Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 19:23, 29 July 2011

User:Scott MacDonald blanked a previous version of this page due to WP:NPA concerns. I didn't hear about or follow this case at all, but I think this MickMacNee made some cogent points in that comment, and discussions that are worth continuing, so I'll take the liberty of restoring some portions that make some good arguments. I've left in a few what look like "non-personal attacks", I understand if someone disagrees on the particulars of what can be kept within policy - the point is, there are good criticisms here among the rest.

Wish ya hadn't left. Now this project is gonna become more stale. GoodDay (talk) 00:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm not leaving …… I'm being kicked out on my ear for being a Very Bad Man, as judged by the committee, who seemingly earn their pay for doing what your average … ANI … can manage in 0.00001% of the time it takes them to 'investigate' issues when presented with complex interactions that take more than 5 minutes to figure out. ………… Come on then my 'friend's help me out of this one, give me some advice on …… whether …… is going to get this fucking site built any faster by people like me, the grafters, the people who know how to write fucking articles and started out doing just that all those years ago, and who through years of dedication by now not only know the wording of the policies backwards, but what they fucking mean too. Thanks to this joke of an outcome, I've just fucking deleted 97 user pages, that's more half finished material than most of my critics will ever manage to write in their lives, but did you ever see me once use that in my defence? …… I'll only lower myself to rants like this to give you some easy pickings because I know how much you feel left out if you don't get to make your 5 minute judgements, because …… you'll never be able to point to an actual situation and say there, that's where he damaged the site, that's where he scared off an actual n00b or actual productive well mannered editor, that's where he unjustifiably gave an innocent bystander grief, that's where he didn't know what the fuck he was talking about. You carry on pussy footing around ………… You do all that, but you won't find you'll reverse the current trend in the loss of real editors who make productive edits of the manual, thought out, kind, any time soon. It makes me laugh when people say all the easy articles have been written and we're entering a maintenance phase where drop off is natural. Those people … need to ask for a refund on their schooling. There's tons of work still to be done, and tons more shit to be removed like the burgeoning recentist shit pile that is our ever-growing aircrash news report database which is oddly enough missing 95% of crashes from the whole of aviation history, because fucking shock horror, they didn't all prove to be notable beyond the news reporting, and our actually very good guideline, like many others, is routinely ignored as far as what it actually says, or worse, misrepresented by … who cannot manage to ever give an argument beyond the many examples given in WP:ATA, and think they have a right to have their stupidity weighed equally with everybody else here. …… This site is getting worse and worse at allowing proper work to be done, and proper debates to be had, and to be properly concluded, free of the self interest and downright incompetence that you can see ten-a-penny in places like that aviation porn farm, and more importantly, to the letter and the spirit of actual policies and guidelines, not what … wants to pretend it says while he hides behind his mother's apron strings, otherwise known as WP:CIV. And here's a fucking newsflash, it's not me that's the problem in any of that. You'll get the fucking site you encourage with your inaction and incompetence, especially all you cowardly fucking admins who won't go near closing a discussion like the banknote NFCC overuse Rfc for fucking months so that it fucks off into the archive unresolved, yet you have the brass fucking balls to repeat personal attacks on me about what you think but just can't be bothered to prove I have or haven't done to the … whose running around making claims about what policy says, that the Rfc showed were fucking activist driven fantasy bullshit grounded by the sort of retarded ideas like somehow an article becomes more 'free' with 1 properly justified non-free image in it instead of 10. If that sounds logical to you, if that sounds like something anyone with any competence in the matter might say in support of your pea brained thoughts if only they cared enough about your peon ass to indulge your every query, I repeat, go ask for a refund on your schooling … That's probably why you're the … giving your opinions on such things for free on this shitty website as if they were fact, while other people get paid for it in the real world, the people who to this day ignore your various appeals to step in. Don't get me wrong, I'm no NFCC campaigner despite what people like to claim, in reality it probably forms 5% of my interest here, but there's incompetences and abuses like that all over this mental institution some poeple are trying to claim is a professional environment, going unchecked by the very people being feted as the members of high standing. Some are even active participants. Still, as if you've even had the fucking sense to read this far. If you have, go tell Jimbo he's a thief and that I want my four years back.

That was a fun read. Hope real life treats you better than Misplaced Pages has. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 03:27, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I am so very sorry, MickMacNee. With Utmost Respect, Tiyang (talk) 14:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

MickMacNee, would you consider uploading those "97 articles" to www.wikialpha.org? Wnt (talk) 17:48, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Please restore the whole text. The original deletion of it, and now this "editing of it" is deplorable. We are grown ups here, aren't we? Anyways, it' still available in the history. The Skywatcher and me (talk) 19:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
