What is your problem?

Why do you hate me so much? I'm an anti-Christian anti-American anti-Semitic neo nazi. Isn't that just what rationalwiki is? I know my edits terrify conservapedia jewbagels. Billybobcarterwashington 20:27, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Terence Casey Brennan: met him?

Have you ever met T. Casey Brennan? As I live and breathe, he is a doppelganger of L. Ron Hubbard. He and I used to get baked and he would kick my ass all over the chess board when we lived in a housing co-op on Washtenaw Ave. Still a babe magnet after all these years, it seems. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 02:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

I have not. But I'll keep my eyes open, as getting baked and getting my ass kicked at chess would definitely qualify as fun. UPDATE: Wait, I'm pretty sure I've seen him bumping around. Maybe @ the Ark? Anyway, just a glance at the article tells me I should search him out--I'm a huge comics guy, too. TheoryOfPractice (talk)

Not much into comics, me, but some of his stuff that I saw was worth a second look. That was then, and even at that time, one needed some tolerance of teh krazy to get along with im. He looked better in those days, and was often to be found on the carpet in a pile of people, all but him sporting bewbs. With application, he could have founded a bigger cult than he did.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wishee actually to implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

Toast is partly right. I was talking about Nutty Roux being allowed to have a sock called Conservapederast. If Conservapederast is allowed, then HatesNiggersAndFaggots should be as well. But if everybody is SO against this name, then I can just make a new account called RapesChildren, since that sort of thing is apparently more ok than racism and homophobia - I promise, I'm a sock of a long-time user here!

Yes, NR is CP, but it hardly matters if you didn't know that, since if you didn't, you couldn't have given privileges to CP that you would only have given if you'd known it was NR. So I retract that, but the question remains: If Conservapederast is ok, why is HatesNiggersAndFaggots not? Or why can I not have my name changed to RapesChildren and be unvandalbinned?

Why is MarcusCicero unbinned?
Remember: Hi, This is John's brother. I know he has been using this account for a variety of reasons, none of them productive for his troublesome history of mental health problems. For obvious reasons I don't want to go into details about this but suffice to say my mother and father have decided to withdraw his access from the internet for the duration of his most recent treatment process. I apologise on my brothers behalf for any problems he may have caused this website during his period of instability. As you know, his posts have been of a bizarre quality but that is merely a reflection of his real world mental anguishes. MarcusCicero (talk) 23:09, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

And: My glorious run has ended. This is not a case of 'leaving and never coming back', but more a case of 'burn out'. I created a personality on the internet so radically different from the real life version that I've forgotten even what trolls remorse feels like.. (You can thank Refugee over on RWW for providing the impetus) My highlights on RW: Making loads of people mad, especially Ace, Susan, Jeeves (Hi Jeeves! Wanker) and also Kels. Doing my best to persuade half of you that I 'was a dick who has something worthwhile to say', while really just being a dick and doing my best to annoy as many people as possible. Continuously rejecting the label of troll; even though I was the most transparent 'concern troll' in history. Riding the wave of mock grievance; So many times you put me on the centre stage with a semi reasonable grievance and I made sure to maximise the fallout as much as possible. Pretending to be a scholar (I know fuck all) One regret: Stooping to do the mental illness stunt. That was a terrible miscalculation. Adios RW! I may pop in from time to time, but at least now you'll know for sure than I'm a fully fledged troll! MarcusCicero 19:48, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

So, TheoryOfPractice, who are you rooting for (if either team) in this year's Super Bowl? I, personally, am rooting for the commercials, but that's because it's the main reason I watch. Lord of the Goons ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 23:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Bah, that's what YouTube is for. --Kels (talk) 23:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I actually don't really "follow" American football (or much corporate sports anymore) so I don't really have a dog in that race: I do enjoy watching the games if I happen to be walking past a TV (I don't own one) and a game is on, but I can't really find it in myself to invest in really following the whole thing. I'm with you on the commercials though--as much as I hate what they're all about, lotsa smart and funny people are in that racket and they come up with great stuff...TheoryOfPractice (talk) 23:16, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Exactly my thinking on the commercials. While I hate the companies behind them, you gotta appreciate the talent and creativity behind the people who make them. Otherwise, I'm not really a sports fan, myself. Though I do find myself hating the Vikings, but for reasons other then that they suck. Lord Goonie ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 23:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm rooting for New Orleans just because they have a much worse record than the Colts. That's not much of a reason, but there it is. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 23:24, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

If I had to pick a team, I'd choose the Saints, too. Simply because they've never won a Super Bowl before, and because they eliminated the Vikings, which I appreciate because the Vikings not going to the Super Bowl is one less piece of bullshit I have to hear in favor of raising taxes to build them a goddamn stadium when we just cut GAMC for the poor. Thank you, Tim Pawlenty, you heartless jackass! The Goonie Punk ^{Can't sleep, clowns will eat me!} 23:30, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I would have moved his post to begin with, but I didn't want to be called a hypocrite for complaining about him changing posts on others. --Irrational Atheist (talk) 16:00, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I didn't change nothin'. The page is for a joke debate on banning him, not for him to vent some more. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 16:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

prologue

TOP, we've had our differences from day one. The one thing that we could agree on is that this wiki isn't big enough for both of us. We could have gone through the motions and dragged this out into a public debate, but we both knew what the outcome would be: one way or another, you were going to leave this wiki. In a way, I respect you for taking the high road by circumventing that process and bowing out before things got ugly. I don't know if I would have been able to do the same, and I wouldn't have expected you to let me off easy. Looking back on our discussions and deliberations, I caught many glimpses of the rational person I know you can be. It's something that gave me hope in you, and something I would like to see fostered and cared for like the delicate flower you are inside. Where ever you end up, I hope you find a community that will continue to hold you to the coals, intellectually speaking, without you pressing them for lenience or outright clemency. One day, I think you can reclaim the trust you've lost here. Fare the well. ^{— Sincerely, Neveruse / Talk / Block} 22:03, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Neveruse, thank you for your kind words. More importantly, thank you for believing in me. Know that your belief in me fills me with hope that there is, somewhere deep inside you, something worth salvaging, something that will ultimately bring you redemption. Go forward, knowing that you carry in you the potential to bring love and hope to the world. anywhere but here, Neveruse. Anywhere but here. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 22:34, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Why am I not surprised, TOP? Why am I not surprised that you would so wantonly renege on such a hard-fought compromise? Your time here is over. The sooner you realize that, the soon you can began to pull the wool over some other unsuspecting community's eyes, because we're through with you. Don't call, don't send flowers to my work, don't even fucking think about it. Just move on. If there is anything left at the bottom of that pit inside your heart, scrape it together and try to look at this from our point of view. None of this was easy, and dragging it out is just making this harder. Are you some kind of masochist? Why do you keep coming back for more when I'm trying to let you off easy? I'm constantly amazed at the lengths you will go to destroy this community and my life personally. You know what I'm talking about and that shit was not cool. NOT COOL. ^{— Sincerely, Neveruse / Talk / Block} 22:40, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

When this whole sordid affair is over, when the Loya Jirga has come into effect and we have acted on the one thing that really needs to be done--you being de-sysopped, de-cratted, and 404-blocked from seeing the site, I will then do whatever else I deem necessary to ensure that you can no longer sully this community's reputation with your constant antics. And no, maybe it wasn't cool what I did, how I broke the "fourth wall" like that, but given the circumstances--and the photographic evidence that I had--it seemed as if alerting the people who have to live and work with you was the only viable course of action for me. And for them. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 22:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't unblock EL

The guy is here simply to troll. Instead of unblocking him, find out why he was blocked (as per the comment left on the block). This is why we had the LJ setup. So that people didn't decide to systematically undo what others find should have been done, thus defeating any purpose to the mission at hand. Earthland does not add to this mission and abuses his sysopship. He needs to be removed since he cannot figure out that his actions are trolling. --Irrational Atheist (talk) 20:11, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't tell me what to do. The role of the LJ, as far as I understand it, it decidedly not to maintain permablocks that hotheaded editors wrongly impose on somebody 'cause they're on the rag and feeling a little thin-skinned today. You wanna make a case for permabanning EL? Wait a few days until we've got the LJ sorted out and take it to them. until then chill the fuck out. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 20:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

If you don't want me to tell you what to do, then don't be an ass on my talk page. I banned him because this is not the first time that EL has done this shit and has been told to stop. He obviously won't. Time to be done with him. Besides, what does he add to this site? Absolutely nothing. --Irrational Atheist (talk) 20:19, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate your comment here. Thank you for that levelheadedness. I do hope he takes it to heart. --Irrational Atheist (talk) 20:22, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

EC An ass on your talk page? All I did was call you out for a flagrant violation of the site's rules. Show me where I was "an ass," or you're being the troll. I called out EL on his page too, FWIW. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 20:24, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

"What the fuck was that all about?"-That. I made it clear why he got banned. A peek at his previous contributions (the talk page and the ban) would have been very clear as well. So why the need to ask in such a manner like the reason wasn't already known? --Irrational Atheist (talk) 20:30, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

My new troll script and your problem.

Using my TrollBeGone script, I could easily write you a script that would hide WIGO CP and the talk page so you can't see them? - π 23:56, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

That would be awesome! Make it so. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 00:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay here you go, chuck the following five lines of code in your monobook.js:

importScript('User:Π/Scripts/PageBeGone.js');
function myshitlist(){
   PageBeGone("Conservapedia","What_is_going_on_at_CP%3F");
}
addOnloadHook(myshitlist);

It will need some work before it goes live, but you can beta test it for me. - π 00:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Alright--many thanks, PI. I'll run it for a bit and let you know how it works. Feel free to berak into my monobook page and eff with it if the need arises. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 00:47, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

You didn't have to blank the whole thing, you could just append it. Don't forget to ctrl+f5 to see the changes. What browser are you using? - π 00:49, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, one bit of code was for CUR's siggy--not necessary. The other was the anti-MC code, and since I'm looking LJ-bound, I should prolly stay up to date on that issue, so yeah...I'm running F-Fox, like all the cool kids...TheoryOfPractice (talk) 00:51, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

That is good, I used a command that I think only works on Firefox 3+ - π 01:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

There is something you must understand

"Pig" is not a nice word. Just in case you didn't know.

But I fully acknowledge the devastatingly painful difficulties that you had to go trough when you reverted the permanent ban that was given to me. After all, I had made a pointless comment, even if it was relatively innocent. Some would say that permanent ban isn't enough for such evil, but you know better, eh?

Don't take this effort to make any kind of answer. I don't need it. You don't need it. I'm just trolling here anyway.

--Earthland (talk) 19:04, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

"Pig" referred to the size of the page, not to the contents thereof. As for the rest of your comment, I didn't revert the ban because of you, i reverted it because those are the rules...TheoryOfPractice (talk) 19:29, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

I can't follow. Did you invent new definition for "pig"? Or was it typo? --Earthland (talk) 19:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it remains essentially a pig. Wēāŝēīōīď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 20:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, Paul, the shit finally hit the fan from your little "prank". I just got fired from my job. Way to take a harmless joke too far. So, you win. I'll fucking leave. Congratu-fucking-lations.

Yeah, was backed up with work for a while, and then needed to get out of the horrible town where I live for a few days. Missed the joint.

Vandal Binned?

Hi, you seem to have vandal binned me (possibly automatically) for using an IP used by MarcusCicero (block ID #487), and while I understand the precaution, I am not he, nor do I know him. Rather I'm editing from my college's IP address, so that may have something to do with it? Could you please unbin me, if you would be so kind? H. Randolph Twist (talk) 01:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Your user name is not vandal-binned. If a particular IP address is, it is for good cause, and you shall, for the time being, have to edit from elsewhere. Eire has great internet service, so it shan't be a problem. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 01:10, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I can vouch that this person is not me. But then again I don't expect this gentleman to prevail; RWs policy of knowingly blocking 15,000 students is absurd but with the new authoritarian regime anything seems to go. Even the once unthinkable.

So, ToP, what type of wine is your favorite? White or red, chardonnay or cabernet? etc., etc., etc... Lord Goonie ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 02:26, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, I do find it a bit absurd, since I do live on my university's campus and thus my options for editing from other locations are somewhat limited... then again, I've never encountered this problem before yesterday.
