Resummoning Holy Moment

[W. Rabbit]

I appreciate the offer, but I think maybe it's better I don't. If there's any information worth sharing from that thread, and if the mods think this is worth doing, they can presumably clue me in. Better still, if a Wikipedia expert were also a paid member, they could just read the thread.

I already did.

Forget it.

It's not needed, or desirable.

[The Cap]

I wasn't kidding about this. It looks like the article was deleted in 2010. This was its fourth nomination, which suggests to me that a clique of Wikipedos was out to get the article.

Yeah, a wikipedio with a (I'm assuming) TMA born vendetta made every effort to fight the existence of the page. The fact that simply hanging around editing shit a lot, without being a useful contributor on any subject, gave that guy the resources to torpedo actual factual contributions is the reason I will never again donate to that site.

Well, yeah. Wikipedia is a multiplayer video game. The objective is to delete other users' pages while preserving your own. You get bonus points for convincing people you're an expert in fields you know nothing about.

It is against Wikipedia policy to inquire into an editor's claimed credentials.

As one of the few people who actually makes valuable edits to Wikipedia based on validated Bullshido content...it's hopless, and you know how I rarely give up on a quest.

You have no idea the crusade I went through to get the article fixed.

But the Lords of Wikitext are Legion, humourless, and cruelly power-mad; being presented on "Jeopardy!" wasn't good enough. Being mentioned once in a non peer reviewed academic work wasn't either. A couple mentions in court? Farts in the wind. But I did try.

If you really want to know, it's a matter of notability. Bullshido's referencial valence is simply too low to pass muster. For that to change, we would need more secondary and tertiary sources.

[Holy Moment]

Fuck, it turns out that Kurt Pellegrino actually stole my friend's phone. Looks like we're going to have to raid his house.

I blame Micah for this entire situation, so he's coming with us.

Hey, I was right!

Wikipedia is a multiplayer video game. The objective is to delete other users' pages while preserving your own. You get bonus points for convincing people you're an expert in fields you know nothing about.

I called it!

it's hopless,

Well, obviously that's tough on a rabbit. HAW HAW HAW

and you know how I rarely give up on a quest.

I see you do little else. Aside from ban-evading and begging the mods here to undo your bans, you seem to have little or no resiliency.

You have no idea the crusade I went through to get the article fixed.

"Fixed"? It's gone, dude. You are trying to bandage a corpse.

But the Lords of Wikitext are Legion, humourless, and cruelly power-mad;

This is absolutely true.

being presented on "Jeopardy!" wasn't good enough. Being mentioned once in a non peer reviewed academic work wasn't either. A couple mentions in court? Farts in the wind. But I did try.

All bantz aside, it sounds like you did everything that could be done.

If you really want to know, it's a matter of notability. Bullshido's referencial valence is simply too low to pass muster. For that to change, we would need more secondary and tertiary sources.

That's probably true. Certainly it is the reason they will cite. I further suspect that they would find other excuses if that one ever failed. Once the Wikipedo clique has set its face against something, they will not generally reverse themselves.

Pellegrino's nickname is the "Belmar Batman." Logically, that means we should all dress up like Batman villains when we raid his lair.

I know who I'm going as:

[W. Rabbit]

A Facebook account I control has been posting there. What does my real name have to do with it? Wabbit claims that he can identify people by writing style. If that's true, this should be easy for him.

Since that account does not bear my real name, he won't be outing me by identifying it.

Of course not. I don't need to.

I had it terminated.

[AprilRains]

Of course not. I don't need to.

I had it terminated.

That was a sock account I used to troll you. I knew you'd snitch on it. You're a tattletale.

The account I'm talking about, you can't find. You cannot back your boast. You are lying.

Well score one for Rabbit anyway.

You used a fake FB to troll or harass his FB account, and he had the fake FB account terminated.

What is the difference between that and the crap Rabbit pulls, again?

My "trolling" consisted of recommending that he consider making his own martial arts forum. It was a serious suggestion. He could run things his way.

[AprilRains]

Let's see, what are some other differences?

I didn't pretend that this user account was a separate person who was totally supporting my opinions.

That account had not been banned at the time I began the conversation with Wabbit. It wasn't some tenth attempt at forcing my way into a forum. In fact, if Wabbit had asked me to stop talking to him even once, I'd have done so.

I wasn't wasting the time and attention of a whole forum. I was suggesting a course of action that might have stopped him from being such a nuisance here.

Come to think of it, that's a lot of differences.

Simple, really.

You don't HAVE to be yourself on Bullshido. Many here aren't that comfortable. Bullshido is the Masquerade, and part of the fun of the ball here is to coax people into comfortably self-unmasking and creating real life friendships (with some occasional real life meshugaas), which for people like myself is a joy. I have, in fact, watched you change your personality here several times, from a grumpy coach advocating for kids' brains (oyes oyes!) to a total Thomspon freakazoid worthy of 1971 Las Vegas. More power to thee.

On Facebook, one identity is literally the only option. One identity. Facebook is the true cyberprison in this regard. And there is little between you and the next viral humiliation, cancellation culture annihilation, or worse, Kiwi Farms Proving Ground.

FB eliminated nearly 4 billion accounts this year.

0 of those were mine. #winning.

[AprilRains]

So you're singing Facebook's praises? I think ghost is right about you. You're a real bootlicker.

However, this is just you trying to distract from a simple point. You claim to be able to identify users by their writing styles. I challenged you to identify my Bullshido-connected Facebook account. You cannot do so, and will not. You lied.

Stop claiming abilities you don't have. Why do that here, of all places?

Most of us are careful to be honest in our claims, to reflect on ourselves and make sure we are what we say we are. You are a pathological liar and braggart who can't deliver on any boast.

You don't know my name.

You don't know my location.

You aren't a scientist.

You aren't an engineer.

You aren't a stylemetrics expert.

STOP LYING.

[W. Rabbit]

It's "stylometrics".

And I think this is really about you being sad and lonely during the holidays.

Your dime, kiddo. I'm here for you.
