Hello Stabby

how is tricks? Ace^ace 02:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Uh, fine? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 03:05, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, "Hows tricks" is my fancy, hipster lingo way of saying "Good afternoon, kind sir. How does this day find you?" Ace^ace 03:07, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Oh, just fine. How are things treating you in kiwiland? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:13, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Excellent thank you. All exciting here due to the rugby world cup. I am not a rugby fan to be honest but there is a real carnival atmosphere downtown. I enjoy it because when I do something really atavistic it tends to go unnoticed among such large swaths of weird foreigners. Ace^ace 02:16, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Retirement

Good luck. 22:44, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

How am I anything like MarcusCicero?

I mean, really. I don't see it. Introspection has never been a gift of mine but I'm at a loss as to how you've made the connection.--User:Brxbrx/sig 23:04, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I compared you to MC because, like him, you're massively disruptive, and your very presence in a discussion has a 50% of derailing it. I called you a lobotomized version of him because MC could hold his own as an intellectual when he felt like it. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:52, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Saying this isn't going to make me look much better in your eyes but the reason conversations get derailed when I join them is no because I derail them but rather because someone else jumps me. Of course, saying "it's everybody else, not me!" is rarely convincing. Maybe I'll pull out some examples some other time.--User:Brxbrx/sig 19:59, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Now you've blocked me at RWW? I do not understand your antipathy towards me. I wish to see RationalWiki adopt some rules so that people do no get to take dumps on each other. Perhaps I've been uncouth in trying to fulfill this particular agenda, but I don't see how that could generate the level of dislike you're currently displaying. I am sick of older users treating whoever they don't like as punching bags. What is so wrong about that?--User:Brxbrx/sig 12:28, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I blocked you at RationalWikiWiki because all you were accomplishing there was disruption. RWW is about documenting, and occasionally critiquing, RationalWiki. Dragging drama from RW to RWW accomplishes neither of those things. Furthermore, RWW is not about changing RationalWiki—no one is under any illusions that the place is a catalyst for reform. If you want to improve RW itself, then do so here. (Your support for the revamp of the Community Standards accomplished far more than any amount of bitching at RWW ever will.)

And, yes, I'm fully aware of the irony of me saying, "Don't drag drama to RWW." I can say it now because I learned it the hard way. My advice to you is avoid all that, and stick to pushing for change here. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:52, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

When you criticize and comment on things that are going on at RW over on RWW, it's inevitable that drama will carry over. The only WIGOs that don't get reverted are the ones that have absolutely nothing to say about what is going on behind mainspace. And you know what? I'm pretty sure WIGOs are expected to be controversial. If you don't like it, you vote it down.

Now, I've never used RWW to try and change RationalWiki, but I have used it to comment on RationalWiki. Naturally some of my comments were met with flaming and trolling and I admit that on many occasions I responded in kind (and I regret that). But my actions on RWW have never been out of line with the actions of others, except that my opinion differs from Ace's and Nutty's so they often take it out on me. You should try and make your own opinion of me instead of listening to them. Please unblock me from RationalWikiWiki that I may continue discussion of RationalWiki and even add some mainspace content (I do that too)--User:Brxbrx/sig 19:59, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

That's fucking hilarious and shows just how out of touch you are Brx. Stabby would never listen to me - me and him have a long acrimonious relationship. Much like me and Nx. If he doesn't like you it has nothing to do with me. Ace^ace 20:07, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

That doesn't show I'm out of touch. That shows I made an account circa February and he wasn't active at the time.--User:Brxbrx/sig 02:26, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

In that case you shouldn't leap to the conclusion that his opinions of you are anything but his own. Ace^ace 02:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

So... You're not unbanning me any time soon, then?--User:Brxbrx/sig 01:01, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Nope. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:16, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Funny how you block me of all people, rather than other more consistent abusers. I think you're misguided, and possibly seeking the approval of "cool" editors such as Ace. But hey, what do I know?--User:Brxbrx/sig 01:19, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

heh, stabby doesn't give a shit what I think. He never has. He has scorn for me since I signed up. Ace^ace 01:25, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) "What do I know?"—very little, apparently.

I seek the approval of editors I respect, not editors I think are cool. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:27, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

No offence taken, bud. Ace^ace 01:29, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I see this and I draw conclusions. I make no claims of their being any good.--User:Brxbrx/sig 01:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I am not looking for an argument but a discussion...

I am not sure how I feel about an editor using community resources and a community webspace (that members of the community have paid for...) to host their own private essays that are not covered by the same copyleft system as all of our other material. Why not post them on your own webspace, instead of "ours"? B♭maj7 (talk) Anachronistically anachronistic 21:55, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

An excellent question, and one that puts things in perspective. My answer is thus:

Because I won't be treating RationalWiki as a private hosting space, or as a dumping ground for private material. I would like to share things with the community, to participate with, as a part of, the community. But, at the same time, I remain uncomfortable giving up my rights over a particular essay.

Of note, the community already used its resources and webspace to host a ton of copyrighted material. They remain hosted on this site, not because people think we're a dumping ground, but because the uploaders, in good faith, believe the material is of interest to the community. Being of interest to the community ultimately defines what material the community will host, rather than technical adherence to a particular copyleft system. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 22:43, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

A more appropriate example would've been the RW-only licensed images of what a certain editor had for dinner that day. -- Nx / talk 09:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Yah, I thought that, too, when I saw Weaseloid raise that same example. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 10:20, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

My response to the message you sent to me.

I'm an agnostic atheist because I'm unsure if God exists or not because I haven't seen any hard core evidence to believe in God. And I'm an antitheist because I currently think religion is detrimental to society, but If see further evidence for God, I will cease being an antitheist. Take care. Nashhinton (talk) 21:50, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Just want to say...

Glad to see you kicking around the site on a quasi-regular basis again. B♭maj7 (talk) Anachronistically anachronistic 00:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Ditto. ΨΣΔξΣΓΩΙÐ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 00:37, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, you guys. I was afraid I'd burned too many bridges. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:39, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

You are far more agreeable than Nx. Ace^ace 00:49, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

The fact that there is no space in your signature between "Stabby" and "the"

is driving me insane. Are you just a... a... a, er, misanthrope? Blue (is useful) 01:46, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I previewed it with a space, but I liked it better when gapless. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:49, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to have to think of you as "Stabbythe Misanthrope." As in, "Stabbythe" is your first name, and "Misanthrope" is your last. That's the only way I'm going to be able to stand it. Blue (is useful) 01:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Harrumph. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:56, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

You have no idea how much better I feel. Blue (is useful) 02:00, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Hugs all around.

I'm going to remove the space between "Blue" and "van Meer" as soon as you log off. :) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:03, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Ooh, you're evil, Stabby. I squint my eyes in your general direction. Blue (is useful) 02:06, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

You will always be RA to me. :-) Refugee^{talk page} 07:41, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

On Fictionpress are actually rather good! :D And mad props for the Teen Titans, I shall start reading those as well!--Dumpling (talk) 05:43, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

O_O Bricks have just been shat.

I can't begin to express what it means to me, to hear that a writer I respect as much as you liked my stories. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 06:01, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

AHAHAHA! Nooooo waaaay. Errrrm. -awkward blush- Thank...you? I guess? Hahaha. Wow...I'm respected. That's a weird feeling. Anyways! YEAH! I like them! Tell me when you update the Teen Titans ones. I love how you nailed BB down perfectly. Besides Raven, BB is my favorite. --Dumpling (talk) 06:13, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome ^_^ And I certainly will let you know when I update. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 06:35, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Critical thinking and logic

Have you heard of critical thinking? No? Well you need to. Its the major thing your missing.

There i was, listing all the flaws in the freeman on the land page, and woosh, everything dissapeared as though it had been cencored by someone who owned the page and counts any form of criticism as vandalism.

Now i have to laugh.

HA HA HA, you fail sooo badly at logic, at critical thinking, your not reasoned. Your simply trying to bend the facts untill they say what you want them to say. For example:

RWW

Can you plz fix this? Thx - Refugee^{talk page} 18:36, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Can't fix it until next year. Just keep refreshing until it works again. Тy^talk 18:36, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Next year? Why? Can you fix it Ty? Refugee^{talk page} 18:38, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

RWWW is still on RW servers, and it cannot become independent until next year. Only Trent can fix it until then, and apparently he is busy. Тy^talk 18:41, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

hee.. you said RWWW instead of RWW lol :p Thanks for the input, for now I cannot access RWW.. ah well. I need to get out in the real world (what's that?) and do stuff now anyway. see ya later! :-) Refugee^{talk page} 18:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

This happens because RWW runs on a pretty weak server, and runs out of memory when there are too many people accessing it. The only way to fix it is to put it on a bigger server, which means someone will have to pay for the hosting. -- Nx / talk 22:09, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

For the record: I haven't had RationalWikiWiki server access since it was moved to RW's server. Though I totally should ;__; Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:01, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

I just get this: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" Is it dead now? Refugee^{talk page} 03:09, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Seems like it. Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content<sup> 03:10, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

My guess is that Trent pulled the plug to reboot it or something. (Assuming RWW is still on the server that's on Trent's desk.) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 03:12, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

john berry

He also wrote the theme/music to dances with wolves. really not overly impressed. Godot I hate sluts 23:54, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

It wasn't so much that John Berry wrote it as it being from The Black Hole. That was my favorite movie for a long time, partly because of Berry's awesome intro music. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:00, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to admit, i don't even know this film.Godot I hate sluts 00:01, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

That's okay, you're not missing much. Just imagine 2001: A Space Odyssey and the original Star Wars mated and had a very ugly baby. A baby that was made in 1979 with all the advanced special effects the 60s had to offer. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:11, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

You forgot one. Peter ^{talk, or type, or whatever...} 06:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about that one. And you must've been lurking a long time to remember that : ) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 06:26, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

No, just intensively over a short period. :D Peter ^{talk, or type, or whatever...} 06:30, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Impressive. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 06:33, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Spaces around em dashes

The New York Times style manual says that spaces should be placed around em dashes when writing in such contexts as web-pages, since the spaces are used by the rendering engine as points of demarcation when inserting line breaks, etc. ListenerX^TalkerX 07:06, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Your premise is flawed: you assume I care what the New York Times has to say about this : ) But in all seriousness, the NYT Manual of Style is an exception—most American style guides say no spaces around em-dashes. Additionally, the NYT Manual also says to always use "Mr.," "Ms.," etc., in front of any surname. Are we going to start doing that, too? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 07:17, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Does the NYT Manual make any recommendations about the use of the terms "lulz," "bullshit," or "wingnuttery"? Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 07:20, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

The NYT Manual discourages the use of the term "bullshit" in favor of the more versatile "horseshit." Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 07:58, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

To be fair to LX he doesn't seem to be saying: "We should do X because the NYT says so." He's saying "I think we should do X because the NYT says there's a good technical reason for doing so."--Bob^{Spring is sprung!} 08:38, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes. ListenerX^TalkerX 08:41, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Point taken. To answer: I'm dubious of NYT's assertion that spaces around em-dashes can affect the line breaks. It appears to be a solution in search of a problem:

• 
• 

For the screenshots, I fussed with the zoom on my phone to force the browser to render line breaks involving em-dashes. The em-dashes shown do not have spaces around them. I don't see any problems. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 10:05, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

I have to tell you this here since you blocked me on RWW

That comment was left because the uploader has a history of looking down on me for being from ED. I was pointing out the irony of his using such memes. Now, please answer honestly: what has crawled up your ass? What the fuck is your problem with me? Did I run over your dog? I'm sorry I want people on RW to be civil to each other. Now leave me alone.--User:Brxbrx/sig 23:50, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

No. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:03, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

that's the sound of 1000 tiny little violins playing....--GodotI live in the Infinite monkey cage 00:05, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

You don't want people on RW to do anything but pay attention to you. I have a history of looking down on you because you're human garbage. If ED has anything to do with it it's because it's a place we all wish you'd return. 03:07, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

You don't "have" to do anything of the sort. Another course of action would be to take the hint, realize that RA/Stabby/Hans doesn't want to deal with you--or else he wouldn't have blocked you--and you could've gone somewhere else where people actually do want to deal with you and aren't sick of your shit.
