Yay!

JACKPOT We meet in th'middle. Pink_{("Th" is a word.)} 15:50, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

Indeed. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 15:51, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

Quite. Pink_{(Astronomy something)} 15:56, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

Perhaps. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 15:58, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

As you say. Pink_{(Domine, you miscreant)} 16:02, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

Eric Clapton.

It's people like you what cause unrest. Whatever happened to all the fun in the world? PFoster 23:44, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

I am having fun. I really don't care about the Eric Clapton article, I just enjoy playing with you. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:47, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

Difference between vandal and vcat

What is it? PFoster 00:38, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

"Vcat" adds the user to the vandals category. Additionally, Template:Vandal is kind of, er, showy. My impression was that it was created to be a badge of pride, rather than a condemnation, which is what vcat is. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:06, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

And then there's the "vandal" usergroup, which limits their edits... ħuman 01:14, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

Help for teh sysop

Fred Phelps is seeing a lot of wandalism, and I wanted to protect it because most edits have not been productive, only problem is when I saw the protection history someone says "we don't lock articles." What's the deal with this? MIP has actually signed in - 18:51, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

Unfortunately, RationalWiki does not even have a policy regarding protection. We do have a vague community consensus that locking pages is to be avoided as much as possible. After all, this is a wiki, so any damage can be undone with the click of a button. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:49, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

I realize that probably wasn't very helpful. I suggest you propose page protection on the talk page, and make an argument for locking it there. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:49, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

Nah, I read you loud and clear. And I do realize that in the case I was questioning blocking the Fred Phelps page, it would have been easier to block all the defective wandals (along with the help of fellow sysops) and leave it unlocked. Thanks. MIP has actually signed in - 00:25, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

Hehe, yeah, except we also try not to bother blocking people, either. There are so many of us and so few of them that vandalism rarely lasts more than a few minutes. ħuman 01:53, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

But it's so fun! MIP has actually signed in - 17:49, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

So block other sysops, lock your subpages, or - go get your rocks off an a wiki with a power structure... if that's what you really need? (Which I doubt). ħuman 04:35, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

Of course not. In hindsight, it's more fun to block vandals repeatedly for short periods of time than one long block. MIP has actually signed in - 18:10, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

Demotion

Thanks for the mop. Corry^{Baby, you got a stew going.} 00:43, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

You're welcome. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:06, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Wait a moment... didn't I give you a toilet scrubby? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:06, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I got the toilet scrubby. I traded it in for a minigun, because you can clean toilets (or at least reduce the number of toilets that are dirty) with a minigun, but you cannot shoot bullets at a firing rate of 6000 rounds per minute with a toilet scrubby.

At least, not the kind you gave me... Wazza (Not Wazzock, Wazza)^{Approach the Presence} 01:07, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

In case you haven't noticed, the community here is very pro-gun-control. You may want to hide your minigun. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:10, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I have all the relevant permits and I keep it trigger-locked and in a gunsafe when not in use. Also, it is only for hunting purposes. Wazza (Not Wazzock, Wazza)^{Approach the Presence} 01:14, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Hunting what? Mosquitos? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:16, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I always think I'm hunting big game, but what I actually shoot turns out to be some sort of red mist. Wazza (Not Wazzock, Wazza)^{Approach the Presence} 01:22, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Perhaps, it was a big game animal, until you hit it with 100 rounds per second? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:25, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

As long as between misty episodes, it is safe from minors who might want to play "videogames" with it, it's cool. Where do I trade my mop and buckitts in for a minigunz or twelve? ħuman 01:41, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I know of no gun shops on-wiki. I suggest you ask gun-runner Wazza where he got his. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:44, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Where do you think I got it? Conservapedia! I was quite shocked that they did not check my license or put me through a waiting period, though. Wazza (Not Wazzock, Wazza)^{Approach the Presence} 01:46, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I think another good source would be the sekrit skwirrel guy. He seems to know his shit in that regard. Check tomorrow's newspapers!!! Oh, wait, I promised to play "safe". nevermind. From the home of the Live Free or Die! ħuman 01:48, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Congratulations! It only took you one and a half weeks to notice! Hooray for the callous and brain dead tyrant Human!

So you just do what you want? Blanking talk pages at will? And when I happen to run across it, I am "~"?

Do you think there might be any ad hominem attacks in the edit comment I copied as the topic line? I didn't "miss" Pink, to tell you the truth, because all it did was angry talk and the song war with AKjeldsen (which was funny). IE, I wasn't curious as to its latest opinions, since it was mostly an attention whore. ħuman 02:47, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I see. So anyone you don't like is an "attention whore"? And as I recall, you've engaged in some pretty base attacks on me before. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:51, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Fuck off Get some sleep and get over yourself. ħuman 02:55, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

No thank you. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:56, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

You're welcome. ħuman 02:57, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Rationalwikiwiki

That website sucks, it has hardly anything about me on it. Do you need you Bureaucratness back? - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 05:06, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I would greatly appreciate it. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:11, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

There you go. - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 05:14, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Thank you muchly. I'll try not to rampage too much. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:17, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Greetings

Thanks for the friendly hello. I assure you, I'll stick around. Mostly I don't sign up for things unless I have to, but in the case of this site, I just might do it. ;-) For the furtherance of science, 66.75.11.192 22:18, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I hope you do. In the name of science! Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 22:20, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

OK Guv'ner, I'm back. On a scale of 1 to 10, what do you intend the overall tone of this wiki to be? You seem to be at a delicate balance between "100% lulz", and "100% srs bizness." I have read the community standards page. 66.75.11.192 22:28, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Edit. I have now found this That makes sense. 66.75.11.192 22:32, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

It's a balancing act sometimes, but it works. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 22:41, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Job

Got one yet? δλερνερ ^{διαλέγομαι | συνεισφέρω} 21:32, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

Yes. I've had one for the last month now. I work in the county elections office. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 21:33, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

Congrats. δλερνερ ^{διαλέγομαι | συνεισφέρω} 22:01, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

My user page

Just wanted to thank you for your vigilance :) Much appreciated. I've reverted back to his version, but just because it amuses me to do so. You do good work.--Tom Moore^{fiat justitia ruat coelum} 01:17, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

Are you referring to Fall down? Anywho, you're welcome. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:00, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for having my back...

But I decided to out-snark the guy. PFoster 21:11, 2 November 2008 (EST)

So I see. And your welcomes. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 21:52, 2 November 2008 (EST)

Clickbot

Are you still running that clickbot on the CP evolution article? - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 20:58, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Nope. I've been hitting other articles based on pure whimsy. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 21:01, 3 November 2008 (EST)

I was wondering how Ken

's three pet articles have gone up to 3,000,000 in 6 months given CP doesn't get that kind of traffic. - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 21:03, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Well, I did pump atheism by over a half million about a month ago. But after that, I stopped. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 21:13, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Mangina

Essay:Gender_and_Sysops. Wow. You really think that's an earth-shattering issue? Women deserve to be promoted, why, just because they're women. That's what's fucking up the world.

The truth is that as soon as any organisation gets a considerable amount of women in leadership positions, it becomes female-dominated. From then on, it becomes devoted to promoting the female cause. Personal relationships become more important than the ostensible purpose of the organisation, and women are favored over men in every way possible and not inconsistent with the previous.

You people are nothing more than denialists over this. Fall down 08:20, 5 November 2008 (EST)

You're a really sad person Fall down & I truly feel sorry for you.

TOAST

^{and butter} 05:11, 5 November 2008 (EST)

Yes I am sad: sad about the sorry state of nearly everything in the world. Sad that no one listens to the truth. Fall down 08:20, 5 November 2008 (EST)

No, no, he meant "sad" as in pitiful, pathetic, worthy of contempt. That kind of thing. I have a leaflet, if you want to learn more. --128.238.35.14 16:27, 6 November 2008 (EST)

NO SHIT Fall down 16:14, 7 November 2008 (EST)

Ah! This is clearly some of the inspiring male-only philosophy that you mention in your essay! Gosh, it's very cunningly wrought, isn't it? I'm not sure I'll be able to wrap my head around it, to be honest, but thank you anyway for blessing an inferior female specimen such as myself with your erudite insights. Truly, I am blessed. --209.20.66.205 17:12, 7 November 2008 (EST)

Plenty of shit, Fall down - you're full of it.

Election

We missed you at the "party", but of course you were busy counting votes. How did that go? ħuman 14:15, 5 November 2008 (EST)

The work itself is a bit mind-numbing, but the whole experience was quite exhilarating. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 16:02, 6 November 2008 (EST)

Vacation for the next 23 months now, is it?

TOAST

^{and butter} 16:26, 7 November 2008 (EST)

You were a vote counter? How does that work? (and don't tell me that you start at one and move up from there) Corry^{Baby, you got a stew going.} 17:21, 7 November 2008 (EST)

Retarded Floating Box

Get rid of it, please. It's annoying me every time I go to this page. InaVegt 17:37, 7 November 2008 (EST)

Done. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 19:00, 7 November 2008 (EST)

You FOOLS!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (Gasp, Choke, Wheeze)

Thank you very much for your welcome! On a related note, WHY ON EARTH DID YOU SYSOP ME SO SOON? I'd only been a member for, like, 30 seconds! I could have been Bugler, or TK, or Ed, or Andy! I could have been some troll from Metapedia (I just read about them in an RW article that popped up when I was hitting the "random page" button. That site is probably one of the creepiest things I've ever seen in my life. Conservapedia looks positively cute after that) AND YOU'D NEVER KNOW! That could have been the first step in my insidious plot to control Rational Wiki! WHY, for the love of all things caprine? WHAHAHAHY?

I'm not quite myself today. Could you tell? A Writer of Vaudevilles 00:27, 8 November 2008 (EST)

The rules for sysopship are "mostly harmless." tmtoulouse 00:28, 8 November 2008 (EST)

Yeah, but it's that "mostly" that might get you into trouble...A Writer of Vaudevilles 00:51, 8 November 2008 (EST)

Yeah, we should wait at least 45 seconds. Even one minute... ħuman 01:04, 8 November 2008 (EST)

Well, it struck me as a good idea at the time. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:26, 8 November 2008 (EST)

Re: Er, welcome back?

Hi RA. I edit here on a sporadic, irregular basis, so I'm not part of the "ruling junta" here at RW. I do think this website is a good resource and counterweight to all the right-wing bullshit on the Internet though. --Wet Walnuts 00:22, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Vandalism pwn!

Good to see you still poke around here. 130.113.218.226 14:42, 17 November 2008 (EST)

I'm on an unofficial wiki-break, but I still check in on occasion. I'm taking the month to reevaluate my presence here, so look forward to either a resurgence or a permanent retirement at the start of December. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 14:52, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Wiki breaks are always good, I regularly disappear for time periods of weeks to months, helps keep things in perspective. tmtoulouse 00:35, 21 November 2008 (EST)

Arguably, I missed the conflict...

...so I have NO idea what it's about, but I can't imagine you ever being comparable to TK. You're a good guy, and welcome both here and at my own little site :). Please do what's best for yourself, but don't think you're unwelcome. Conflict happens, but you've done a lot of good here and would be missed.-caius (historian) 00:47, 21 November 2008 (EST)

Not TK, not by a long shot. Don't sweat the small stuff. Time off is always good, though, my few days in seminary helped balance a few perspectives. Perhaps you will at least come party with us on CP day (11/21 - now!)? Either way, Goatspeed to you. ħuman 02:42, 21 November 2008 (EST)

What was the conflict? Word word Phantom!

It is the start of December...

...and you are not here, as indicated above. This will not do. Get your ass back on the wiki or I'm sending some Large Men to have a little chat with you. They will make you an Offer You Cannot Refuse. PFoster 11:03, 7 December 2008 (EST)

Well he did say a month, and that was on 17 November. Give the lad time. -- Lily ^{Ta, wack!} 11:22, 7 December 2008 (EST)

No, he said "the month", clearly referring to the month of November. No reasonable person would disagree with this. So I agree with PFoster that his non-presence here is inexcusable. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 11:30, 7 December 2008 (EST)

Mayhap he's "got a life". I understand he's only young & should be out enjoying himself, not setting the world to rights here. _and marmite 11:35, 7 December 2008 (EST)

Please block User:Weaseloid. This rudeness, threats, and rude humor is not appriciated. Already he is making this site gain a reputation as worse than Conservapedia. Thank You --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^cat! 16:23, 16 December 2008 (EST)

Seriously are you just spamming everyone's talkpage with this? - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 23:06, 16 December 2008 (EST)

Maybe just the 89 sysops who haven't argued with him in public? I think I might block him/it for a few hours here and there just to shut it up... ħuman 23:24, 16 December 2008 (EST)
