- The goat is just a massive in joke. It comes because either a click-bot or some web ring managed to get "Goat" as one of the highest viewed articles on Conservapedia, I think, it was some time ago. ArmondikoVpathetic 09:46, 16 November 2008 (EST)
- The goat origin is an in-joke from pre-history. There is a little more at [RWW but not a lot. Really goats are funny because they are funny.--False Flag 09:52, 16 November 2008 (EST)
- CP links are done like: [[cp:target article name]]. There's more in the Help files (link in "Navigation" on the left.

- Hello Toast. Was your link advice to me? My link was to RWW. And you close parenthesis with one of these ")". (But we all make mistakes) Ho ho. --False Flag 11:48, 16 November 2008 (EST)
- Not to you FF & I never close parentheses at the end of a comment.

- I must warn you: The Goat disapproves of unclosed parentheses. --AKjeldsenCum dissensie 12:01, 16 November 2008 (EST)
- Nonsense! the goats horns represent an unclosed parenthesis (Unless they're the curly type, in which case they represent either an at(@) or ampersand (&). If returning to teh comment, then a closing parenthesis is appropriate, but why waste valuable interweb electrons if not required? this is surely anticonsevational.

I was discussing this with 'User:MagnificentFiend the other day, and retroactively came up with a few good meanings for the 'goat'. There's the obvious devilish quality to it, but I think that it fits best because goats are just so damn annoying. They'll chew up anything (seriously, my then impoverished parents were having their honeymoon in Greece, and having a picnic on some secluded island. A goat came up to them as they were eating and started eating everything - sandwiches, eggshells, and even the plastic picnic basket), all the while giving a malevolent, baleful look out of the corners of their weird, terrifying eyes. --מְתֻרְגְּמָן וִיקִי שְׁלֹום!
- You and MagnificentFiend are clearly both heretics. Turn your reprobate selves in to the Goatquisition immediately. --AKjeldsenCum dissensie 12:45, 16 November 2008 (EST)
