Right, well, I don't think that's the sense in which Larry intended the term. (Nor did he intend it in the sense of "anarchocapitalism".)
Not in the other sense of nihilist "I can do whatever I want, let's go blow some stuff up, yay!"
I think this is more or less the sense he intended. I think a good way to put it would be "I'm opposed to all standards! Isn't random crap just as informative as so-called thoughtful articles anyway?"
As long as you are here to enforce the banning policy you just posted, I am happy with the status quo as it is. It really can take a while sometimes to figure out if someone is sincerely trying to work with us, or just yanking our chain.
I'm going to continue to be guilty of waiting a bit too long.
Thank you for your time and patience working on the Wikipedia, Jimmy.
Oh, I don't do nearly as much as most of the regulars. My job is to sit here and reflect on what people are saying, and then to repeat it in such a way that it seems like I thought of it. ;-)
As Linus Torvalds likes to say "I'm basically a very lazy person who likes to get credit for things other people actually do."
