Quote of the week: "I've never been in any relationship where a guy had his hand krazy-glued to the 'drama knob' as much as Jimmy. It was like clinging to the back of a roller coaster." note
"Shoot on sight." J. Wales 20 October 2007
Gee..that kind of language could lead to misunderstandings. It kind of reminds me of what somebody else once said: ""I don't have the answers. I only know the choices, which are grim: Give in and accept the incest, kill the abuser, or grab the kids and run." And as the blood was spurting out of Arlen Slobodow's leg, he was wondering how many more minutes he had to live. I bet that when Dr. Morgan goes to church and prays, the thanks God in Heaven that neither bullet found the femoral artery of Arlen Slobodow left thigh. They missed by only a small amount of distance. If either bullet had found the femoral artery, then Allen would have seen a fountain of blood and realized that he was kaput because then he would only have about 120 seconds to live get to the phone, crawling along because his shattered femur did not work very well for the purposes of walking…. I wonder why Jimmy forgot about that. Should I bring protection along to the next WikiMeet I attend, just one of his dumber adolescent power-mongers "misunderstood" him in an insincere manner?
Note that Rachel has been putting up with this for over a year.

List of Wikipedians by FA nominations - one of the few real measures of "knowledge sharing" merit. Note that Hurricanehink has developed a scheme for mass-producing FA's on hurricanes by simply indexing the standard NOAA source and providing dull, boilerplate verbiage. He has surpassed Emsworth, who specialized on Renaissance English nobility.

On to the "rogue admin" gallery…
I really appreciate Daniel Brandt's hivemind page at wikipedia-watch.org , but much more is needed. Real world identities are needed. The
identities should be obvious and prominently displayed including zip code if not address.
Note: Most of these people, with the exception of SlimVirgin, have never written an FA that lasted. They are just in it in order to have control over somebody else. It is difficult to estimate how many of the slender and young females are Jimmy's former skanks and "Bomis Babes".
The males act as Jimmy's Internet gophers, much as these
*Scientology crazy followers
*Scientology security guys
*John Sweeney stalked by Tommy Davis - in Wikipedia-town (Clearwater, FL)
They are all fans of "Revert, Block and Ignore", the classic psychology of little girls who insist that they have a secret that you are just dying to know. They are possibly all products of public school, where learning is irreversibly blended with petty, drab, municipal authority.
Most wanted Scientology, er… Wikipedia anonymous administrators:

- Sannse for another profoundly depressed and over-privileged female at Wikipedia.
- Geni (2004 self-nom for admin passed, but 2008 self-nom failed). Log, emergency! E2, hesitation.

- JzG - http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/JzG http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk . Very intrusive with little to offer and unproductive in terms of his own encyclopedia writing of new material. Should switch his hobby to Scouting where he can talk all night to his Boy Scouts.

Systematic "Amway" pressure tactics:
Obviously, the theory is that anyone with a
high edit count should be pressured into the politics of being an administrator rather than simply being a quality individual contributor.
