Are you sleeping at night?[edit]
How's fatherhood treating you? PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?. 03:17, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah we have a good system. I sleep pretty well actually. From a science perspective watching my child develop is fascinating. Oh yeah, I love her and all that too. Acei9 03:20, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
How is it possible?[edit]
Okay, I'm gonna be honest here- how the fuck is it that you can be such a fucking douche- and yet so frigging likeable at the same time? I mean, even when you were calling me an attention whore, I was both angry, and yet, at the same time, I was just like "hahaha, that's good ol' Ace for ya". I mean srsly. Why?

Serious question[edit]
Ace, I got a serious question, so bare with me. Assuming the human species is 2,500,000 years old (verses the creation myth of 10,000 years), meaning the human species has 250 times the experience of living than creationists say, why is the human species still so fucking stupid? If the human species has 250 times the experience creationists claim, why haven't they figured out how to feed themselves yet and unemployment still stuck at 8%? The YEC argument seems more plausible in dealing with a host of social and economic maladies. nobsJesus loves you and I love you, but nobody else does. 21:59, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- Indeed, 2,500,000 years of human experience yet there are still people stupid enough to believe in the creation myth and ask asinine, malformed questions like you just asked. Mind boggling. Acei9 22:36, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- You're right. I deal with Christians, idiots, and sinners all day. I forget I'm in the presence of geniuses at RW. You can understand my malformations, hopefully. Sorry. nobsJesus loves you and I love you, but nobody else does. 23:30, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- Apology accepted. Acei9 23:34, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Relevant to your interests.[edit]

and for the gossip record[edit]
Olivia is the reason I left FB. I fully disagree with what your group did. but i fully, totally, completely know why you wanted to do it. She is a smart, educated woman, but in my opinion, she got a bit "queen bee" like, and enjoyed the "olivia will ban you" game, and it just went bad from there. 2-3 months ago, we dealt with the variety of positions (from MRA to just "is this really true") with some measure of discussion. then the injokes began, and it became a giant meme session. Though it is worth noting that even before the whole mess, when discussions about feminism happened on the FB page, they were often the longest, the most well argued discussions at all. So it really does drive people - on all sides. clearly. One tin soldier (talk) 14:52, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. I appreciate it. Acei9 20:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- "Then the injokes began?" ummm what? Injokes did not *begin* 2-3 months ago, more just showed up thanks to some regulars and new users. Olivia wasn't even responsible for most of the injokes to which you are probably alluding (Hobbes, DoomPaul, Jimmies, Stalin, etc), so all it sounds like is you are whining about not being "in" on said injokes. Shout at the sky more old man. OGPUMadKomrade? (talk) 10:41, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- A number of people have either left or expressed distaste for Olivia now. But I bet it is everyone's problem. Can't be that she is a woeful, nasty bitch in the slightest. Acei9 21:18, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

I am looking for evidence for the accusations thrown down to me - namely that I am a misogynist who stalks people in real life. No pone has yet provided a single piece of substantiation.

Ken asked Rob to give you a message, but he will most likely delete it before it is seen[edit]
Message to Ace
RobS,
Please tell Ace that the slow moving godless Kiwis will be no match for what is going to be unleashed upon them in the 21st century (see: New Zealand and obesity and Kicking atheism, agnosticism and evolutionism when they are down. Why its time to crush godlessness like an aluminum can).
Evangelicalism is slowly growing in his country and the 21st century global desecularization will accelerate this matter.
The agnostic professor Eric Kaufmann told his secular neighbors in Australia: "The trends that are happening worldwide inevitably in an age of globalization are going to affect us."[4]
I hope this clarifies things for him. Conservative (talk) 13:09, 2 July 2016 (EDT)
- How lovely. Nothing ever changes in Ken's world. He has been rehashing the same shit since he first popped up at CP. He obviously knows nothing about NZ as NZ has been consistently moving away from organised religion with Christianity now reported in under 50% of the population with a further 1/3 citing "no religion". But Ken will always labour under the same delusions. S'all good with me. Acei9 20:55, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Just a thought[edit]
Hey buddy! It is my understanding that we don't give out either {{welcome}}, {{unwelcome}} or {{meh}} before a new account has made any contributions whatsoever (the conclusions drawn in all three templates being based on "the nature of their initial edits"). Like the headline says above; just a thought - but I am steadfastly under the impression that we wait and see if somebody is a troll vandal before we dish out any template whatsoever. Just saying.

Language usage[edit]
Unless appropriate/amusing/necessary each swearword subtracts 10 points from the validity of any statement, and 50 points from anybody's interest in what you have to say.
Current status - insufficient interest to be insulted by what you say. Anna Livia (talk) 11:32, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- then why the fuck comment? “I’m so uninterested in you I feel the need to remark upon how much I am ignoring you”.Acei9
- Read the first sentence: and paraphrasing a recent quote which was paraphrasing a line from a TV show.
- Do you only know one swearword - and are you aware of 'unfunny vandalism'? Anna Livia (talk) 18:32, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- I don’t watch TV. Swearing on a talk page isn’t vandalism. I’ve been part of RW for 10 years and know what constitutes vandalism. Are you seriously getting all hotheaded over the word fuck? Jesus mutha fucking Christ on a shit wheeled bicycle - are we not adults? Acei9 19:09, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- If you are an adult #behave like one# (or watch the 10 hour film on paint drying).

- Excellent - thank you sir. But wait, is this my beach pistol or is it my bedroom gun? One needs the right tools for the job. Acei9 21:44, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- Swearing is most effective when used sparingly/appropriately/with amusement and a deft hand rather than in a manner that encourages people to bleat 'But I thought this was Rationalwiki!', and which leaves you no way of expressing slight annoyance or 'I am bigly annoyed, so bigly beautifully annoyed it would amaze you.'
- Freedom of speech implies or even requires responsibility of speech (the 'not shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theatre' argument).

- "Unless appropriate/amusing/necessary each swearword subtracts 10 points from the validity of any statement, and 50 points from anybody's interest in what you have to say." Isn't that kind of a variation on the Tone argument? RoninMacbeth (talk) 19:40, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

(reset) To state that 'Excessive/irrelevant/inappropriately used swearwords annoys people and is likely to cause them to disregard the validity of your opinions and/or completely ignore you at best, and indulge in more negative responses of various kinds if they are or become so inclined' is a valid viewpoint (and an adult one as well).

But that's not what you entirely said. You said his swearing made his argument less VALID, which is blatantly false. Can too much swearing make an argument less likely to be listened to? Sure.

- The point is - we all know a range of swearwords and 'words that annoy' but some of us choose not to use them unless we feel it appropriate/necessary - and many people assess the significance and relevance of others by the language used (including grammar and spelling).
- And remember for every person who suggests an alternative way of presenting your ideas that will lead to more influence there will be many more who 'deal with' your remarks by completely ignoring you.

Glad to see you back, old friend![edit]
Pass the beer, mate! By the way, what the fuck is up with this Horsy Sauce, blocking for "Harassment" over a user page someone apparently didn't like. These people have become real candy asses. (Word to the wise, don't revert this comment on Ace's page unless you are Ace, he doesn't like that shit). What a Wonderful World (talk) 12:07, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- It's a long-standing troll who's been banned infinitely. He has a very recognizable style, usually making some offensive but not on its own bannable comment about making girls cry. He's vandalized pages and made tons of harassing statements towards users on this site. Blocking was more to keep him from continuing that than for just the rude userpage. Σπριγγίνα (ομιλία) (συνεισφορές) @ 01:04, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Spriggina You don't understand. In the hey-day of the old guard, RationalWiki didn't block anybody, hence the existence of the vandal bin. If someone was an "unfunny vandal," they would be put in the bin where they could continue to engage the community but they couldn't go around blanking pages in mass or writing "CONSERVAPEDIA RULZ" on a hundred pages because they were limited to one edit every 20 minutes (but alternating between proxy IPs was a good way to circumvent that). Us Conservapedians, along with User:Marcus Cicero and User:Ex-Troll Cheerleader (who, unknown to them, was invited to mess with RationalWiki by me as an alternative to disrupting Wikipedia, and actually I used to participate in some of that sockpuppet shenanigans with her on this site), were the trolls of the day, and unlike the current leaders of this site who get offended over vandalism, the old guard would just mock us and laugh at us. I think someone even called Susan the C-word at one point, and she was like "please, is that supposed to upset me?" It wasn't uncommon for trolls to become sysops; I was a sysop, Ex-Troll was a sysop, User:TK was a sysop, and Marcus even became a moderator. So when you say "OMG, harassment," I'm pretty sure Ace just rolls his eyes and thinks you are a candy ass. By the way, you and @GrammarCommie are free to believe that I am that Elvis guy all you want, but I assure you if I were going to mock someone I wouldn't pick the very fundamentalist Christian denomination (Independent Baptist) that I am part of to mock like he does. This is actually what I've been up to on RationalWiki recently, which you can see is in the same network range as 71.208.106.249, my current IP. Not to bad for a politically conservative, religiously fundamentalist Conservapedian, eh? I was aiming to make the edits conform to the culture of the site. What a Wonderful World (talk) 02:01, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Some users have discussed LANCBing over the sexual statements and threats he's made as well, and with RW being pretty small we can't exactly afford to lose all of the people who have been attacked.

A few months back, we had some drama regarding a user purporting to be a cheerleader, a sock of whom (according to the "sock"'s story, at least) had been being a bit disruptive, calling for genocide etc. I figured it was the troll mentioned earlier spinning fake stories, but considering the cheerleader part and her userpage seeming to coincide with this troll's timeline suggested that could've been ETC.

Though they did say something about suggesting RW instead of WP for vandalism, so this troll is likely pretty knowledgeable about ETC or actually was the same person. If she was only trying to disrupt elections, the former is probably the case. Σπριγγίνα (ομιλία) (συνεισφορές) @ 02:50, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oh her, Aside from the minor spat with her she was actually kind of amusing. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 02:51, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Ex-Troll isn't a bad person. Hopefully this isn't considered outing her identity or anything (especially since she discloses this on her Wikipedia page, where she has been unblocked), but she's actually a school teacher up north somewhere. This harasser guy on the other hand needs to seek mental help. What a Wonderful World (talk) 03:06, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed, give me a Mr. Splashypants or a Boaty McBoatface over harassment any day of the week, at least they're funny. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 03:11, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Aha, and that's where harasser's story falls short, as he said that Retired (supposed to be him) was a college student in Illinois, not a schoolteacher. Quite the revealing tale. I wouldn't consider the vague information you put there to be doxxing, FWIW -- "up north" could mean anything depending on where you live. Σπριγγίνα (ομιλία) (συνεισφορές) @ 03:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- (e/c) If it's any consolation, there's a guy on Conservapedia who acts about the same way, telling the sysops to "drop dead" and occasionally posting threats, wonder if it's the same guy? I must say, he is annoying. I have his IP address too because I'm a checkuser, but his ISP won't do anything, despite his activities being blatantly against TOS. Too bad he's not on CenturyLink, Comcast, or Cox. What a Wonderful World (talk) 03:17, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Huh, might be. I think he's more interested in the attention he gets from attacking people, not exactly motivated just by our political views (as this troll was on Wikipedia back in the day as well), so that's definitely a possibility. I got the IP address of the guy from the autoblock log as well as some pages which he had vandalized, but it was a mobile IP, so complaining wouldn't work on our end (and we don't have checkuser to check again, though there was a discussion about it when considering him). Σπριγγίνα (ομιλία) (συνεισφορές) @ 03:25, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- The mobile ISPs are the worst. T-Mobile and the old pre-AT&T merger have both straight up said they have no way of tracing abuse due to carrier grade NATing (law enforcement must love that), and while I'm pretty sure a persistent Conservapedia troll who came here to whine about being reported for abuse a long time ago was in trouble with AT&T over an abuse report I sent, I haven't had much luck reporting AT&T Mobility people lately, probably also due to carrier grade NATing. Embarq, Sprint, Qwest, Comcast, Cox, Time Warner Cable, Level 3 Communications, Telus, Bell Canada, Netzero, OCN Japan, Earthlink, Chunghwa out of Taiwan, British Telecom, and universities and schools in general have generally been the most cooperative for abuse reports, but the abuse has to be really recent (like within the past week). Verizon hardwire used to be, but did a complete 180 in that regard around 2010 (they are now one of the worst). AT&T hardwire I think sometimes responds and sometimes does not. Charter sucks (or at least did before the merger; haven't sent anything to them since then), Optimum sucks, Shaw Cable sucks, HughesNet sucks, PLD in the Phillipines sucks, and pretty much anything out of China sucks. The webhosts will respond, but since most of them are Tor nodes, reporting them is useless. What a Wonderful World (talk) 03:38, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

- True. I will also say, anyone posting threats in the wake Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Santa Fe, and of all of these school shootings and "if you see something, say something" is a dumb ass. Frick, I was afraid I was going to get in trouble for posting made up "dox" on pages two years ago when Pbfreespace3 was threatening to call the cops, posting threats is asking for it. What a Wonderful World (talk) 02:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Spriggina You don't understand. In the hey-day of the old guard, RationalWiki didn't block anybody, hence the existence of the vandal bin. If someone was an "unfunny vandal," they would be put in the bin where they could continue to engage the community but they couldn't go around blanking pages in mass or writing "CONSERVAPEDIA RULZ" on a hundred pages because they were limited to one edit every 20 minutes (but alternating between proxy IPs was a good way to circumvent that). Us Conservapedians, along with User:Marcus Cicero and User:Ex-Troll Cheerleader (who, unknown to them, was invited to mess with RationalWiki by me as an alternative to disrupting Wikipedia, and actually I used to participate in some of that sockpuppet shenanigans with her on this site), were the trolls of the day, and unlike the current leaders of this site who get offended over vandalism, the old guard would just mock us and laugh at us. I think someone even called Susan the C-word at one point, and she was like "please, is that supposed to upset me?" It wasn't uncommon for trolls to become sysops; I was a sysop, Ex-Troll was a sysop, User:TK was a sysop, and Marcus even became a moderator. So when you say "OMG, harassment," I'm pretty sure Ace just rolls his eyes and thinks you are a candy ass. By the way, you and @GrammarCommie are free to believe that I am that Elvis guy all you want, but I assure you if I were going to mock someone I wouldn't pick the very fundamentalist Christian denomination (Independent Baptist) that I am part of to mock like he does. This is actually what I've been up to on RationalWiki recently, which you can see is in the same network range as 71.208.106.249, my current IP. Not to bad for a politically conservative, religiously fundamentalist Conservapedian, eh? I was aiming to make the edits conform to the culture of the site. What a Wonderful World (talk) 02:01, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
I've personally never tried to file an abuse report (only time I've come close was our pet troll, and I couldn't do it because he was on T-Mobile), but I hear the popular home web hosts like CenturyLink/Qwest and Comcast are better on that like you said, and I imagine universities would be good as well due to the diversity/tolerance bent most of them have. Even though I despise basically everything Conservapedia stands for, I do hope that whoever your troll is eases up; nobody should have to deal with death threats, and it's really annoying to try to deal with suppressing harassment and banning trolls when they're dedicated.

- No. I'm moaning about being drawn into Constitutional debates. The last one was " "natural born," which I tried like the plague to avoid. Now it looks like Obama was America's first anchor baby president, which is reason enough to take up the cause of birthright citizenship now. RobSmithMisogynist women made me loose 19:33, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Obama was an anchor baby? His mother was a US citizen you numbnuts. Acei9 21:08, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yahubutt the issue of natural born citizen was never resolved. https://www.conservapedia.com/Natural-born_citizen#Meaning_of_the_term You'll recall the racist sexist homophobes who framed the Constitution didn't consider women human, so they determined citizenship by paternity, and Obama's pawpaw (on paper) was from Kenya. Of course this may explain why Obama leaked his bastard paternity to the communist POS Frank Marshall Davis after he left office.

- Ok, nullifying his presidency might be too much, and litigating his paternity to Frank Marshall Davis probably could be done easily with an exhumation order and DNA test, so granted, we'll call that area "settled law." RobSmithMisogynist women made me loose 00:11, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
