Talk page revert war with Human, LANCB and trolling

It's not exactly inspiring of confidence that you're trolling the day after you LANCB, and you abuse your server access to make your LANCB meaningless in the first place.

Why should you have server access at all if you're just as much of a troll as MarcusCicero?

The Rationalwiki reform society has long advocated taking a tougher line on Nx. And I am not a troll.

Oh look. Some kind of cancerous growth has appeared.

I was trolling. But I'm not Nx, and trolling is fine.

Mark Antony (talk)10:01, 19 May 2011
 

I am not a troll. Now please take your personal attacks elsewhere.

I was under the mistaken impression that you were Marc Anthony. I apologize for that.

Then I looked through your contribs. And um.. yeah, you're kind of trolling with Human... getting in a huge raging revert war is trolling... (I have openly admitted that my big revert war on the Community standards page was trolling...)

Also, to note, that if calling a person a troll is a personal attack, then you were making personal attacks on human's Talk page, because you were calling him a troll.

If calling a person a troll is a personal attack, and if all personal attacks can be reverted, does that mean that any edit in which someone calls someone else a troll can be reverted too?

We should stop bandying the troll word around, as if it is something to be ashamed of. Many of histories great figures were trolls; Martin Luther trolled the Catholic Church, as did Galileo, Cicero trolled the Roman Republic, Caligula trolled the Roman Empire, and Winston Churchill trolled the nazis. Have some respect for trolls.

MarcusCicero (talk)12:45, 19 May 2011

And Martin Luther King, Jr. trolled the racists.

Yes, the slope is slippery.

My personal position is that if there is meaningful content to the post beyond a personal attack the personal attack stays in.

I intend to only revert personal comments that have no redeeming values.

IIRC I only called him a troll because he keeps whining about LQT every chance he gets, and it's getting tiresome, but that was on Blue's talk page.

-- Nx / talk15:55, 19 May 2011

And I only called you a troll for engaging in a revert war with Human...

Eira OMTG! The Goat be Praised.16:01, 19 May 2011

He was breaking the rules. I could've demoted and blocked him, but that would've made things worse.

-- Nx / talk16:03, 19 May 2011

And your point in the content of the revert war was so important that you had to get into a revert war?

Honestly, I didn't see much content there in the first place...

Eira OMTG! The Goat be Praised.16:10, 19 May 2011

Yes. And I thought you liked edit wars, they make the place fun or something.

-- Nx / talk16:24, 19 May 2011

Well, they can... I mean, if it's over a joke or something... but when both sides are doing it just because each side is butt hurt... it looks less like fun, and more like kids having a shoving match.

Eira OMTG! The Goat be Praised.16:36, 19 May 2011

You mean like this?

Looks like a joke to me...

Review the actual content then: "Now that RationalWiki is all Serious Business™ these site rules are enforced with an iron fist. If you don't like it, then too fucking bad, this place is no place for fun, anymore!"

Sure it's "butt hurt"... but it's also a joke. I mean, "Serious Business" even has the trademark and everything.

Why can't someone express their "butt hurt" through jokes? Is this site above such petty silliness? Are we to expel the Ministry of Silly Walks?

Hell, the entire CP: namespace is full of butt hurt turned humor.

Eira OMTG! The Goat be Praised.21:35, 19 May 2011

Eira, you forgot one key element. Nx has no sense of humor. Or humour. In English, anyway. !!~!~!!

ħumanUser talk:Human06:38, 20 May 2011

Ah yes, humor being whatever you think is funny.
