started translating the king assfly bible?

Jesus of the Qubit[edit]
The bible predicts quantum computing. That's because quantum mechanics is all about chaos, which is what "devil" means.
Anybody have an idea when/why/how Andy decided to conflate the second law of thermodynamics and Heisenberg uncertainty? That seems to be the foundation of his view of physics and it's another of his unique fantasies. Whoover (talk) 16:43, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- I suggested before we should write a Schlafly Physics article based on his misunderstandings/rejections of modern physics. Schlafly Physics seems to be linked very closely to Schlafly Theology. Jesus seems to be a quantum superhero and the devil, Chaos, is his arch-nemesis. --Night Jaguar (talk) 20:35, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Kind of surprising he would embrace quantum mechanics, given its post-Newtonian origins, but then again, he does tend to be consistent in his inconsistencies. There is also the possibility that since Einstein famously dismissed quantum theory with the words "My God does not play dice." this is just another opportunity for him to say "Suck it, Einstein" to the man who supposedly helped usher in the Age of Relativism... or something.Tacitus (talk) 00:53, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Most cranks, like Andy, are attracted to quantum physics. Standard physics has a rude way of telling people that their half-baked ideas are stupid. While the pop-culture version of quantum physics makes anything possible. --Inquisitor (talk) 01:09, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

She's back![edit]
Ken's semi-literate, imaginary lady friend is back again, sending him sweet missives,img written at about 3rd grade level:

This is something Ken signally fails at. Ken cannot understand anyone with a POV different from his own. Everything Ken writes is a reflection of his own mind. He has never shown any empathy with other people, the fact that he hides behind his veil of secrecy shows that he cannot engage with others on a meaningful level. His utter failure with the opposite sex - even lovely, long-haired, creationist ladies - is a result of his lack of understanding of what women want.

Err, that's a crummy thing to notice. So what if Ken's long haired creationist sweetheart is overweight? (well, it does matter because he's a creep for talking such unbelievable shit about people he doesn't know and conflating atheism and obesity on either side of causation, but it says nothing about these people themselves) Lots of people here, people you "know on the internet," are larger-than-average and you like them fine without knowing that. 19:00, 4 March 2013 (UTC)- Sorry about that Norseman.

Ken, you are just so utterly pathetic that it's hard to know whether to laugh or pity you or both. You debate poorly. You are terrible at making coherent points and justifying them. You already had a penchant for lying and making things up, but this "sweetheart" shit is sad. Your messages to Fergus and MDB are sad. And it's sad to see how obsessive you are about gloating and taunting people from your private sanctuary, where you get to issue challenges for people to "debate" someone else when you yourself have been challenged a dozen or more times in the last year and tucked tail like a bitch. Come on out. Any number of us would be delighted to humiliate you in a fair forum, unlike Schlock of god's talkbox. See that reader feed? You see that your multiple attempts to get your sorry arguments and petulant whining straight are all right there? No oversighting, buddy. 01:44, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- My reply to the Kendoll Kollective:
- "Uh, I DID accept the debate offer. Except Viva isn't interested because he thinks the questions are stupid, and Shock bans me instantly every time he finds me in his chatroom. It's kind of hard to debate under those circumstances, as I'm sure you'll understand.
- Here's an idea; why don't YOU debate me? If you're confident that I can't answer your 15 questions it's time to come out of your intellectual bunny hole and prove it.

Eric Kaufman dude[edit]
He keeps popping up, but I cannot seem to find a lot on him. Is he actually respectable? Is Ken just quote mining as usual? 147.138.87.241 (talk) 02:51, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Kaufmann is legit. He wrote this book, which is an interesting (but not completely convincing) suggestion that the inability of fundies to figure out how a condom works will lead to the end of secularisation and a revival of religion. Needless to say, because he's educated and sane, Kaufmann believes this would be a disaster.--Fergus Mason Thruppence I got for selling my coat, tuppence for selling my blanket. If ever I 'list for a soldier again, the Devil shall be my Sergeant. 04:05, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- He may be legit, but then a lot of legit scholars and scientist propose ideas that turn out to be wrong. He might have a point in that in some cases, like the ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Israel, birth rates are very high, and if sustained, will quickly outpace their neighbors, but I am very skeptical about the ability for fundamentalist communities to do this on a scale large enough to more than temporarily affect the demographics of one small region or country.
- The birth rate in the vast majority of Muslim countries has been dropping as they begin to prosper and acquire better access to healthcare and birth control, and there have been studies that show that the birth rates of immigrants from developing countries to Western nations begins to drop as soon as they arrive in their new home, and by the third generation is closing in on the norm for the wider population.
- Secularism is a powerful lure for the young, I just don't see how fundamentalist religious communities, especially in secular nations, can keep their children and grandchildren from defecting in large enough numbers to make a difference in the long run.Tacitus (talk) 04:20, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- And after all, the religious revivals of the Third Great Awakening in the United States had all but disappeared by the 1960s, a mere 50 years later. So perhaps it's just cyclical is all. *shrugs* Granted it took two world wars and embarassing prosperity to get there, but still. 147.138.87.241 (talk) 04:22, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Well, particularly in the case of the United States, the young are defecting from religion at an accelerating rate (currently about 34% of 20-25 year-olds are now classed as "nones"), and I don't see that changing any time soon. Ken might not like it, but I think the odds are good that by the end of this decade, at least half of young adults will decline to identify with a particular religion.Tacitus (talk) 04:28, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed, it's all about the memetics not genetics, you can't win a war of ideas by out-breeding your opponent. However be warned that the US churches could reverse the trend you've focused on because it's not about God really. This generation are slightly more sceptical about the possibility of all-knowing Sky Daddies but they mostly leave the Church because they find its views on homosexuality specifically and social policy generally to be repugnant. That's why so many of them end up counted in non-specifically "spiritual" categories in surveys. They have never worried about the existence of God, it wasn't important to them, but the idea that their friend James is doomed to an eternity of torture because he fantasises about Daniel Craig rather than Bérénice Marlohe or Naomie Harris just repels them, as if the church had started insisting they eat dog faeces in a ritual instead of tiny pieces of bread wafer. Tialaramex (talk) 11:22, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- If US churches did manage to reverse the trend, it would be a remarkable achievement, unique (I believe) in the modern western world. Once the trend away from religion begins (in a free society) then absent any external pressure, like war or natural disaster, it has never, as yet, been reversed. At some point, of course, it'll slow down and stabilize, but really, the USA has only just begun to travel down this road in comparison with other western nations, which is why I am confident there is more to come.Tacitus (talk) 21:41, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, I asked for it...[edit]
I was going back and forth with TerryH about his re-blogging of Bradlee Dean material, because the guy's such an offensive ass that he makes Terry and the regular CNAV crew look reasonable by comparison. At one point he basically says "Since this gets under your skin so much, you'll be getting more of him". Go ahead, I said - it's good for a laugh, and I'm looking forward to seeing who else you invite to the crazy-party.

In this comment, he ascertains from a police training target that a pregnant woman with a gun is (will be?) defending herself against LEOs invading her home without warrant or probable cause.

Karajou uses the freakiest sources...[edit]
- Take a look at the blog that the "joker Obama" image Karajou used in his latest MPR update came from. The blogger is kind of insane, and his posts seem to border on having neo-nazi tendencies. A lot of the blog is dedicated to hatred against African Americans, which is especialy bizarre when you consider the fact that the blogger himself is apparently black.

CS Lewis and Conserervapedia[edit]
Passing thought. In CS Lewsi' book The Last Battle (see the narrative on Wikipedia), the Dwarves when going through the stable door think they are inside the stable rather than into 'the real world' and everything beyond that the other characters find. Could the allegory be applied as an analogy to Conservapedians - they stay within what they perceive to be real rather than 'what is actually to be found' 171.33.222.26 (talk) 16:36, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Not a particularly apt analogy because the Dwarves in The Last Battle are atheists who refuse to believe in the afterlife, even when they have passed into the afterlife. As far as the CP crowd are concerned, we are those Dwarves. Anyway, I think Andy and Ken know they're talking bollocks most of the time. Karajou is just enjoying being a dick and Ed Poor is just enjoying playing with his. Hurlbut seems to have gone way beyond deluded, though.--Spud (talk) 17:19, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
The CP lot refuse to believe they are in a scientifically-explicable world and are content to call what they are given cabbage leaves and stale water (or whatever the dwarves think they are eating - I read the book a long time ago).
Whatever else the CP lot are refusing to think outside the box they have put themselves into. One can be godly and scientific - paraphrasing St Paul 'when I was a child I thought as a child' - the 'explanations' provided in the Bible and elsewhere were the best that those at the time could develop ('you need to create the world first so things can be put on it... and without light nothing grows, so that comes next, animals live on plants, so plants were created first... etc) merged with ethics and philosophy etc: now we have better explanations. 171.33.222.26 (talk) 17:47, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

- I stand by my diagnosis: bipolar crank magnetism. Whoover (talk) 22:55, 28 February 2013 (UTC) Update: I see where the crank himself cops to autism. He still sounds manic to me but I withdraw my diagnosis as his case is much too complicated for me. Whoover (talk) 00:21, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Markman illuminates the meritocracy at Conservapedia perfectly: Kudos! --larron (talk) 23:04, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- I deny all knowledge. Maybe I should finally create an account over there; I've got a good deal more free time now.... PopeBenedictXVI (talk) 23:11, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- Youcan't edit Conservapedia, Josef; you've got a brain. Cardinal Fang (talk) 23:31, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- And what is AugustO's game anyway? He must realize he's in an asylum run by the inmates. His response to Gryfin's raving is poignant in its totally irrelevant appeal to logic. He tries to demonstrate the answer is to be found in dimensional analysis when the question ("random" vs. "tangible") is of another plane. I think he's sincere, but what can he hope to accomplish? Whoover (talk) 00:55, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Give us some more stuff to WIGO. As I said in one of the archives, he seems not to be working in good faith. He's like a psychologist studying lunatical behavior.--Seonookim (talk) 02:37, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, Andy is beginning to sound kind of manic himself. "The fundamental principle of quantum mechanics is that the underlying reality is in random fluctuation, or chaos, until there is intelligent observation of it." Whoover (talk) 03:04, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- That's not his first redefined physical law. Here's one for you, Andy: "In the absence of intelligent design, any web site will eventually resemble Conservapedia." MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 11:37, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Andy is crazy, but he looks real.....unlike AugustO.--Seonookim (talk) 03:08, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- @Whoover: ("random" vs. "tangible"), what does it even mean? For me, this just sound nutsimg. --larron (talk) 07:01, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Nuts, as opposed to manic? It means that Gryfin/Jonathan Grey is off his meds. AugustO knows that. Apparently Andy doesn't. (Actually, the evidence is ambiguous. Andy only restored part of that wonderful edit. I think it got a bit too disconnected from reality even for Andy.) CP at its best. Whoover (talk) 07:17, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Markman is in Israel. [2]. Astute wikipedians should be able to figure out who he is in one guess. Hipocrite (talk) 19:28, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Yer right, he's a bad parodist - ref blocking cp:User:JohnQu, who reverted vandalism, nominated the pure-spam ("An insight to the world of dental care and achieving an oral expert") article for deletion and then got the banhammar for "trolling." Hipocrite (talk) 14:30, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- He's just sworn fealty to Andy, complete with creepy Ob Civis Servator medal. He also seems to specialize in "enforcement," while another userbox declares that liberalism comes from Fascism. (This is the "New Deal inspired by Mussolini" meme.) I say he's trying way too hard. Whoover (talk) 22:45, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

- Oh dear goat, not even andy and his fellow sysops can be taken in by this shiteimg. Andy knows this guy is a parodist but is letting him shit all over his blog. If it weren't andy I would say amazing.Oldusgitus (talk) 22:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- And now the two parodists, dvergne and markman are flashing their wiliesimg at each other. And both are pretending to be the true, righteous, upholders of the cp tradition. Oldusgitus (talk) 15:44, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- As far as the admin is concerned, bullying, contempt, and arbitrary retaliatory blocks are CP tradition. It strikes me from watching Markman that Ken is essentially no different. He is and has been a troll for a number of years and his treatment of CP has only accentuated his pattern. He expresses contempt for Andy, taking advantage of every opportunity to promote his own interests in such a way as to discredit CP to any but .000001% of the population. Were this not CP, Ken would be branded a straight up troll. The very notion of "parodist" is a CP-centric meme that means very little to me. The question is whether someone is disruptive and acts in bad faith. That's Ken to a T. 16:01, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- I LOLed when I saw that his minor contributions weren't adding some more or less helpful category, but adorning dozens of articles with the {{uncited}} template. Ouch. --larron (talk) 19:44, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- Not just dozens, almost literally hundreds of articlesimg. They're all stubs by AlanE, Markman's current target, and he's just systematically going through all Alan's articles and adding the template. That is some pretty dedicated trolling, or monumental pettiness. Probably both. Shakedangle (talk) 20:48, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hahaha the cherry on topimg. Markman is my new favorite parodist. Shakedangle (talk) 21:05, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Admin Blocks[edit]
On the Block Logimg, Markman blocks himself the unblocks himself. I've seen people shortening their blocks to ten minutes. Does anybody know how/why they do that? I'm curious. LM105
- If you have block rights, you see the option to "change block." This allows you to change the parameters of the block. You can switch talk page editing, the user's IP, block length, and other things.--"Shut up, Brx." 18:33, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Now I know why nobody hacks into Andy's account and blocks all the other sysops. LM105 (talk) 00:51, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hacking into andys account would likely lead to removing those sysops rights, not just a block. but you don't because the fuck would be the point?--MikallakiM 02:08, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- That's what I'd probably do, but I've got to learn programming first, which I'll probably never do. LM105 (talk) 02:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- You could remove everyone's rights in 30 seconds from the API. And then Andy could roll the database back. Whoopdiefuckingdoo. 03:14, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- I would think that blocking every IP would have a much greater effect on the site. Although he could just roll the database back, the peons couldn't edit without giving away their IP's -- GhostofTK (talk) 12:16, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- For some reason, the worst about hacking into Andy's account would be finding out what he uses for a password. I know we get to see how crazy he his every day, but I think that information would represent a look into his mind that I would be scared to view. Occasionaluse (talk) 15:01, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- IIRC, TK's passwords were creepy. I agree. I don't want to see what kind of shit Andy says to himself when he's keeping secrets. 19:01, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Coincidentally enough, i was thinking about too. What would someone like Andy use as a password for their ultra-right-wing site? The only thing i can think of is something like "liberalssuck123". (talk to a) Nihilist 19:04, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Andy finally responds to August[edit]
After nearly a month since he last joined the discussion, Andy finally reponds to August's pointed questions... by repeating himself and ignoring all questions. Occasionaluse (talk) 18:07, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- For Andy's "consistency is the hobgoblin of sanity" file: Nobel prizes come up two ways in E=mc2 discussions. No prize has ever been or ever will be awarded for it. And no physicist who expresses doubts about it will ever be awarded a Nobel prize. Whoover (talk) 18:33, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Andy's sole goal in an argument is to erect an impenetrable wall of bullshit. His opponent attempts to tear down that wall. But they will eventually grow tired of having to dig shit out from under their fingernails, so they move on. That's when Andy's self-delusion circuits kick in. See, Andy knows he's full of shit, but his reasoning goes like this "Hmmm, they were unable to defeat my bullshit. The Truth can easily defeat bullshit. They must not have been telling the Truth. Which makes me right! I win!" --Inquisitor (talk) 19:16, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
Has Andy always considered relativity "liberal claptrap" or is that something we can witness him discovering if we go back far enough into his CP contributions? I sort of get the feeling that he initially was just a little skeptical of it at first, and his complete rejection of it is a more recent phenomenon, but I might be basing this on nothing. Anyone know? DickTurpis (talk) 20:14, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think it comes down to Andy being skeptical and asking some inane questions which someone then answers, telling him how he has misunderstood a certain aspect of relativity. As we know Andy can never be wrong and is supremely stubborn so he digs his heels in further and further until his skepticism becomes outright denial. It is a familiar pattern. Acei9 21:18, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Nothing useful has even been built based on the theory of relativity. -- Andy in January, 2007. Phiwum (talk) 21:29, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure that Andy's anti-relativity bullshit goes back to the 20th centry. I have vivid memories of him and his stupid brother trolling sci.physics back around the turn of the century. --Inquisitor (talk) 23:13, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Roger? He's a conservative fundie, but he's a Ph.D mathematician and has evinced impatience with Andy's anti-relativity nuttiness, relativity being something Roger actually understands something about - David Gerard (talk) 23:38, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, Roger. Even though he broadly disagrees with Andy when it comes to Relativity, he was still quite the troll in his own right. Quickly derailing every topic he was in by either injecting pointless and obscure aspects of math and physics in general. Or inserting fundie crap into threads where it didn't belong, in particular. --Inquisitor (talk) 00:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yep. Basically, Roger Schlafly js a dick who, like Andy, isn't immune to just randomly popping off the most outrageously offensive bullshit imaginable against specific groups, whether it's Jews, Native Americans, Muslims. He's not convinced Muslims are offended by images of the prophet. Calling the Trail of Tears immoral is an unsupported opinion. 02:28, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

- It's a very familiar pattern. Another example is when he casually mentioned once that someone from the public did something better than an expert. Now its an incontrovertible principle that the Best Of The Public is better than an expert in every single possible occurrance. He gets talked into defending positions that he never intended and since he sees himself as infallible he can't back down. DamoHi 21:31, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- For all Roger's Andy-bashing on relativity, I do remember him posting somewhere on CP that Einstein was "just a poster boy for relativity." Can't find it now - maybe somebody with better wiki-fu than I can find it. PsyGremlinTal! 06:37, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- Again: Roger thinks that the theory of relativity is correct and therefore Einstein didn't invent it, while Andy thinks that the theory of relativity is false and therefore Einstein did invent it. They don't agree on the theory, but they are both convinced that Einstein was a fraud. --larron (talk) 07:07, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
