Are those dildos? And why are you dropping this on me, again? Thanks for playing! ħuman 02:22, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Something to laugh at

This stupidity. As Stephanie Miller said a few days ago, "The only people who want Sarah Palin to run for president are those who've been living under a rock for a decade and liberals." The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 06:29, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh fuck laughing for the seventh replay! We should transcribe this illiteracy to her article. And the stupidity. FUCK Thank you Goonz! ħuman 06:44, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I love it when SP has that has moments. Her voice slows down as she realises she has no idea what she's talking about, then speeds suddenly up as she takes a wild guess & runs with it. Wëäŝëïöïď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 13:27, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

ShooTag

(→History: and who cares? $30k worth of this silliness is worth $zero)

Sure - or, as I calculated on my blog, in material terms maybe a hundred bucks or so at most. But the real monetary value of their 'donation' is explicitly not the point. Like everything else Energetic Solutions does, it's all about smoke & mirrors. That generous $30k looks darn fine on press releases. Anaglyph (talk) 06:41, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it would, if it had any "real world" value. But thanks. A hundred bucks? Aren't they just blank credit cards? ħuman 08:08, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Cutting them a modicum of slack. A few cents for the cards, a penny or two for the ink. The fact is that they offer a 'recycling program' for the cruddy things anyway so for all I know they're just using second-hand issue. In which case you're right - $zero. Point is that it's irrelevant - it's just the publicity they care about. It's all about the headline on their site.

Yes, I got that. We should mock them more for it. ħuman 08:22, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm all for mocking. 122.107.244.140 (talk) 08:29, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello 122.x.x.x, I don't think we've met. My name is 168.x.x.x or something like that. How are you today? ħuman 08:31, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah yeah. Stupid auto log out crap...Anaglyph (talk) 08:32, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Can't you turn that off? Like check the "remember me" box"? Not that it matters. ħuman 08:34, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

I run an app that delegates all my secure passwords and remembers them in its smart but tiny brain. Thus, I remember ONE very tricky 16 digit password and it wrangles some hundreds of individual other ones. Super secure. Only problem is that it 'conveniently' ignores the 'remember this computer' checkbox in some kind of random way. Thus, I can be fine for a couple hours doing stuff and then 'pfft' I get logged out without knowing it. Annoying, but not as annoying as having to remember a dictionary's worth of baffling ascii strings.Anaglyph (talk) 08:40, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

I came up with a great way of creating an uncrackable yet easy to remember password. Never used it, though. ħuman 08:48, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Rollback

Once again you are using rollback to revert edits that are not clearly vandalism. And in addition to removing the parts that you believe are "bad writing", you're removing uncontroversial and useful additions such as wikilinks. Please be more careful. -- Nx / talk 12:50, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

OMG I am so sorry! Thanks for fixing the one of twenty awful edits I fixed that I did so badly. ħuman 02:48, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Minnesota's very own, home-grown nuttery

If you think teabagger videos are funny and/or disturbing, you ain't seen nothing yet. Here's a sample of some extreme nuttery homegrown here in the state of Minnesota. Enjoy and/or throw up. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 07:19, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

I WNAT MY BIRANS BAKC! ħuman 07:54, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

More interestingly, though, was that the Repubs had him give a prayer at the legislature.... the day they voted on an anti-gay marriage amendment nonetheless.

When was that recorded? The lady seems unaware that Minnesota's own Supreme Court struck down Minnesota's sodomy law in 2001, so it is not even there in an unenforceable capacity. ListenerX^TalkerX 01:06, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

archive

Probably should let people reply to you before you archive, or at least give them a minute to read your posts.--User:Brxbrx/sig 05:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Shut up I archived your case as well you idiot and don't tell me what to do until you've been here a year or two. Also you are wrong, I didn't archive any threads with recent comments by me. So, hey guess what? Fuck off, troll. You really are useless, you know that? ħuman 05:11, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I think Human was right to archive the two cases, which had come to their natural conclusions. ListenerX^TalkerX 05:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you LX, that's what I thought. I would never archive an active Coop complaint. ħuman 05:14, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

??? chillax max. You archived Ace McWicked's case, even though you'd just commented there. I was momentarily frustrated because I was caught in an edit conflict responding to your comment. I could not care less if my cooping is present or not. Most of my wikidrama is garishly displayed all over the place. I really don't see how this particular comment managed to attract so much venom out of you.--User:Brxbrx/sig 05:20, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

You chill, idiot. I edited it yesterday, and there is a big long thread tailing out into nothing after that. Tell you what. You stop being a drama whore and shut the fuck up. Oh, answer to your last question, because you are an uninformed idiot who injects their ill-informed opinion into everything on recent changes. Take a step back, kid. You add very little of value here, I am sorry to say that so bluntly, but it's true. That stupid election page you put up? Where are the links to what mods are and can do and how many there will be, etc.? You are just a hyperactive drama whore. ħuman 05:25, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

This conversation is about to go badly downhill, inevitably ending in comparisons to Hitler, and hurt feelings all around. Stop now. Step away from the keyboard. Go pet a jerboa, or milk a goat.

ListenerX^TalkerX 05:27, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

It started off that way. But thanks for the intervention. ħuman 05:28, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

okay then... see this edit, made mere minutes before you archived the section. I was just saying that if you're going to comment, you should let it sit for a bit so people can reply or at least see it. Now: how am I the drama whore? Who erupted into a profanity filled rant over an innocuous comment?--User:Brxbrx/sig 05:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

OMIGOD IM SORRY. ħuman 05:36, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I should note that I'm rather thick, and often unable to distinguish sarcasm from sincerity.--User:Brxbrx/sig 05:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I can't wait for Nx to show up. Ace ^{of Spades} 06:23, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm probably only pestering you, but I am still confused. Did you actually apologize for this unfortuante misunderstanding or am I still an uninformed stupid idiot troll kid (at least solely in the context of this discussion- our other grievances would remain up for review even if I were absolved here).--User:Brxbrx/sig 18:08, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Apologize? Don't be silly. He'll just ask his "butt-buddy" to hide the embarrassment -- Nx / talk 06:34, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I was hoping to avoid you coming by to spray more venom, predictable as you are in that regard lately. But you gotta be you. 12:06, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Spraying venom? Me? HAHAHAHAHA. -- Nx / talk 19:34, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I was not trolling, NR. I rarely deliberately troll on this site. I was trying to figure out what's become of this particular conflict.--User:Brxbrx/sig 13:44, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Silly vandalism question

You said on another user's page "There's no need to block anything but true spambots,"... do you know anything about spam bots? (this is for a site unrelated to you guys). if we missed one, and found the spam a few days later, is it likely that particular bot with that particular name would ever log in again? as in, do the people who write this crap, reuse names? or do they just keep randomly generating them... just curious if you know. and if you don't, no biggie! thanks.--En attendant Godot 21:54, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I wish I could help there. I suspect that the writers will re-use names as long as they keep working, but more likely, they will keep using IP addresses as long as they aren't blocked. But really, I don't know. The user formerly known as user:Gooniepunk2010 seemed to have a pretty good handle on the process. ħuman 08:09, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

There's no reason not to block a spambot account. But they'll come back with another username anyway, just make sure you have captchas, and if that's not helping, try a different captcha system. For example, RW and RWW used reCAPTCHA, but RWW was getting way more spam. Then I changed RWW's captcha to a math-based one, and now the spambots are gone. -- Nx / talk 08:27, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, what he said. Thanks, Nx. ħuman 08:29, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Worn out

from cleaning up PC's illiterate droppings. will check back later to see the awesome edits to my watchlist pages the sane and intelligent among you made... ħuman 08:39, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Human is trolling andremoving good stuff. Proxima Centauri (talk) 08:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Human is removing incredibly badly written material. I cut my teeth on the garbage that was your Magdalene laundry article, and you still write just as badly. And add things that are just as stupid. Sorry, but it's true. Your writing style is poor and your idea of good sources is worse. ħuman 08:49, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Moderator nomination

Hey Human. I guess you probably know already, but you're one of the nominees at the RationalWiki:Moderator elections, & haven't yet commented on your nomination. I know you're not happy with how ill-defined the role is at present, but it looks like elections are going ahead anyway, with nominations ending at 2:43am UTC on June 21 for some reason. If you want to stand as a candidate, you should accept before then. Wēāŝēīōīď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 15:01, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I dunno if I accepted in time. Though I doubt I stand an ice cube's chance in hell of being elected. Thanks for the heads-up though! ħuman 07:58, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Since nobody has formally called an end to nominations or confirmed whether the election apparatus is ready to run, I can't see how your accepting now could be a problem. Wẽãšẽĩõĩď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 12:20, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Cool then. In a stupid sort of way, since the election for those who will enforce the rules has no rules. Excellent. ħuman 03:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Impartiality

You are far from impartial, other RationalWikians are noticing that you revert good edits that I make, see here. One thing a moderator needs is to be impartial and I hope RationalWikians will take that into account when they decide how to vote. Also please do not edit when you've been drinking. Proxima Centauri (talk) 07:58, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

One out of ten? Good luck. And I still disagree with that one. You are a poor writer, overall, and tend to dump your latest garbage you found here. Good luck. ħuman 09:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Also, the command to not edit when I have been drinking is interesting. How about I order you to not edit without thinking? ħuman 09:33, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

No comment on Proxima's edits specifically... but I think it is good form, when reverting another editor's edits, to give reasons for doing so (either in edit summary or better yet on talk page), rather than just reverting without comment. Yet you do not seem to be in the habit of giving reasons, rather just reverting and leaving others to guess what your reasons were (and, on those occasions you do give reasons, I've noticed they don't tend to be very informative either). (((Zack Martin)))^™ 09:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, unless said editor has a history of endless illiterate, multiple edits to pages. Kissing the goat's ass gets old, ya know? ħuman 09:41, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I think you need your grammar nazis checked Human... a lot of it doesn't look like illiterate text to me. It's not "encyclopedic" style, but more like a pundit style, like you would see on The Daily Show, or The Colbert Report, but it's still grammatically well formulated. --Eira ^{OMTG! _{The Goat be Praised.}} 10:08, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Human's grammar nazing must be working then, a year ago it would not have been coherent. - π 10:09, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

The substance of your larger edits is usually OK, so there's no reason to throw everything out. But Human has a point in that you also frequently insert sentences that are grammatically incorrect, sound more like direct speech than written material or don't really make sense. I like your additions and sources as far as facts are concerned, but paying a bit more attention to style would be nice. Röstigraben (talk) 15:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Also please do not edit when you've been drinking. That's fucking ridiculous. Ace ^{of Spades} 21:00, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey, bro...

Geez, I'm about as popular as you are on this wiki. You been able to get into CP yet? nobs^{Viva la Revolución!} 01:43, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

How'd you manage that odious position? And, no, but thanks for asking - the message has changed, though, to "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." Is that place still active? ħuman 04:45, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Lesbian image

Someone put it into Category:NSFW so it doesn't show up unless you explicitly enable nsfw images in your preferences. -- Nx / talk 06:36, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Ah, ok, thanks! ħuman 06:38, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, couldn't find such a checkbox, must look again. Did find "Gadgets for bureaucrats" of which we have none though. ħuman 06:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Found it in the link you provided, nevermind. ħuman 06:42, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

You have inspired me

You once told me that you visited the ocean "to feel small." After some contimplation, I realized that, after all these years, the reason that I have a love for outer space and astonomy is simple: because looking up through my telescope at the cosmos makes me feel small since the universe is massive and vast. All I have to say is: Thank you for the inspiration. YOu finally added some resolve to my hobby. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 07:40, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Awe gee shucks thanks. Feeling small and also being a tiny part of a huge thing. Glad my words resonated in some small way! ħuman 04:10, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Nothing I like better than to lay on my back staring at the cosmos and feeling tiny...even better if you some lady polishing your knob at the same time. Word. Ace^{of Spades} 04:17, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Perfection. I did once watch a meteor shower with a friend 200 miles away. We had to align our spines so we could yell "left!" "right!" coherently. ħuman 04:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

First MC....

Then YOU! Followed by the world. Subjugate yourself to your new leaders. Quickly now. Ace^{of Spades} 11:31, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Stop it. Please?

Seriously, Human. Calling people assholes and liars left and right doesn't do anyone much good at all. Cant't we all just get along? P-Foster_{Can't we talk about this, baby?} 04:15, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, when the person in question lies about me on his blog, I gotta say it. OK, you're right, calling Gerwyn an asshole is over the top. He's just a liar. Gerwyn has accused me of financial misfeasance in my role as a trustee with no evidence. ħuman 04:18, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

You know what? his blog has a comments section. That would probably be a better place to address what he blogs about. P-Foster_{Can't we talk about this, baby?} 04:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

I did. The man is attacking my and my friend's position as trustees by suggesting we are mishandling RW funds. That is not just business at his blog, it is a direct attack on me as an editor here. ħuman 04:24, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

And calling him names is helping how, exactly? If you want to drag him before the Coop, it's there for that. If you want the mods to intervene, we're there for that. If you just want to throw mud back, how is that productive? P-Foster_{Can't we talk about this, baby?} 04:26, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

I yield to "asshole". "Liar" is not calling him a name. I should sue the fucker for defamation. Do you understand the nature of his accusations against Eira and I? Fuck the coop, fuck the mods, they can't and won't ever do anything. The man has slandered me and I won't stand for it. ħuman 04:29, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

By the way "left and right" is rather spraying. "Here" and "here" would make more sense. ħuman 04:30, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Both of you shut the fuck up. The concern here is MC being a douche for the last 3 years. Not Huw's problem with Psy nor P-Foster jumping on Huw. This extends beyond our own personal squabbles so, you know, get with the fucking program. Ace^{of Spades} 04:31, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I like my vinegar and water cocktail. It has always made me feel fresher. I guess I couldn't even follow the thread at the mod squad due to all the top level headers. ħuman 05:50, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Actually, what I did - just so we can clarify this for once and for all - is accuse and Eira of being unfit to serve as Trustees, due to your continued lack of judgement and an inability to act properly. I also mentioned that the Trustees are responsible for the finances of the wiki and should people with bad jusgement have that responsibility. Show me exactly where I accused you of "financial misfeasance". Show me. Quote me chapter and verse. Go on. --PsyGremlinPraat! 11:46, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

You dumb fuck, you just did. I'd sue you but you are out of my jurisdiction. Seriously. ħuman 11:48, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

No I didn't. I've questioned your judgement as a Trustee. Where have I accused you of diddling the finances? Come on, I'm waiting. Where have I accused you of financial mismanagement? I haven't and you know it. Your rage in an impotent rage, because you're still mad that I called you out on your bullshit. Admit it. There are no accusations of financial mismanagement against you. Are there? Where have I accused you of financial mismanagement? Of diddling funds? I've said you're not fit to have the Trustees' responsibility dealing with funds and other impirtant matters. There's a difference - get over your rage and admit you were wrong. --PsyGremlinHable! 11:58, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Do you publsih accounts so you can prove everything is OK? If there are published accounts please tell us where we can access the information? Proxima Centauri (talk) 12:02, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Proxima please do not get involved in this there is enough fights going on at the moment. Nobody has accused anyone of taking money and the pseudoaccounts are on the wiki. - π 12:04, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

I await your reply. And apology. --PsyGremlinPraat! 12:23, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

And I await yours. Let calmer minds intervene here. ħuman 08:45, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

BTW, I call the last four years worth it now that the NJ Star Ledger has basically just followed our Andrew Schlafly page as a model and source for their article. Thanks for the support back when we created it in keeping it sourced and snark-free - that's a real vindication. DogP (talk) 23:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

I dunno if I deserve any thanks for that, but maybe, who knows, back in the day, I might have fought the valiant fight to get things right? Nice to see you around again. Thanks, though! ħuman 08:37, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

I first met Susan when she joined RW as a male, being justifiably paranoid about how women are treated in this boy's club we call the internet. After a week or two, she realized we were "not as bad as" and rejoined as her ladylike self. At the time, she and her girlfriend were flooded out of their home, and she mostly edited using a PDA. Using that clumsy device she wrote all our "help" files, and I proofread/copyedited her work for the big screen. There was a slight/extreme overuse of mentions of her favorite cheese, Stilton, but we all let that pass. As time went by, and she and hers slowly got their life back into order, and we gradually found out that she was struggling with cancer. She edited from the hospital. They thought she was in remission. They were wrong, I guess, or maybe she was just bluffing us a bit. We lost her earlier this year. She is the first person I would think of as a "peer" I have lost in this way - in this year of death which I will not elaborate on now. I don't think I am going to like getting older. My parents are still alive. If losing Susan makes me cry so much, over one song she made a Dyslexicon meme of (Ah "Vienna"), what will it be like to lose my parents? What will it be like when I have to get used to burying friends? ħuman 08:10, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

She would kick my ass around the block for such maudlin thoughts. Damn I miss her. ħuman 08:11, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Well said, Human. sterile^talk

Susan made me a sysop because I'd been here a month & hadn't broken anything. At that time (mid-2008) she was definitely one of the big personalities on the wiki, alongside Human, RA, Chaos & a few others. Then there were several LANCB incidents & some fairly transparent sockpuppetry, before Toast arrived. I don't know much of the details about her illness, as I think she didn't often like to talk about it on-wiki & I never had any off-line contact with her. Anyway, she was a big influence on the site & will definitely be missed. Wèàšèìòìď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 19:14, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I added a picture (Shrubbery) to the above gallery, one that she may have created. She even thanked me for using it on my user page. I miss having her around, for sure. Aboriginal Noise ^{Oh, what a lovely tea party!} 02:08, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

They're murdering me

Human, you need to know this. They are preventing me from editing ANYWHERE, even to defend myself in the Coop. You need to act now. I'm scared of what they might do. I am MarcusCicero and the craven fools are finally coming to kill me. 86.44.236.225 (talk) 16:05, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Consensus is to delete. Human's solution was elegant since it's been used a fair amount and was mentioned by several editors on the talkpage. Have a look at the talkpage. 04:50, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

actually consensus is not to delete. Ace^{of Spades} 04:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

That's not what I'm seeing right here. 05:11, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

You are right, I was reading it wrong sorry. But anyways, it all kinda stalled. Ace^{of Spades} 05:12, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

(EC) Actually, the talkpage is inconclusive. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 05:13, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm not seeing what you guys are seeing. I see the votes in favor of deletion and the loose consensus from discussion in favor of deletion or blanking. Blanking is more elegant solution. 05:15, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

I was just taking out the trash in the neatest way I could see. That template pair is mostly used to silence people. Not exactly the RW way to live, is it? ħuman 05:16, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. I, personally, think we should turn the templates into a smiley of some kind. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 05:19, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Might be handy as a "mod only" tool as it is our position to "put the fires out" as it were. Ace^{of Spades} 05:20, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

So... was I right or wrong? If you guys are telling me I'm reading the talk page differently than you I'll come back sober instead of blanking the template and hoping the kiddies don't edit war me. 05:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

You grumpy old fuck

"lame ass authoritarianism"? You grumpy old fuck, go start Humanwiki with your lame ass geocities-esque site design. Jesus you can be a pain. Ace^{of Spades} 09:27, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Lol, you quoted Wired magazine! The tits issue, as I like to fondly call it. ħuman 06:21, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

I have a seriously vintage piece of stereo kit. An old Technics amp and a couple of AWA speakers not to disimilar to these babies. The amp still rocks but I need new speakers but want to keep the casing. Perhaps we should talk. Ace^{of Spades} 07:12, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps we should... you'd be like my 12th antipodean customer. I am big in the antipodes. First step, I think is to get me accurate dimensions of all holes - front and back. Pictures with rulers work well. Feel free to discuss via one@humanspeakers.com. Now I am back to watching Scarface. Even though I know how it ends. ħuman 05:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

You're a twat Ace, honestly. Psygremlin is basically me, except he is friends with PFoster et all and plays his role with much more conviction than I ever could. He is a nasty piece of work and its the people like me and Human are showing him for what he is. Cop on and smell the flowers. 86.47.28.215 (talk) 20:13, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

can you do mahogany or cherry veneers? Occasionaluse (talk) 20:37, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I can do anything. Real wood veneer speakers can be pricey, of course. ħuman 03:29, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

As per the community consensus.....

You are violating it. Dither about it all you like, the fact still remains. So, you know, fucking quit it. Ace^{of Spades} 09:28, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Human can do what he likes. The community decision was retarded and motivated by retarded interests. Human is a free person and entitled to do what he likes with his own userspace. If you weren't such a boring fascist cunt you would see that. 86.44.233.101 (talk) 11:08, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

How so, Ace? I let some amusing BoN stake out a space here. As far as I know, the low IQ reactionaries are going to now block MC for a couple of years so they don't have to face his amusing rants. Ace, let's get serious. Remember your introduction to this community - the hilarious HSTesque rants? Would never fly anywhere else. Your endless frotting and love affair with Nutty? Come on and get over yourself. You are just as much a beneficiary of my and others libertarian/anarchic vision of this site (which used to be held by many others) as the BoN who is using my talk page subpage as a temporary gaff. The people who want to silence others on this site are just dumb fucking cunts and have no idea of this site's history. ħuman 04:56, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

I was not here at the dawn of time, but I have been here a while; and if you look back into site history, you will also happen upon TK, who like MarcusCicero (but unlike Ace) sought to sunder the community through trolling and other tactics. Back then, however, the mob was small enough and the Cabal's camaraderie was strong enough that things could not get so far out of hand. The debate over the Community Standards in my early months, the one that cost us AKjeldsen, was contentious, but peanuts compared to what we have done in recent months. Trolling is what is always has been, but the community has changed since the old days and trolls are now capable of much greater damage. ListenerX^TalkerX 05:38, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Human, your disregard of this community and its decision is almost as bad as your hypocrisy. Your "libertarian/anarchic vision of this site" disappears when you are on the receiving end of criticism and insults. -- Nx / talk 07:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

I ain't going to get draw into "What Ace did/does" because fact is, community made it's decision. It didn't make a decision regarding me, it made a decision regarding MC. Which you are violating. Ace^{of Spades} 07:58, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

I mean this truly, Human

I think you may have over-reached yourself here. Trying to defend me perhaps isn't the wisest course, not when Foster has dispatched his creatures to deal with you as he sees fit. No, probably better to abandon me, and I'd understand if you did so. I'm feeling really down at the moment, I remember what this site used to be like, unfortunately some people are determined to make it rule defined and boring. 86.44.233.101 (talk) 11:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Whoever you are, why would I abandon my principles just because some people have contrary, small-minded, authoritarian, stifling, censoring views? ħuman 04:58, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

contrary, small-minded, authoritarian, stifling, censoring views? Then fuck off maybe? If you can't handle disagreement and if you can't respect that the tide turned out of your favour why not get it over with or fucking deal with it? Ace^{of Spades} 08:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Are you abusing the free speech zone that is an RW user talk page as a mod, or just as an idiot? And you interfere in an editor's talk page despite their clearly stated desire not to have contents deleted? Really? Geez, kids, how hard is it for you just to leave people alone? What fucking rule am I breaking by leaving a comment by an IP on my talk page, despite all the censors' efforts?

Jebus on an easter stick, what has this place turned into? I don't even have the patience to check RC or my watchlist to see what's going on when this is the orange box "welcome" I get for popping back in for a minute or two. ħuman 08:13, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

What fucking rule am I breaking by leaving a comment by an IP on my talk page, despite all the censors' efforts? The rule that talk pages are community property. -- Nx / talk 08:17, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

There was a vote about this. The community voted not to allow anyone to decide arbitrarily against the community decision to block and revert a specific troll site-wide. I'm sorry that you disagree.

It's not a question of it being "hard," it's just a question of not permitting you to unilaterally over-rule a vote.--^talk 08:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

You ever thought there might be a reason he's doing it? --193.65.150.15 (talk) 08:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

I imagine he thinks that RW comprises a certain set of anarchic morals, all about defying authority and unbridled speech. And that's a totally valid view that he had free rein to try to convince people of, during the week-long votes on this matter. But a vote having been taken, he's not free to just ignore the result because he didn't like it, like a petulant child.--^talk 09:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

So now "community property" means people can delete comments on my talk page against my will? That is so fucked up it's not even funny. Seriously? Is this the New Order? That's insane. The community is now "protecting" me from things they find offensive that do not bother me? ħuman 05:03, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Blocked at Conservapedia

You've been blocked at Conservapedia by Karajou because the annoymous proxy server you were using was used by someone else to vandalize, and Karajou thought you were responsible. As a general rule of thumb, we don't allow the use of annoymous proxy servers at Conservapedia, so there's nothing I can do really to defend you on this one.
I personally distrust Rat-Wikians in general, but I was actually hoping you'd changed your ways. It's sad to see you throw away a second chance just because you're too coward to reveal your IP address. DMorris2 (talk) 18:29, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I believe that Human was using a proxy because he was 403'd from even seeing the site. If I'm right, who's the coward now? B♭maj7 Define "talk." Define "page." 18:30, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

B flat is correct. RobS unblocked my user name, but Andrew never responded to my email request to unblock my IP from even being able to load CP. Fuck Karajou, he's just an asshole and we all know it, and fuck Andrew, he's incompetent. I appreciate that you tried, RobS. If Karajerk had a fucking brain cell to spare he'd have looked at the edits I made via tor. Seriously, he's only blocking me because he is an asshole who doesn't care about quality on CP, but only about his destructive powers. By the way, every edit I made via tor took 12 tries, since he had blocked most of the IPs back in 2008. Thanks for the update, DM. ħuman 05:06, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Sanctuary

Human, I have posted something User talk:Human/The Sanctuary Of MarcusCicero, He who refuses to bend the knee to tyrants, he who refuses to obey the whims of megalomaniacs. I know it may be beyond your power to protect these few words, this castle of reason, but hold you must. Stand firm, and allow the onrush of tyrants and henchmen to break upon your shield of liberty. Do this for a time, and the bards will sing your name for an eternity. Thank you, noble brother. 83.71.18.198 (talk) 22:04, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

You are hereby granted a safe haven in my user talk space. If you post inflammatory - ie, sexist, racist, or homophobic content - I will not defend you. But otherwise you are welcome to use my talk space to post your defences and other commentary. Anyone who deletes your comments to my user talk space, for the time being, will be blocked for 48 hours. And can you use shorter titles before you remind me of Kendoll? ħuman 03:32, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

And I'm going to undo your abusive blocks of people who have been acting in accordance with the community's decision and if you continue I'm going to bring you to the coop for abusing your blocking powers.

You can have your little troll playground, but it's now hidden from recent changes so MC can leave the rest of the wiki alone. -- Nx / talk 05:46, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I like you too Ace. I also like MC, and I dislike the fascists on this site who want to silence him. Whoever 86... is. ħuman 11:41, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah but there was this community vote and MC lost yet for some reason you think that doesn't count and continue to do what Human wants and call everyone fascists because they don't agree with you. You remind me of my two year old niece. Ace^{of Spades} 12:33, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I have decided to use the word "structuralists" as a more neutral tag for those who crave structure and rules, and stand in opposition to those of us who have been labeled "libertarians". I didn't let MarcusCicero violate the ban (which I find to be very much out of sync with the RW ethos, but whatever). Someone asked for a sanctuary and I granted it on strict terms. ħuman 01:22, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Structuralism has more associations with dismantling structure. "Legalism" is the word you are looking for, I think. ListenerX^TalkerX 01:27, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

You granted sanctuary? Sorry to be rude, Human, but who the fuck do you think you are? Some sort of independent country, able to do whatever he pleases within the wiki on a whim with no regard to the community's decisions or the moderators judgments or the wiki's rules? You are as subject to the rules and decrees of the community as anyone else, and it's high time you started to act like it instead of pissing around and ignoring any rules you don't like just because you think you have some sort of status that makes you immune to criticism or repercussions? For chrissakes, Human, get a grip. --The Emperor _{Kneel before Zod!} 01:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

How about you give this a go. When someone disagrees with you... talk about something else. The weather perhaps. Its not a good idea to FORCE them to think like you, which is effectively what you are demanding of Human. This website was a great place once, where open-ness was cherished, now all of you cunts want everyone to think and act the same.

Maybe if Human's favored "Wild West" proposal goes through for the talk-page policy, some of us can have a good old-fashioned edit war over one of MarcusCicero's edits. Edit wars are getting mighty rare around here these days. ListenerX^TalkerX 04:52, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

(If it is then I'm too nerdy). Always incite a revolt. If your research mix is right then any stolen tech is of only marginal value. LowKey (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

I get that some people disagree with the community vote. But it was a full vote, and it reached a decision. Now this juvenile stuff... I mean, what's the endgame here? MC posts something, it's reverted. Human reposts it under his own sig, it's reverted as an obvious stunt. Now you repost it somewhat altered. It's obviously the same message, so you're obviously saying, "Fuck you guys, I don't care what everyone votes." And if we leave it be, then just as obviously it means that community votes don't really matter very much. I guess I could delete it, but the next version would just be a slightly more altered version, and it's hard to see where the line would be.

So... I mean, what do you want? Do you just think that community votes shouldn't matter? I'm honestly puzzled at where you're going with this, and at a loss with how to deal with it.--^talk 04:51, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

ListenerX^TalkerX 04:52, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Part of the reason, AD, that I got tired of the mod business was because people like Human and Maratrean only went with a community decision when it suited. I agree with you on this matter but it isn't working - so instead of working myself into a lather...I am just going to be Ace. Ace^ace 04:54, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

I have a problem with the mods in general, cause everyone has such a different view of what they should be doing, what rules should and should not be, and what it even means to have a "community vote". granted, you did it, it's done - but for heaven's sake it is so out of control it is only going to breed more insubordnation, cause we aren't here to follow mods like they are gods. and AD, that is what some of you have been doing - even if you don't see it that way yourself.En attendant Godot 04:56, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

And that's fine and lovable. I just wish you could find ways to do it that didn't revolve around hilarious it is to cause drama. The group of users who deliberately cause it out of some sort of childish anarchism then leads to the other group that just complains about how everything is about drama now. But there's not really much fucking choice, is there? If you're going to keep causing drama like this and keep deliberately pissing around like a lunatic child who just discovered his dangly bits, then either the people who are bored with it either have to intervene or just throw up our hands and admit that votes don't matter and we can just be Encyclopedia Dramatica. But no, we have to be the fucking bad guys and fodder for the Fun Nannies to cluck over how obsessed we are with the rules and with where people are talking. Awesome.--^talk 05:01, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

The reality is, you don't have to do anything. nothing posted by human, stupid or not, rules or not, is harming anything. There is a point where you have to look at the bigger picture. what are the rules for, and what does enforcing them accomplish. If you can show me that enforcing rules actually makes anything better, i'll support you 100%. but all I see are Mods who don't know if they should act, mod who (like me if you all were stupid enough to elect me) won't act, and mods who over act. why? cause no one knows or has any idea what the actual goals are with all these regulations. I'm sorry you think it's whining, but it's more about saying that there is something seriously wrong with what's going on. En attendant Godot 05:07, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

(EC) Well, the goal of the vote was to stop Human from retaining MC's edits on his page as a sanctuary, as far as I can see. You don't think it's harming anyone. That's fine... I don't think MC's words have some magical totemic power to murder children in their cribs, either. But when everyone takes a vote to stop Human from retaining MC's edits to his page, and Human proceeds to retain MC's edits to his page, then that's kind a of a problem. It'd actually the very problem we were trying to avoid, these nattering drama-fits.

I know nothing is going to really hang on this. If Human gets to just ignore a vote, it won't be the end of the world. And we do let things slide all the time (all the time). But when it's so blatant and pissy, like smashing an ice cream cone into the carpet because SUSIE GOT CHOCOLATE AND THAT'S MY FAVORITE, then it's just a big "fuck you" to everyone who voted. As in: Fuck you guys. What are you going to do, come and police my talk page like a school proctor? You'd just look fucking ridiculous. And eventually you'll throw up your hands and give up, because if I can just keep doing it you'll start looking authoritarian and like a bully. So fuck the vote, I'm going to do what I want.

I don't know. Obviously I've already said here I'm not going to keep deleting it if it keeps going this way. I guess I'm throwing up my hands and giving up on this one. Just me being the bad guy again, thinking that when everyone agrees on something, it actually should matter.--^talk 05:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

sighs... i don't think you are "being the bad guy", i just thing that the "picking carefully the battles you chose to fight" is something this wiki would be wise to remember. The people here are always going to be cats - you can try to herd them, join them, or just pet them. likely, a bit of each at any given time.En attendant Godot 05:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, of course I'm the bad guy. I'm the asshole who has to come in here and say, "Hey you kids, get off the grass!" I don't want to start the AD Pity Party (yes I am) - it's a stupid fucking rule, because all rules and votes about talk page nonsense are stupid. But this whole goddamn conversation is me picking my battle. I didn't revert Ace or ban Human. I'm not calling anyone the vitriolic names that are on the tip of my tongue. I'm trying to explain my point of view, the merit of my position, and why I think this whole nonsense here was wrong. And I'm trying to explain to you that I am fully aware of just how fucking ridiculous it is, but that I engage it anyway because there doesn't seem to be any alternative. If I ignore edit wars, then there's not much point to being in a position that's intended to cut them short. If that means I appear like a self-indulgent rulesmonger intent on sucking all the fun out of the place, that's fine. I don't like Encyclopedia Dramatica.--^talk 05:39, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

The edit that was oversighted on your talk page was posted to a dozen more talk pages. It wasn't a message directed to you. If you click the suppression log link in the message that says "Details can be found in the suppression log." when you try to view the diff, you'll see that it says inappropriate personal information as the reason for deletion.

Human is an obstructionist in the classic sense: as punishment for disagreeing with him, he demands you fill out your forms in triplicate and submit it within 24 hours.

Oh noez. And what happens if I don't? -- Nx / talk 07:58, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

(EC)Hey Human, the message oversighted from your talk page contained primarily (1) the (alleged) real name of the cheerleader troll, and her (alleged) hometown (2) the cell phone number of a very prominent member of the RW community (the later is already on Google, but who knows if it is real or not). There were a few other bits, but that was I think the two main bits of personal info (also some other female name, which I can't remember, but which is allegedly underage); and a few defamatory accusations. (((Zack Martin)))^™ 08:00, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh and BTW, the message was allegedly from Mr. Cicero, but who can tell if it was actually him, or rather some impostor. (((Zack Martin)))^™ 08:04, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

I have to agree with everyone else here, Human. The most important part was that they were releasing Trent's alleged cellphone number (I was, in fact, the one who began rev. deleting that incident), so this is a circumstance where I think the suspicion that usually follows rev. delete incidents is unwarranted. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 10:39, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Um, you do realise it's available via Google? (Conservaleaks courtesy of Karajou). Another example of why Conservaleaks is really really bad. And oversighting that is pretty pointless, if he's concerned he should get a new phone number. (The cheerleader troll's alleged real name is a bit different, since that name is not as much public knowledge as Trent's phone details are.) (((Zack Martin)))^™ 10:47, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Regardless, it was a leak of private information. And, no, I don't care if Trent's cell # publicly available on google. Unless Trent himself posts that sort of information on RationalWiki, I consider it as priave and personal as my own cellphone number. Otherwise, it's just creepy stalking. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 10:50, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

You do realise that anyone who doesn't know, and wants to know, should be able to work it out just by reading this page? (((Zack Martin)))^™ 10:55, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Good for them. But, that still doesn't change the fact that RationalWiki shouldn't allow personal information about people to be posted here without their permission. If some lifeless moron wants to stalk Trent, let them waste their own damn time. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 10:58, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Trent's phone number is public, it was used in the domain name registration. Still, I consider it private information, at least in the context of the comments that were oversighted. -- Nx / talk 11:13, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. Once again, unless that sort of "public information" is posted here by the person whose phone number it is, it should be considered private. If you google some other people on this Wiki, you can find their phone numbers, adresses, etc. But, still, even though it's public information, we as a site shouldn't be party yo posting it against the persons' consent. It's unethical and wrong at best and could send us down a legal slippry slope at worst. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 11:18, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

I dunno if you'll ever read this or care that I posted it, but no matter. I was just over at WikiSynergy looking at all the deleted revisions of our little battle with Green goose. Man, talk about times of olde. We had fucking Bob M, Theemperor, Sterile, and all sorts of other RW people over at WikiSynergy ruffling their feathers. Those were the days, my friend. Back when we proved that the only response that the pseudoscientists had for our critical thinking was to insult us as pseudoskeptics and then, in the case of Green goose, go on a rampage threatening anything and every one he could....

This comment was made in the saloon bar moments ago. It will be censored, as this is what this website has now become. However, your election heralds the dawn of a new age of reason, compassion, and mobocratic restoration. You have a duty to ensure that this message is heard all around this website. You were elected on the basis of overthrowing the autocratic regime which has assumed control of this website. Help me do this, and future generations will sing of you as their great saviour.

Human,

You were elected on the basis of the enaction of revolutionary change. You easily topped the poll, followed closely by the other mobocratic candidates. Top reactionaries, such as Psygremlin and Nx were nowhere near getting elected. The regime will not release the true final tally as they fear the inevitable consequences of such information. The masses demand the restoration of the mobocracy. I once prophesised that a day would come where you would return, and herald the dawn of the new era. That day has now come. Dismantle the secret police, march the reactionaries to the gallows, and forge a new Rationalwiki, one defined by reason, compassion, and liberty! You must act now, else all will be lost.

The dust had barely settled on the election results when I received this nasty missive from Blue (1/6/12):

“” Far be it from me to rake over old coals, but I would like to give you a bit of a heads-up: unlike bureaucratship, you aren't allowed to remove my or anyone else's moderator bit unless sanctioned by a community vote. We also have a set of voting standards and general procedures for votes that seek to change policy or deal with penalization of users, including removal of moderator rights. Also, as a moderator you have the power to make it impossible for non-moderators to give a user sysop rights, through the user group called "sysoprevoke." The use of this group is completely up in the air and the subject of much recent tension, so be wary of using it without community approval. In a more general sense, there is a great amount of disagreement as to what the function of moderators is at all, so please try to tread carefully. Things you might have done without thinking as a bureaucrat might be perceived as abuse coming from a moderator. The fact that I am telling you this, and the fact that this is private, are for the sole purpose of avoiding HCM.

I replied (1/7/12) "Put that on my talkpage if you think it useful. I prefer to work in public, when dealing with strangers.

I find most of it to be bureaucratic nonsense."

And for my trouble then received this further reassurance of good faith (emphasis in original; 1/8/12):

“” It's not in anybody's interest to start arguments, especially not in public. Old coals and all that. But you'll respond the same way - cavalier dismissal and hand-waving - if I write in good faith or bad faith, thoughtfully or irrationally. I truly hope to never have to interact with you again, but I know eventually we'll have a confrontation. Do you want that confrontation to lead to another May 2011? RationalWiki might just not survive another conflagration of that magnitude. But who am I, a scoliotic, gender dysphoric, mildly autistic teenager, to tell someone such as you to watch your step? Nobody. So go forth and be merry, safe in the knowledge that I will sooner retire, scramble my password and prevent my computer from accessing rationalwiki.org than see myself forced into a confrontation that might cripple everything I've worked for and the community I have enjoyed for nearly four years. Or you could just step down and let ListenerX become a moderator. But I doubt you've read this far. You rarely do.

Since I posted this email which I own - note that "privacy" is given up when a letter is sent - Blue has removed it from my talk page and even "protected" my talk page.

Anyone who messes with this object of discussion - this complete attack on me and even threat to go "May 2011" on me - has no honesty to call upon. This person called on me, two days after election, to resign! I present this communication as an example - for the second time - of how some people think it is ok to "run" this wiki. ħuman 03:58, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Since I posted this email which I own No, you don't note that "privacy" is given up when a letter is sent That's news to me, and probably a lot of people. You should put up a warning on your user page or talk page to inform anyone who might potentially email you that you might publish their email to avoid misunderstandings like this in the future -- Nx / talk 05:13, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Nx, please stop being obtuse, you are smarter than that. Did you even consider the content of what Blue wrote? When you send a letter to someone, it becomes their property, at least in the US, where I reside. Also, the only reason I posted this was that the content is 100% about the wiki, how it is run, and what being a "moderator" means. Apparently, to Blue, it means sending nasty, threatening emails to newly-elected moderators. ħuman 03:23, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

As usual, Nx is talking complete bullshit. Posting a link that discusses copyright in general and addresses none of the specifics is no use to anyone.

It does, you're just too busy frothing at the mouth to scroll down to number seven. this Rationalwiki article breaks the law. What has Nx forgotten? Everyone together: fair use. Human said that once the email is sent, it is his property, and he can do whatever he wants with it. That is not true. Fair use doesn't change that. -- Nx / talk 23:46, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I'd think it'd follow wiretapping laws, which, in most jurisdictions, require one party consent (i.e. I can tape a conversation to which I am party without your consent). It's interesting that in email, there should technically be no expectation of privacy (if you're transferring it in plain text), however, there seems to be. Completely irrelevant, but what feels right to me is that one party consent should apply, even if the other party requests otherwise. Occasionaluse (talk) 00:08, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Showing up after a sustained period of limited activity...

...and making smug, snarky comments about "the children" and "the noobs" (aka community members who have done some good work around here) is hardly a "nice guy" thing to do. Not liking something new is okay. Taking a self-superior attitude and crapping all over stuff that has been around for months and that good people have put good work into is much less so. P-Foster Talk "Watched Mad Men thinking it was supposed to be a sit-com. Found it disappointing." 03:58, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Do you have any idea why my activity has been "limited"? Do you? Being attacked within 5 minutes every time I show up and edit takes a lot of the fun out of a wiki. Taking advice or commentary on my behaviour from someone who calls me a "troll" is thin sauce, by the way. Sorry, the professionals are back in town and the junkyard is gonna get cleaned up. Good people putting good work into making high-quality shit that stays around for months is not a valid argument to not criticize it. ħuman 04:27, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Reagan as the best president in US history?

Do you think so? Moonshot926 (talk) 17:57, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Ridiculous question. Reagan was an embarrassment to the 20th century. ħuman 02:32, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

What are your reasons for saying he was not the best?

He saved the world from tyranny and cut the people's taxes. Moonshot926 (talk) 10:59, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Reagan was a hack who read his queue cards. And to the "he cut people's taxes" point: BULLSHIT!!! Yes, he cut the taxes of the rich, but iof you look at the actual, statistical data, he raised taxes on the middle class an poor numerous times. And this is just the start, lest we ignore things like Iran-Contra, his training and funding of the mujihadeen (yes, Reagan is directly responisble for bin Laden), and on and on and on. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 11:06, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

And on the "savng the world from tyranny" point, that is also bullshit. He replaced communistic tyranny in South America with death squads, and allowed the Middle East to fall into the hands of Islamic extremist nutters. Yes, the Soviet Union fell a while he was President, but that was the consequence of the communist regime itself and not of Reagan. And look at just how fucked up he left Latin America. "Saved the world from tyranny" indeed, so long as you are ignorant to what he actually did! The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 11:10, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Well, i would like to correct you because you made a huge errors.

"!!! Yes, he cut the taxes of the rich, but iof you look at the actual, statistical data, he raised taxes on the middle class an poor numerous times"

As a result of ERTA and other tax acts in the 1980s, the top 10% were paying 57.2% of total income taxes by 1988 - up from 48% in 1981[3] - while the bottom 50% of earners share dropped from 7.5% to 5.7% in the same period. The total share borne by middle income earners of the 50th to 95th percentile decreased from 57.5% to 48.7% between 1981 and 1988.[4]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Recovery_Tax_Act_of_1981

The poor were paying LESS share of taxes and the rich were paying MORE share of taxes thanks to Reagan. 24.189.254.24 (talk) 11:25, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

"his training and funding of the mujihadeen (yes, Reagan is directly responisble for bin Laden), and on and on and on."

On July 3, 1979, U.S. President Carter signed a presidential finding authorizing funding for anticommunist guerrillas in Afghanistan.[3] Following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December Operation Storm-333 and installation of a more pro-Soviet president, Babrak Karmal, Carter announced, "The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is the greatest threat to peace since the Second World War".[23]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone

Jimmy Carter started the funding of the Mujahideen. Important detail? 24.189.254.24 (talk) 11:25, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Your statistics compared to mine are flawed. So the rich payed more taxes per capita. THAT'S BECAUSE THEY SAW AN HUGE INFLUX IN THEIR INCOME!!!! Look at the ACTUAL TAX RATES! The rich paid the lowest tax rates in 100 years under Reagan while the actual rates of the middle class and poor went up! If you are going to debate me, make sure you are talking about the same statistics, not strawmen statistics like you threw out. Secondly, under Reagan, support of Mujahadeen activity increased 100 fold. Again, Iran-Contra is a prime example of this and, whether you like it or not, Reagan was 100% responsible for Iran-Contra. And there again, we have the problem of his funding of death squads in Latin America that murdered thousands of civilians, all in the name of "fighting communism." Get your facts straight. The Noisy Orchestra ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 11:32, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

The median family income increased $4,000 under Reagan. The biggest increase in the past 40 years. Also Reagan whipped inflation.

1976 = 5.75%

1977 = 6.50%

1978 = 7.62%

1979 = 11.22%

1980 = 13.58%

1981 = 10.35%

1982 = 6.16%

1983 = 3.22%

1984 = 4.30%

1985 = 3.55%

1986 = 1.91%

1987 = 3.66%

1988 = 4.08%

Look at inflation under Carter(1976-1980) versus inflation under Reagan(1980-1988).

I remember the 1980's. Everything was great under Reagan. There was a huge influx of capital thanks to his tax cuts. The tech industry boomed. Microsoft, Apple, IBM all got big at that time. Plus there was all the high-technollogy defense projects under Reagan. The MX missile, F-117 nighthawk, B-2 bomber and Strategic Defense Initiative. Moonshot926 (talk) 21:44, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Everything was great under Reagan. Except for the whole AIDS crisis. But who cares about gay people, eh? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:00, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

SDI was not a boondoggle. Very imporant research was done in national laboratories and universities. I thought liberals were in favor of the government funding science? SDI would eventually lead to the Patriot system, THAAD and the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System. So it was hardly a waste. Moonshot926 (talk) 23:22, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Learn to indent.

Very imporant research was done... Very important research in the very important fields of blowing people up. Liberals are in favor of the government funding science, yes, but they prefer to leave the science of killing large amounts of people to the private sector, rather than directly funding such things with taxpayer money.

I notice you didn't respond to my point about Reagan ignoring the growing AIDS epidemic. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:28, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but lots of the technollogy we use today was derived from Cold War military technollogy. For example, GPS was developed for guidance of ballistic missiles. So i guess you could say that GPS was developed with the intent to kill millions of people. So, in your opinion, GPS was a waste of money. The HIV strain was not definitively identified until 1984/85. So Reagan's first term was already over. At the time, the outbreak of the disease wasn't even called AIDS -- it was called "GRID," which stands for "Gay Related Immune Deficiency." At the time this was thought to be a "Gay related" illness which didn't concern mainstream America. Reagan was no different from anyone else in this regard. The fact is, until the disease started to spread outside the Gay Community, there wasn't much that any government did to combat it. Moonshot926 (talk) 23:54, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
