Happy new year

and all that shit. You and the others, Crundy, Ace and Goonie. I'm just putting it here because I'm too lazy to go to all their pages. El Taj^{Don't make me do stuff} 13:17, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Happy new year to you, Josh. Cheers!!!! Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 13:23, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Also just watched your video at the Saloon Bar. You're as handsome as ever. El Taj^{Don't make me do stuff} 19:31, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Happy New Year - that was such a cool video you posted. :-D Hope things are going well for you on this first day of the new year, and you have good times on every day of the year to come! Refugee^{talk page} 21:52, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Fuck. Seriously fucked now. I know we spoke yesterday Nutty, and I would have looked fresh and hopeful but now I feel terrible and my liver hurts. Aceⁱ⁹ 21:55, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Bah, livers are optional, right? sterile^{sporadic heavy hitter} 23:50, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey hey HNY guys. Glad to see all of you! 00:06, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Happy new year to y'all as well. I was going to send an email, but then I saw this. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 16:52, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Time Served

Yes - time is served. But this wasn't a case of harassment against Rob. He made the bet and he is a big boy. Aceⁱ⁹ 20:21, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I could say lot about how any moderator who ever gave lip service to wanting order and contributed to our interminable and inarguably counter-productive policy discussions is guilty of the most rank hypocrisy. Nobody cares anymore. 20:40, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

And this has what to do with the bet, agreed to by both parties, with Rob? Aceⁱ⁹ 20:43, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

EC What does any of that have to do with Robbo losing a bet? Theory of Practice "Now we stand outcast and starving 'mid the wonders we have made." 20:44, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

It has to do with the fact that I don't think your bet supersedes policy when Rob didn't want to play anymore. Neither of you would have ever considered this a few years ago. Like I said, nobody cares so wutevs. 20:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

When did Rob not want to play? Aceⁱ⁹ 20:53, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

You've got to be joking. How can you credibly pretend you didn't know Rob intended to vote and edit the wiki when you yourself repeatedly blocked him after he unblocked himself giving reasons clearly stating his intentions. You even blocked him 43 minutes after I unblocked him. ToP blocked him 5 minutes after he unblocked himself to fucking vote. This is a pointless discussion. 21:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah it is fucking pointless. Because there is nothing wrong here, Nutty. He did vote, I made sure he voted and blocked him after. If he has a problem let him state it. He is a big boy and you ain't his Dad. Aceⁱ⁹ 21:09, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

And you got his email before - clearly expressing that now that Obama was inaugurated he should be unblocked. He knew the terms and agreed. What is the big deal? Oh right, there isn't one. Aceⁱ⁹ 21:10, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

You're right and I'm wrong. It was obviously your business that nobody else was allowed to take a position on. I should have ignored him emailing me several times asking to be unblocked. 21:21, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Or you could have brought it to my attention given I was asked to officiate the bet instead of keeping it to yourself so you could complain about it later. Aceⁱ⁹ 21:23, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Or Rob could have emailed me given HE knew and HE agreed to have me officiate it. Aceⁱ⁹ 21:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations on being elected to the Board of Trustees (again)

Congratulations! Yay! We've got you back on the board! I've been running around the wiki in a frenzy, spreading good wishes and cheer... err... or spreading something anyway, on all the newly elected trustee's pages, and I saved the best for last. :-D I need to do something special for my favorite... I'll let you know what I come up with. Refugee^{talk page} 03:31, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Couple of things

Do you remember that White House petition that you were following a few weeks back? The anti-evolution one? Did you bookmark that thing? I'm curious to see how it's doing. Also, will you take me back, baby? Polar Bear in the Jungle Peter Tosh > Bob Marley 02:09, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes and I never left you, darling. Let me look for the link. And not to my "Save Ferris" petition. 02:31, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

For you

For demonstrating exemplary goatery in the line of duty, Sterile has awarded you some beer. Look it has a goat on the label!

Thanks but I didn't do anything but help test minor stuff and write a bot that's useless since Trent solved the entire problem with Captchas and on the server level. 19:36, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Escalating

You're blocking somebody for longer than can be considered a joke, and you're removing comments—neither things that you are supposed to do. Supposedly, as a mod, I am supposed to "monitor conflicts and to use their tools to keep discussions from veering off in directions that are harmful to the community and the site." Supposedly, people are supposed to listen, and supposedly what I do to accomplish that "should not be undone by anyone else." I realise that's a false hope; I realise you don't give a shit about the mods. But in the vain hope of avoiding the a repeat of the mud-slinging fest that was the coop-case of whenever-it-was-last-year that had you slapped on the wrist for doing similar things, do you mind quitting? Given that Brx can unblock himself—and that you are not going to be allowed to prevent this, however repulsive he may be—your one-man TK protocol is just counter-productive, making him more annoying for the rest of us. Peter ^mqzp 08:01, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

No. Your option as a child moderator is to remove my rights. 08:18, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

And just FYI at some point I WILL be allowed to prevent this and you as a moderator trying to puff your chest up to defend him will find yourself ignored. There is a truly worthwhile place for moderators that has for the large part been ignored. What you're doing, sure moderate all you want, but it's not even sticking a finger in the dyke of the outrage that comes pouring out at someone who has no business being here. It's counterproductive. Fairness is for unpopular people who speak honestly and earnestly, as much as it's disagreeable to the prevailing groupthink, and therefore deserve unfair treatment. As I've said prudence matters. It's not an excuse for overlooking things your conscience demands you pay attention to. Brx deserves what he gets. He's a racist slimebag who's here for attention and to stir shit when it pleases him. Basically, get over yourself.

The above can be translated as "But I really don't like him". Tielec01 (talk) 08:55, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Nutty, and you too Ace, show me what is all this vile shit that Brx did. Please. --Revolverman (talk) 08:57, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

If you don't understand this situation, don't you think the better course is to mind your own business rather than make demands? Educate yourself. It's not my job and none of us gets back the time we've wasted doing anything but trying to get rid of this subhuman. 20:01, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I just found on from the Guardian's live blog that Oscar Pistorius' lawyer is called Barry Roux. Relative of yours? rpeh •T•C•E• 08:28, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Indeed he is. We went to cooking school together. I learned how to burn a roux with that guy coming up on 20 years ago. Glad to see he's on the right side. :-/ 08:33, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Aceⁱ⁹ 21:04, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

I saw the DJ Premier show last summer but something like Afrika Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation would be about historic as it gets. Nice. Ghostface Editah (talk) 23:58, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Deleting stuff

Even if cretinous, the done thing is to post on the talk page before deleting something that otherwise, under the community standards, doesn't merit an instant deletion. Concernedresident ^{omg!!! ponies!!!} 22:31, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

It's the intellectual equivalent of writing 'nuh-uh' and spewing back bullshit without argument. Little in the way of premises or evidence. sterile^talk 19:34, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

It's the intellectual equivalent of writing 'nuh-uh' Oh? Like the evolutionist story-telling that went into your original answers? spewing back bullshit without argument. I require you to substantiate that claim or withdraw it and apologize or you will be blocked. I have given you a 1 second block to memorialize this sanction. Little in the way of premises or evidence. You've got it wrong way round and you're engaging in the fallacy of elephant hurling. That's also a furphy. Chalk and cheese refrigerators fire engines choo choo the Christian worldview made science possible. You've not bothered to substantiate your claims, therefore I've shown you to be wrong. Philip J.

No, I found someone network admin talking about using it. I wish I could find a URI with that code. (formerly Ghostface Editah) 23:57, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

theres a bunch of link checker sites and utilities. Did you have something specific in mind ?

Hamster (talk) 00:40, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

It's for RW - going through 6400 mainspace pages, the largest of which has 210 external links. No way to do that by hand. I had to write a script. (formerly Ghostface Editah) 00:45, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

code 418 was an april fools joke "I am a teapot" , theres linkchecker at sourceforge Hamster (talk) 00:53, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

theres also http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html that , are you getting the 404s out of the logs or just doing the whole site ? Hamster (talk) 00:57, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm using the API to collect an array of pages with external links then going through each of them and sticking the title and links in a hash. It's only a few lines of code to check whether the link is well-formed and then check what code it returns pulling the header. No big deal. (formerly Ghostface Editah) 03:46, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

def is_live? url

 uri = URI.parse(url)
 response = nil
 if uri.kind_of? URI::HTTP
   begin
     Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) { |http|
       response = http.head(uri.path.size > 0 ? uri.path : "/")
     }  
     return response.code == "200"
   rescue
     false
   end

   false
 end

Page move continuation

I'm curious as to why you continued the "move anythign Proxie touches to Proxie's userspace" thing past the point where a brief glance at RC would have told you it has had an effect quite unlike anything I can charitably believe you intended. Hydrogen and Time (talk) 17:32, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Uh, whoever the fuck you are. I'm not the least bit curious why you think a relatively small number of mouse clicks and keystrokes is "quite unlike anything [you] can charitably believe [I] intended," when, given that you had absolutely nothing to do with these onerous remediation efforts you feel entitled to whine absout something nobody else seems to give a shit about, or why you've got anything to say about it at all when your description of the situation reflects that you've missed the entire point of my point-making exercise. 20:39, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Regarding your post about Direction

It's a good post. It has me thinking about what I've been doing wrong and what I can do better. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 14:01, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Is good. Listening to Brx concern troll is like cock torture. I need to block him and remove his rights. 04:18, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Your mini-essay

I greatly enjoyed your mini-essay. I wrote a variety of return comments, but ended up not posting any of them. I then tried to draft a reason explaining why I wouldn't post my original comments, but even that would have made me too much of a target.

So I'll just say that I share your belief in what RW could be. I'm trying to do my part to help achieve that. Cheers VOX^HUMANA 07:05, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Reconsider putting it up. You'll find yourself being ardently defended by people who value free speech even if they don't agree with you. 16:02, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Mikemikev

Let's be clear, here, Nutty, who exactly you are dealing with, because it's obvious you are still at the "perhaps this is some reasonable but duped guy." No. You've got yourself a serious quack scientific racists.

Mikemikev is Michael Coombs, a itinerant English teacher of no repute. Currently in South Korea, he espouses a decidedly racist ideology across the internet. On rationalwiki, he's Special:Contributions/110.11.234.96, and Special:Contributions/112.160.35.80. On racist "the phora" he's [3]. On stormfront, he's mikemikev (I can't open stormfront at work). On Wikipedia, he's wp:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mikemikev/Archive, including the lovely [4]. This is a real nazi you are defending here.

Also, not able to confirm, but there's at least an inkling about [5]. Hipocrite (talk) 15:55, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I have no doubt he's a bigot and has a hateful motive for adding the quote. My point is only that the issue isn't so easy - that's why racists can get away with actually quoting Dawkins, albeit without context, to justify their bigotry. It's the same with denialists and creationists. There's always some kernel of truth or something that demands an explanation in what they say. 16:06, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I never used to be like this. It was trying to edit Wikipedia science articles with people like Hipocrite that filled me full of rage. Mikemikev (talk) 08:20, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

You should go talk about race with User:Brxbrx at Encyclopedia Dramatica. He likes it. 14:24, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Roman Catholic Church

Why did you take sourced material out of the article? Proxima Centauri (talk) 14:48, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Because you're editing in bad faith and openly ignoring repeated calls to stop carrying out your vendetta. Your focus on scandal and speculation to the exclusion of simply giving helpful information that someone who isn't carrying out a bizarre personal vendetta might find interesting is embarrassing. Nobody is coming here for your personal opinion. 15:35, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

And at this point, I'm basically going to continue rolling back anything that's remotely questionable, whether it's poorly written, overly focused on carrying out your grudge, or poorly cited (blogs, editorials, opinion pieces, etc.). You'll need to engage the discussion people have been trying to have before I'm going to treat you with any editorial respect. 15:37, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't think is good policy Roux. The edits you reverted were of an official link to Catholic doctrine and the work of an author who is recognized in the field of evolution and the law. Perhaps edits should still be looked at on a case by case basis. Captain Swing (bringer of nachos) 15:39, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

You're right, this needs a case by case basis. Several months ago I mistook Free Comment Guardian for Guardian and since then I've been more careful. Today I mistook a Huffington Post blog for Huffington Post and I'll have to be careful about that too. Nobody can be an expert on every newspaper throughout the English speaking world I know my work sometimes needs to be reviewed. Proxima Centauri (talk) 15:48, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I think I originally added that material, but if another editor makes a good faith case for removing it, that's fine with me. I don't edit war good faith editors. The point of this is to collaborate, accept others' good editorial judgment, and make reasonable compromises. Not looking at PC's edits on a case by case basis anymore. It takes too much time and I'm sick of having to parse them through the lens of her vendetta. 15:43, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Screw you PC - you edit tendentiously and have the chutzpah to complain about being rolled back when you misrepresent what your sources say. This article doesn't say jack shit about the Pope expressing a single encouraging word about LCWR. I'm not reading the rest of the shit you wrote. It's not worth my time. It's not worth any of our time when this happens so often in conjunction with you carrying this grudge. You're driving people nuts having to supervise your editing so closely. Stop it! 21:39, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
