As for Philippe, he doesn't know what "hyperbole" means. Hyperbole is an extravagant exaggeration used to make a point. "I've told you a million times." What Jim did at WO (if you accept it was meant that way) is "facetious." Facetious is a useless, unfunny comment presented as if it were humor.Mutineerhttp://wikipediasucks.boards.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329851028618436.post-65256520084110743822015-12-29T23:30:32.168-08:002015-12-29T23:30:32.168-08:00I find this rather amusing.

Far from operating one, James Alexander was a frequent proponent of requiring staff to disclose socks, and led the way in efforts to assure staff accountability with accounts. Your hypothesis is amusing, but incredibly off-base. (And, the link to me on wikipediocracy that you mention seems fairly clearly to make a hyperbolic point, which you seem to have missed - for the record, to my knowledge, I have never actually communicated with that Wikipediocracy user). I can say with supreme confidence that the theory being pushed here is, quite frankly, wrong. In short, terrific writing, great addition to the fantasy genre.<br /><br />Philippe<br />(PS - my title was "Director, Community Advocacy", not Community Relations Director).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02568015361365654072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329851028618436.post-60321725173837823322015-12-28T20:46:43.209-08:002015-12-28T20:46:43.209-08:00My reference of disappointment was to Eric's p...My reference of disappointment was to Eric's post above (metasonix).

Funny you forgot to mention that the delusional management of Wikipediocracy made that giant waste of skin a member of their seekrit Campaign Room. To do what exactly? Nobody knows.

And no one cares, because he's an "insider". <br /><br />I can practically guarantee he's also violated other "policies" in the past with impunity. Once you're in, it's like a youth gang, it's for life. And you can't do wrong; unless you "betray the gang's trust" in some way. Outsiders are always fair game.metasonixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13224183744460116842noreply@blogger.com
