Template talk:MC

Thank You, Tom.

Thank you very much. TheoryOfPractice 00:26, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Is this supposed to bother me? Only an American would fail to see the intent behind that post. And its also interesting to note one moronic sycophant thanking another. MarcusCicero 10:44, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

No, Brits can't see it either.^{I am eating} _& honey^chat 11:02, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not American, FWIW. TheoryOfPractice 13:30, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not supposed to bother you except inasmuch as it reminds you of who you are (which is probably pretty bothersome, I guess). It's just a convenient way to make sure I can easily remind you of the truly sleazy depths to which you have sunk in the past, at those frequent times when you try to hold yourself up as some sort of noble paragon. It's really seldom someone so priggish can be easily and frequently reminded of their scumminess.--Tom Moore^{fiat justitia} 21:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

If you are planning to use this a lot, remember that two wrongs do not make a right. If MarcusCicero does not live up to the standards he set out in Debate:The Rationalwiki Reform Society, that is not a reason to reject the standards. ListenerX^TalkerX 22:02, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

MC fails heavily at adhering to his own standards. Lets poke him with a stick. Ace^{of Spades} 22:17, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I agree, Listener. Thus I am following his advice: "Incidentally, personal insults are not only advisable, but compulsory when someone is being bigoted, behaving irrationally, or resorting to any signs of behaviour at odds with the objectives of the Rationalwiki Reform Society".--Tom Moore^{fiat justitia} 22:18, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

The dude has given up trolling. This template is no longer necessary, so what say we to vaping it? Gooniepunk2010 ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 23:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't care. VapeТy^Talk. 23:27, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

It appears on about 30 pages. What say we leave it & just forget about it? ΨΣΔξΣΓΩΙÐ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 00:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

meh, I don't care either way. Тy^Talk. 00:08, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

That would work, too, I suppose. I just don't think it should be used anymore for troll-baiting and other reasons, so we should replace it with something like a smiley or something (which I will do pending other objections).

If only to make archives make sense, I'd put a line like, "This template was previously used to list reasons for vandal binning MC. It is no longer in use." ^EXTERMINATE 00:21, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I like that thing that Weasel just did. Let's keep it as it is right now. The Goonie Punk ^{Can't sleep, clowns will eat me!} 00:24, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Goon. Just building on your suggestion. Ŵêâŝêîôîď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 00:26, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I mean, I guess I'm a nobody, but he's still a douche. And, correct me if I'm wrong, he still did do all of those things. I don't really care if he's unbinned and given up trolling, it's still of note. He did do all of that.. Quaru^{band - You can't explain that!} 03:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Consensus currently is for the gifs template version. Тy^Talk. 17:08, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Act like I care. Quaru^{band - You can't explain that!} 17:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

See my earlier comment. Тy^Talk. 17:11, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

3 people over the course of an hour is hardly "consensus" I guess if no one else cares, there's not a whole lot I can do... Other than insist I get my way, throw a tantrum, get binned, and return in 6 months apologetically, get everyone to ignore my earlier transgressions, and then continue to be a douche. Quaru^{band - You can't explain that!} 17:16, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I was referring to "meh, I don't care either way" Тy^Talk. 17:18, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't think this should be discarded. Its entire purpose is for just this sort of thing: to easily remind people that he is a troll, has clearly and unambiguously vandalized in the past, and has vowed to do so more subtly in the future.--^talk 20:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I knew I couldn't be the only one who felt that way. Quaru^{band - You can't explain that!} 20:52, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

He is no longer a troll. Blue (pester) 21:17, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

So he claims. For now. "I may pop in from time to time, but at least now you'll know for sure than I'm a fully fledged troll!" Quaru^{band - You can't explain that!} 21:21, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Just because he has now (once again) declared he's done trolling, does not mean that he is telling the truth or that his past should just be tossed into the memory hole. If he acts well, then he won't see this template very often. I think he lost the right not to have his feelings hurt around the time he started deleting pages.--^talk 21:25, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I am merely pointing out that he is currently not a troll; I don't have an issue with keeping this template. But on the other hand, "once a troll, always a troll" is not a very compelling attitude. Blue (is useful) 21:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Whether MC is "still a troll" isn't a very useful discussion, & just gives him more attention when he's not actually doing anything. Let's just leave this template as it is on the pages it appears on & have a quiet moratorium on using it any more until such time as this guy starts stirring up trouble again. Wéáśéĺóíď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 21:54, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

That seems the best course to me.--^talk 00:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Minor Comment

I have been mildly trolling Quaru recently, I must admit. Quaru has to realise that he is the ultimate troll bait... Its just too much fun with him. He stomps and storms and runs around like a drunk in a nunnery. I'll have my fun with him for a while, much like I would with an irritating spider upon my window, before opening the window and releasing him to the wild. Quaru needs to accept the sheer inevitability of this. I think it would be good for Quaru to initiate a period of acceptance.

Quaru should also be priviliged to learn that he is the only user I intend to troll for the forseeable future. MarcusCicero (talk) 00:32, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
