To counter all the reasonableness blooming in this
thread, here is a bit of levity for comic relief (from
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Zoe&oldid=4223822 ):
"Actually, I'm Zoe <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zoe>. After Tim
Starling <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tim_Starling> discovered that I
had two admin
accounts, he tried to blackmail me - but I threatened to reveal that he
was
user:Michael<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Michael&…
been vandalising Wikipedia in order to gain support
to allow sysops to block logged in users - all part of his strategy to
overthrow Eloquence <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jimbo_Wales> and his
wife Jimbo <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eloquence>, in favour of a new
reign by a
crack team of vigilante sysops (this plan was foiled by the group now
known as the "arbitration
cabal<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitrators>"s>",
who threatened to go public that Jimbo
was in fact Elvis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis>, and engineered their
new power - you'll notice that the
number of arbcom people required to ban now follows the Rule of
Five<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism>sm>,
after we weeded out the inclusionist infiltrators) - chief amongst them
being his two sons: RickK <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Angela> and
Angela <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RickK> (Angela is the same person
as mav,
actually, and logs in to different accounts depending on whether he's sober
or not). This all came to a head in the famous
Gaia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia>outbreak
fnord <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fnord>, but the
*real* cause of that was suppressed of course). Obviously I had to
manufacture a quick exit from
Wikipedia<http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?ExitStrategy>for one of
my
accounts <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppet> to resolve
the problem, and since Zoe had been playing "bad cop" to my "good
cop"<http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?GoodCopBadCop>pBadCop>,
she was the right one to take the fall. I engineered a few bad judgement
calls, and then criticised them politely but firmly from this account, and
with a rather clumsly nudge or two from my collaborators, the rest was
far too predictable, and even Oliver P. couldn't stop it. Of course, I can
tell you all this now, because the AC is on the brink of immanentising the
Eschaton <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschaton>, and besides none of the
"Wikipedia establishment", the dupes,
will take this seriously (the WikiSex
incident<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowgirl_sex_position>was
carefully engineered to
lower the credibility of this account, and I controlled (directly or
indirectly)
all the accounts involved, and most of those in the deletion discussion).
