Garlic? How dare you speak of my nemesis! (Thank you for the welcome) --Onion (talk) 21:27, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Nemesis eh? You'll never have a greater nemesis than me my bulbous friend. Ace^X-102 01:22, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Sysoppery

Seeing as how you like making other people delete spam pages for you, I have made you a sysop so that you can delete your own damn spam pages and I can continue to drink beer without interruption. Here's an instruction manual for you. The Goonie 1 ^{What's this button do? Uh oh....} 02:26, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Yay! Enjoy your beer! --signed by an Onion^{talk edits} 02:33, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Please consult talk page in future

We don't do unilateral reversions around here. The issue is being discussed on the talk page. [[1]] This is not a valid method of social interaction. 86.40.206.159 (talk) 17:11, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

heyyyyyyyyyyy

what the fuck is this "rational wiki" even about and what the fuck is your problem asshole??? why are you allowed to have a page and i'm not? i was just teasing a friend that told me about this place and you deleted my page and won't even tell me why? ^{— Unsigned, by: 67.23.224.70 / talk / contribs 21:30, 16 August 2010 (UTC)}

Feel the spiritual cosmicality

Well, I wasn't going to add that category myself. But yes. Yes. It is. - David Gerard (talk) 23:28, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. I imagine that's what I would see if I ever took illegal drugs. Considering that New Age hippies probably take illegal drugs, it's a perfect fit for the template. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 23:40, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Drugs to make you LAME - David Gerard (talk) 23:45, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

And stupid, considering that they believe that random crystals have magic healing power, or "spirit energy", or whatever. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 23:50, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Idiocy

Sorry about my friends immature comments. Ex-Troll Cheerleader^{I'm a teenage girl; get ALLstate to protect yourself from Mayhem like me} 01:39, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Locking pages

It is against the rules to do so at the sysop level for a indefinite period of time. Please unlock it. Otherwise, I'll have to unlock it myself. Lord of the Goons ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 22:09, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

As an addendum, if they re-create it, just keep deleting it. As Trent has said, it's more effort to re-create it on their part than it is to delete it on your part. Punky ^{Your mental puke relief} 22:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I would have unprotected it myself, but my electricity keeps shutting off! --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 22:15, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Your electricity keeps shutting off? Don't blame me. I was in the kitchen, I swear! Lord of the Goons ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 22:18, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

blocks

judicial block lengths, like 1 day at the most! tmtoulouse 22:41, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I'll unblock them later, infinite is just my reflexes. Besides, there's not option for one day, the highest finite time is 9 hours. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 22:43, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

That's probably plenty for this kind of activity. Thanks for doing the blocks anyway :). tmtoulouse 22:43, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

You can type in "1 day" or quite a few arbitrary lengths of time. Though as Trent notes, 31416 seconds is enough to make the kid reboot his modem - David Gerard (talk) 23:08, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

War Crimes

Hi Onion! Can you prove that Nuremberg is better known than Tokyo in America? I think you might be correct, but as fellow member of the reality based community I would like to know how you know. Thorvelden (talk)

Well for one thing, they teach the Nuremberg trials in school, but not the Tokyo trails. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 01:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

True. I detect Eurocentism in that focus on European or Asian victims. Thanks for battling the yahoos. Thorvelden (talk)

getting bored?

Or are you like TK? masturbating to the block log day and night? RW: a pathetic wiki... with an awesome user creation log!!!!! heh (talk) 01:13, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Pat on the back

Good job fighting that moron. Their wandalism isn't even original or good! The Goonie Punk ^{Can't sleep, clowns will eat me!} 02:17, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I've always enjoyed an occasional game of wack a wandal. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 02:49, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I laughed for a solid minute at "Block me for 9 hours." "No." Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 02:58, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

thanks for tidying up my talk page after the vandal Hamster (talk) 04:13, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

And thanks for tidying up after my rename with all the redirects. Blue (is useful) 00:41, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Crash

What? An embedded youtube vid crashed your machine? What are you on? Vista? Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 21:25, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

"People from Asia" category

Should it go as well then? PACODOG^{woof, bitches} 23:58, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

can we debunk conservapedia's articles

are we allowed to debunk conservapedia articles, is saw a funny one about biblical scientific foreknowledge in the bible and want to debunk it. 900674 (talk) 20:53, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Certainly, you can. Though you should, probably, put it in our CONservapedia space. Gooniepunk2010 ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 20:54, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

We encourage it! --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 20:56, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Article Edit

Christ, that didn't stay long.

I was wondering why you're not fine with the edit but you are fine with the statement 'the conclusion is blindingly obvious because correlation implies causation'. ^{— Unsigned, by: 81.158.152.186 / talk / contribs}

Hey

I don't think you're being very rational here, I'm asking a legitimate question. I'm not trying to be confrontational, I just don't understand what's going down with that article. Please see the talk page there for more info if you would like.

- Oops, sorry, didn't see you'd moved it. :)

Media

Wow, you're fast. I swear you were adding that template before I even saved it! ħuman 02:11, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I could go even faster if my computer would stop freezing up! --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 02:36, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Wow, I really appreciate you doing the hard work. ħuman 03:12, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, you're welcome :-) . All I really do is copy {{media}} and paste it on every page, its not really that hard, its just a little tedious. Also this boosted my edit count, which I really don't need to care about anymore at this rate. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 03:31, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Ey did the same for my communism sidebar. (He? She? Ey?) And as an unofficial member of the RationalWiki Pat on the Back Society, let me give you a Pat on the Back. Enjoy. Pat on the Back not valid in the state of Utah. Blue (is useful) 04:17, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Alright, you intelligent and productive user

You finally have an article about you are the Wiki that watches RationalWiki. Just remember you can't whitewash your own article there. Enjoy! Gooniepunk2010 ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 04:40, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, I guess I should have saw that one coming! --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 23:02, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Hey, thanks for the welcome just now!

Since you obviously know more about RationalWiki than I do, and since I have your attention, you could peek at my post to the saloon about whether it would be appropriate to use RationalWiki to organize for the "Rally to Restore Sanity".

Do you have a feel on whether that would be appropriate? Or, who I should ask to try to get permission to do so?

Thanks! --CreedShandor (talk) 20:48, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

This wiki is a mobocracy. If the mob likes your idea, then we can run with it. --Sir Onion ^{Kneel before my vegetable might!} 20:53, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

From the looks of it, the community has given it its blessing, so long as you keep it out of the mainspace. This should be an interesting new experience, IMO. And we won't screw up the publicity like CONservapedia did when they got Colbert's attention. Gooniepunk2010 ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 01:16, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Curious...

What was "Elassint's" stroke of genius? Blue (is useful) 03:21, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Still wondering. :) Blue (is useful) 03:57, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

If you're not Elassint, your edits to their talk page will be rolled back. Actually, they will be. A simple comment under your old log in will of course, make smooth the ravages of disputation. ħuman 06:20, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

PS, we forgive and forget easily, so don't worry about that. ħuman 06:21, 20 September 2010 (UTC).

Evowikey

At the forum you created, links, please, more info? Appreciated in advance. ħuman 06:51, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Footnote joke in Video games

Have you read the OS Wars page? It's just smartassery. You're taking my "flamebait" label a bit too seriously. EVDebs (talk) 23:22, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Vandalisms

To: Onion/Archive1
From: Blue

Thank you for your kind vandalism!
Feel free to aggressively pat yourself on the back.

P.S. You really pulled that one out of the dust heap of history! Blue (is useful) 02:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Lumeniki

Is it true that you have journeyed away from this planet and to the planet Lumeniki? Gooniepunk2010 ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 23:02, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

It looks like he only made one recent edit there. I certainly hope he hasn't gone to the other side, though. Or should I say the lumenother lumenside. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 23:08, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I was mostly curious if he agreed with an observation made by one of my bandmates: that Lumeniki seems like it was written by an alien from another planet that's in the process of studying humans on Earth. When my bandmate said that, I was like "Holy fuck! You're right!" Gooniepunk2010 ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 23:11, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

That actually makes a lot of sense! Wow. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 23:20, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

That would explain the anal probe ey sent me. ħuman 23:53, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

You are a bot.

You have one hour, after which I will make you a regular user again. Unless, of course, some other 'crat wishes to keep an eye on you.... Gooniepunk2010 ^{Oi! Oi! Oi!} 18:20, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Give me a minute to set something up. -- Nx / talk 18:21, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

There you go, just go to Special:UserRights/Onion and you can bot and unbot yourself. -- Nx / talk 18:27, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Could whatever you just did for Onion perhaps be a new user group/right, that lets relatively trusted users bot/unbot themselves? ħuman 06:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

It is a new usergroup. -- Nx / talk 06:52, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

What is it called? ħuman 08:00, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

It's quite obvious I think. -- Nx / talk 08:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Had you appended the words "called 'Ninja'" to your last post it would have save us both some time. Now we need to document it? ħuman 08:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Had you looked at the user rights log you would've saved Onion a few orange boxes. -- Nx / talk 08:11, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

And do you mind renaming it something sensible, like "trusted bot" or "botter" or something other than fricking "Ninja"? Sorry for the orange boxes, Onion. ħuman 08:07, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Grouppage-ninja, MediaWiki:Group-ninja, MediaWiki:Group-ninja-member Knock yourself out. -- Nx / talk 08:11, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Can we move this to my talk page to spare Onion, and tell me what this means? Can I just make pages just like those MW pages and do what you did? Or do I need server access to rename/recreate the group? ħuman 08:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Category renaming et cetera

I learned this recently from Nx - to force a reprocessing of categories, you can use a dummy edit, viz., clicking "edit" and then "save" without modifying anything. Blue (is useful) 05:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
