As a confirmed mustard jar for taking on this job as a Sysop on RationalWiki: I pledge to only block users if they ask for it, or insert unfunny vandalism. I furthermore pledge that if I indulge in secret private conversations about you, we will make a formal report to the mob. Is that all?
If you impugn my motives without warrant, or challenge my "AUTHORATIE", er, there is nothing I can or will do.

[edit] Alert - Beware - Caution
Please keep in mind that some furniture have signed up here. Please treat them nicely as they become adept, and if things get rough, fall back on some trusty wax. They'll relax soon enough, and there's no point in making their experience more painful. Evidence so far indicates that the ones who decide to stick it out become very comfortable.

[edit] Writing plan
You had better have a writing plan before working here. Or not. It's probably better if you don't, actually. Much better. Fuck you, Ed. You're clueless.

[edit] To people who came from other wikiwackys and are outraged when RationalWiki "is just as bad"
- Drove up a newcomer in a covered wagon: 'What kind of folks live around here?' 'Well, stranger, what kind of folks was there in the country you come from?' 'Well, they was mostly a lowdown, lying, thieving gossiping, backbiting kind lot of people.' 'Well, I guess, stranger, that's about the kind of folks you'll find around here.' And the dusty gray stranger had just about blended into the dusty gray cottonwoods in a clump on the horizon when another newcomer drove up: 'What kind of folks live around here?' 'Well, stranger, what kind of folks was there in the country you come from?' 'Well, they was mostly a decent, hardworking, lawabiding, friendly lot of people.' 'Well, I guess, stranger, that's about the kind of folks you'll find around here.'"

[edit] Contributions
Aside from that comma I removed in the morning, only to work all afternoon and reinsert it? I tend not to keep track of articles I started or improved, that's just more work. Let's just say that I have attempted to wandalize almost every file I have come across, including your user page.
I made this in a moment of boredom: [1].
I tried to start a deeply disturbing Helena Bonham Carter meme on this site. After a brief time of glory, it got buried in a pile of rancid goat chunks.
OK, I have also started scores of articles, written most of a few dozen articles, made a bunch of userboxes, many handy templates, and uploaded more than a few scurrilous images, besides participating in numerous housekeeping chores. All too boring to list. And I'm too forgetful.
I started using the word "wandalize" to mean any edits whatsoever, but it turns to have been a previously coined word. Oh well.
I'm also pathetically trying to popularize the mocking spelling "homskollar", with some minor, partial successes here and there.
[edit] Bearly interesting
My favorite page on Constipatedia: [2].
Wondering what those biblical passages someone is throwing around really say?
If you're bored, http://www.conservatipedia.com can be amusing.

[edit] Liberals, defined!
"Are you saying they opposed classroom prayer, and supported taxpayer-funded abortion and same-sex marriage? That's what it means to be liberal today. I doubt your grandparents really supported these positions of today's liberals. If they did, then I'd respond that not even heroes are always right.--Aschlafly 22:25, 14 July 2008 (EDT)"[3] (emphasis mine)
Wow. Just, wow. Talk about your talking points...
[edit] Respect
"With all due respect, you seem to have taken closemindedness to new heights." - User:Aschlafly 13:27, 17 July 2008 [4]
With all due respect, of course.
[edit] Science in Andyland
You have it backwards, "Kallium". Lenski has the burden of providing "scientific rigor," and his paper falls short. In fact, the data presented in the paper tend to disprove his hypothesis about a mutation rate, as the mutations identified in his paper do not scale in a meaningful way with sample size.--Aschlafly 23:11, 22 July 2008 (EDT) [5]
Oh, you are so confused, Mr. Aschalfy!

[edit] Google bonging
"Google versus Conservatives"[7]
Many instances whereby information is comprised ideologically and displayed for the masses. Watchdog website NewsBusters.org published that Google had in fact labeled conservative American Spectator as "This site may harm your computer."
Illiteracy rulz!!!
[edit] Patriotism
It took Jpatt about eight edits to compose this masterpiece of illiteracy:[8]
The liberal belief that an individual can claim to support our military, just not the mission and still be considered a 'Patriot'. In fact, the exact opposite is the truth. A liberals patriotism, party-specific position, cannot support the troops if they are an a impediment to their political leftwing strategy. The main reason for this has to due with passionate, partisan hatred for our current commander n chief, the President of the United States of America. Liberals claim to support the military, claim not to support the mission and refuse to support the Commander. The extremist left discounts the counter effect of troop morale. Understanding the true liberal mindset when it comes to supporting our U.S. troops, observe the often tried protest march. Though frustration boils over, actions lead from protest to outright sabatoge or anarchism. Liberal credibility fails and lack of concern for the support of America shows. The leftwing cares so much for our military they condone and actually prop up politicians that abuse troops with reckless accusations[9], negative media coverage and ego trips[10]. Liberal protesters look the other way as war memorials are vandalized. Liberals protest our severely injured soldiers at the Walter Reed Medical Center.[11] Liberal protesters harass, damage or block military recruitment centers from operating business as-usual. [1] This leftwing position, the myth is successful in feeding media driven discontent and mediocrity shame. If the news is bad, a liberal is spoon fed. If the news is good, the spoon fed liberal is oblivious. e.g. "a complete suspension of disbelief".
Patriotism, to your brother, who volunteers and risks the ultimate sacrifice out of love, will never be diminished. True patriots will always be in our gratitude and held in the highest light.

[edit] JJacob's rampage
You know, Andy, I agree with you. It is a real tragedy how some delight in deceit. JJacob was clearly and obviously deceitful in the way he played you for a fool to earn his block rights. It's interesting that so many realized he was a parodist right from the start. His over the top sycophantic agreement with your every statement, no matter how ridiculous couldn't have been a more clear sign, yet you're so self deluded and convinced of your own righteousness that you were completly fooled.
The bigger tragedy, though, is that despite this clear evidence that you're so easily fooled and so capable of being fundamentally wrong that you will continue in the same vein with so many subjects (breast cancer and abortion, shaken baby syndrome, vaccination, etc). How much proof do you need, Andy? MexMax, Samwell, JJacob, TK, with Bugler still to come. So many people you've trusted because they told you that you were clever and that you were right. Who knew it was so easy to earn your trust? I've known golden retrievers who were more wary than you.
You'll surely delete this as a rant, but indeed this is something very different. It's called criticsm, Andy, something you insulate yourself from like an Eskimo from the cold. The difference is that the Eskimo is trying to protect himself from from something that would surely kill him if he were exposed. You do the equivalent of wearing Eskimo gear when it's 60 degrees out with a light breeze. Are your beliefs so fragile that you must stifle all those who would challenge them?
You parade around your BSE and JD initials so proudly. You must have had to stand a defense at some point to earn those credentials. And what have you done with them, Andy? You're the general council for a group held in extreme disregard by the medical and scientific communities, you've created a second rate wiki project that I'll admit had so much potential at the start but has long since turned into an ideological mouthpiece, and you ride your mother's coattails as a homeschool teacher for the Eagle Forum University. You know, I seriously considered taking a law degree after college, and I know that earning a Juris Doctorate is amongst the most difficult distinctions in academia. I've always held JDs in the highest respect because they're committed to intellectual honesty and academic rigor. You are the antithesis of those things. Imagine my disappointment the first time I saw those JD initials after your name.
This could go on a long time, it's already longer than I would have had it be when I started writing. Suffice it to say I've said my piece, and I'll have it noted that I've done so without any profanity or foolishness. You're certainly welcome to block the account, it was always meant to be burned anyway. I'll be moving in 2 days and I'll have a new ISP. See you on Saturday, Andy. COwens 23:42, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Bridges, burnt, condemned, and otherwise
"You resort to insults when you lack substance. One need not propose an alternative, or a solution, in order to identify a flaw. One may announce that a bridge is defective and should be closed prior to figuring out how it can be fixed, if indeed it can be fixed." -- Aschlafly 23:07, 24 July 2008 (EDT) [12]
Wha....? The second sentence makes sense, but Andy, the master of the bungled metaphor, chokes on the straw he grasped at. And yet, he thinks he is smert! ħuman be in 01:25, 25 July 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Pledges or not?
"Right. As to the Pledge issue, we don't need state schools to recite the Pledge.--Aschlafly 22:11, 26 July 2008 (EDT)"[13]
Uh, wha? - Fun to check the diff before and after...
[edit] On the teaching of history
"As a history teacher I have a duty not to teach nonsense to young minds, and that includes liberal nonsense designed to undermine the rightful place of Columbus in American history.-- Aschlafly 17:42, 3 August 2008 (EDT)" [14]
From the hilariously titled "American History Strategy" mainspace "article":
"Plan B: In the first class, teach the most common forms of liberal distortions:
- denial of Christian and conservative accomplishment
- denial of the adversarial nature of politics, government and world affairs
- promotion of liberal culture" (Aschlafly) [15]
Yes, definitely get the brainwashing done before any disagreeable facts get lodged there.
[edit] Oh, yes, the discourse is now levelled
[edit] A rant
This was on my CP user page:
Hmmm, since many others have stucketh they necks out and listed or written about their general outlook, especially as it relates to their presence here, so will I. I'm an atheist. I believe in society's obligation to help those less fortunate get ahead in life. I am one of the few people around you ever find who will say that they are actually pro-abortion (in my case, up to age of seven years). I think the universe is roughly 15 billion years old, and I think that is really cool. It blows my mind when I look up at a starry night sky. I think that clouds are made up of trillions of tiny water droplets embedded in an almost saturated solution of water vapor, and that when they rub together, the static electricity they create discharges as lightning, with the resulting superheating of the surrounding atmosphere producing what we call thunder. This blows my mind when I watch thunderstorms. I think Easter bunnies and eggs and Christmas trees are pagan traditions I find out of place now we know where babies and spring come from. Although, I still like to stand outside and get my bearings on equinoxes and solstices. Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry. I know why the sky is blue. I can grab the correct wrench after looking at a fastener, and can make 50 year old Otto cycle engines run like a charm. I know that the best way to eliminate weeds in a lawn is to keep it healthy with organic fertilizer, not with toxic weed'n'feed products. I think hemp (not necessarily the "good buzz" variety) is our best choice for producing renewable liquid fuel, and corn is one of the worst. I have given up on America's disastrous love affair with personal firearms - there are just too many out there to do anything about. I think the invasion of Iraq was quite possibly America's worst foreign policy disaster to date. I fear that Bush 43 and his "team" might manage to do something worse, however. I started productively editing conswervapedia when I realized that there was no need whatsoever to provide sources, so I can just write what I know. I think it is hilarious that the best contributors on Conswerapedophiliavapedia tend to be liberals, and the worst debaters and least productive editors tend to be YEC neo-con sysops. Speaking of pedophilia, I am appalled that Cardinal Law (archdiocese of Boston) is free and working in Rome, when he should be in jail for the rest of his life. Speaking of life sentences, although Christianity would be missing a major "miracle" without it, I am utterly opposed to the death penalty in any form - I just don't think the State should ever have the power to take the lives of its citizens. 19:57, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
[edit] PC, I mean, "political compasses"
You'll find me a bit lower and to the left of the Dalai Lama. Great company, I think. This one comes from politicalcompass.org (the link is in the userbox), and is based on a fairly intensive questionnaire. Hence the fairly accurate results.
"LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles."[17]
I think this one comes from the site that tries to convince everyone that they are a libertarian, and perhaps even a Libertarian. Or was that a Librarian?
[edit] Ancient History
If you got one of these, it meant you were naughty:
This user is no longer active on Conservapedia.
Block 1: Courtesy of TK, MayDay 2007 for two hours. For recreating a Sysop-deleted page (accidentally) and "parody". My bad :(
Block 2: Courtesy of Conservative, May 6 2007 for a month (reduced to time served, about 24 hours). For Vandalism by Wholesale Deletion. Very careless of me.
Block 3: Courtesy of Ed Poor, May 13 for two hours. For "anti-project propaganda".
Block 4: Banned, courtesy of TK. For "Sock/Vandal/Icewdg gang." (Note: by then, "Icewedge" was already a banned text string at confusedfumbleassedlyingstupidpedophilia.)
- GUESS WHAT? I'M BA-A-A-A-CK. Not that I can do anything controversial, like add "truth" where they have "lies"... dang.
