User:Bicycle Wheel/WIGO RW 2012

November

• rw434>Abd opens a mod case about something or another and tl;dr's all over it before AD closes it as a massive waste of time.

October

• rw433>On RWWW, Abd is gone and Tisane is going increasingly off the rails, writing a public letter to his court-appointed counselor complaining that she keeps bringing up his crime during their sessions: "I have been considering is using a firearm to provoke a police officer to fire upon me. Like the first possibility I mentioned, of going to prison, my 'suicide by cop' would have the desired effect of making it so that I would never have to listen to people criticize me for what happened in 2003." Maybe for attention or maybe serious, but definitely disturbing.
• rw432>It might be Summer of 2009 all over again.
• rw431>Suddenly a wild crank appears, slyly hinting that RW should search for a SEO-laden blog claiming that the Santorini eruption just prior to 1600 BCE prompted Pharaoh to let Charlton Heston's people go.
• rw430>Nx forces RW's resident narcissistic frat boy into heart attack territory after he wastes hours provoking a fight from others. The world's tiniest violin plays.
• rw429>Nx and Nutty Roux get into a revert war over Brxbrx's User & Talk Page. (Screenshot of the flooding in RecentChanges.)
• rw428>With David Gerard now promoted to server admin, RW's tech support sees an explosion of activity as he tackles in mere days more than two months worth of unaddressed technical issues.
• rw426>Nx is challenged to a debate [1] Update: And gets a YouTube video made about him.
• rw425>Just a small change
• rw424>"Child erotica" fan Tisane/Leucosticte has imported more than 16,000 articles from RationalWiki to the latest RationalWikiWikiWiki, but may not be around to maintain it as he contemplates violating the terms of his parole.
• rw423>Pibot is resuscitated.
• rw422>Proxima Centauri: "most of my critics haven't got the creative writing skill that I have."

September

• rw421>After much bragging by MarcusCicero that he came out the better man during his email exchanges with AD, AD posts them. Surprise, surprise, MC is confirmed as shallow and cowardly.
• rw420>MarcusCicero: "I can't be an asshole because I have dyslexia. (Also I'm really a genius wordsmith and senior editor at a publishing house that goes suspiciously unnamed).
• rw419>Newcomer and insistent Objectivist Guidedog stirs up a minor tempest by edit warring over the Ayn Rand and Objectivism articles.
• rw418>Like an annoying weed, it's back with an annoying vengeance.
• rw417>And so it ends. Not with a butthurt bang, but with a butthurt whimper.
• rw416>Following some arsehurt explained in detail on the Ludwig von Mises Wiki, a pretender to the throne appears.

August

• rw414>A new user creates an Arabic Version of the Pascals Wager article and a number of Categories. A deletion tag by LArron raises questions about the other Random language articles
• rw413>In the wake of the Tisane affair, someone decides he has nothing better to do than harass people about it, including spending the time making many tiresome troll accounts.
• rw412>In an unprecedented move, AD declares personal rule proposes cutting short the Tisane vote and just banning the fucker. Ace agrees, and AD bans Tisane for one year.
• rw411>Is it possible to write something so distasteful that even the mild-mannered AD will take issue with it and recommend it be burned forever? Yes, yes it is.
• rw410>Wikipedia denizen Douglas Weller discovers an article about himself and finds it not to his liking. What happens next? Update: Well, that was resolved quickly and painlessly.
• rw409>How much of a wanker is Proxima Centauri? Answer: a huge wanker.
• rw408>Two RationalWiki editors from 2009 leave on the same day. One was a mediocre "comedian" who was inexplicably popular. The other one added templates to things.
• rw407>Proxima Centauri, of all people, gets on her high horse (see what I did there?) and tries to embarrass WaitingforGodot about her spelling. After that shot across the bow, she then makes an unrelated post in the bar doubles down with a passive-aggressive blow.

July

• rw406>RationalWiki, a land filled with drama and fruitless gestures towards rulemaking, and complaints about the drama and complaints about the rulemaking. It's nice to know that every now and then, two (totally not-gay) guys can sit down and just talk about penises.
• rw404> Trent busts his ass upgrading the site and it all goes pretty well (there are the usual minor hassles). Most people are grateful for Trent's effort, except for one whiny-assed pencil dick.

• rw401>End Times are near, as Ace McWicked, Blue, WaitingforGodot and Ty all seem to agree on site policy for once.
• rw400>Too many mods? No problem: RNS and DickTurpis will step aside so they have the correct amount without a fuss. Thus, the great fuss began.

• rw397>Refugee leaves, citing dissatisfaction with the moderator system and a fear that Blue will lead RW to a TKish path of development.
• rw396>Ace McWicked drives away VoxHumana. Well, sorta (he ain't quite gone yet).
• rw395>Sock puppets voting in the mod elections. Update: Nx is a wanker.

• rw393>Long time no tl;dr, Abd!
• rw392>The running contest on the most pointless edit wars on the wiki continue, with the same guys arguing. [2]

• rw388>Nutty Roux claims to be Marcus
• rw387>Yes, Raga Man is UHM. Like anyone thought it was otherwise. (Oh, and something else about RationalWiki not being a "community," but who can be bothered to read that far?)
• rw386>Human, being slightly upset by the Nutty Roux dust-up, calls AD a "time-wasting cunt" and says he's "proud to be barely acquainted" with WaitingforGodot, then condescendingly nitpicks her spelling.
• rw385>Proxima Centauri's paranoia reaches its logical conclusion: WaitingforGodot is a secret Christian!

• rw380>Armondikov goes batshit insane all Scott Pakin for a minute.
• rw379>Not so fast: Human's blanking of the article rating template is quietly reverted by Tmtoulouse. Will this be the end of the matter? Update: It's not. Classic Human: revert and assert yourself as the final authority on the matter.
• rw378>the Great Deconservapediafication continues with Trent proposing the removal of the CP(and fun/recipe) portals and Sterile proposing removing everything but main from the default search offerings.
• rw377>Just when you thought the Great Deconservapediafication was over...
• rw376>Bootmii decides to Unilatterally recreate several of the recently Deleted CP namespace articles; citing personal enjoyment.
