Talk:Social dynamics

From RationalWikiWiki

I know it's a WIP, but this piece would be stronger if it named more names, and provided some links for evidence. Also, a lot of sentences don't start with caps. I fixed a few. Human 04:02, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

It's a little bit confusing that some of these are general archetypes while others are obviously one specific individual (e.g. the Jimbo, the Wannabe). Others it's hard to tell: the Chill-the-fuck-outer starts by saying it's "a common facet of many people", then seems to be talking about one unidentified editor ("A hypocrite, this person never says this about efforts concerning Conservapedia..."). It makes it difficult for others to edit these sections if they don't know whether it's about a specific person and which one. weaseLICIOuS ^{Bite Me} 16:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree, but that's what happens with many authors. I corrected some wording on "The Jimbo" but some of the wording in the last two paragraphs was just too unclear so I left it. Apart from that it does rather reek of axe-grinding - but, as was suggested above, names and diffs would improve things. Perhaps cut out any parts which are overly generic and leave them here (on this page) until somebody is prepared to back it up with evidence and put it back in?--False Flag 17:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New one

The Bored Teenager? We've seen several lately. 17:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Several? CUR is the only one that comes to mind. 152.3.5.167 19:48, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Mei and The electrocutioner spring to mind. 21:11, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

1. Mei's a teenager?
2. Not on the same level as CUR

Theemperor 00:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

My thoughts: writing about CUR only makes things worse. Oh, yeah, this is RWW, making things worse at RW would be teh funny! human^{be in} 03:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm working on a system to classify CUR hysteria with a greater accuracy than HCM. Take a look, it's in my sandbox. Theemperor 04:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Let's see. . . The electrocutioner is definitely a bored teenager, Bored Teenager is definitely a bored teenager, and theemperor might be. Oh yes- Fall down classifies as one too. Mind, there's nothing bad per sa about being a bored teenager. (and you would be a bored person too if you lived in Missouri, with a population of 6,000 and absolutely nothing to do) --ConservapediaUndergroundResistor 19:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Why dont you go out and get laid CUR? Find a sexy wee tabby or tortise-shell and really let rip! Ace McWicked 04:35, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Probably because he's underage? (sorry, forgot cat years, so he's not!) 217.171.129.nn 06:23, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] The article is incomplete

...because I don't fit in any category. But let it be so. I'm unique. --Earthland 21:11, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

A cross between the oddball and the outsider, perhaps? InnocentBystander 14:38, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Pro-choice seems to RW's "official" position, so I'm not oddball. I do not create articles that "have more to do with my own hobbies and opinions than any of RationalWiki's missions".

I'm an outsider in the sense that I want to "press an agenda over one issue", but it's not the only reason why I'm editing Rationalwiki. Here are my contributions.

So, I'm still quite unique.--Earthland 17:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

If that's what you want to think. InnocentBystander 17:48, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

You're a type three outsider. "The third kind is a member there to press an agenda over one issue like Carptrash, Rembrandt.ryan, Radical feminist, Astrophilia, and Fall down." There ya go. Theemperor 22:38, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Where do I fall in the list? ListenerX^TalkerX 06:06, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

The fact you care enough to ask doesn't bode well for you in that regard. RationalwikiwikiUndergroundResistor 06:23, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit] How this could be cooler

1. Extensively revising it to eliminate bias
2. Integrating these designations on individual articles, perhaps in the stalkbox

Liveware Problem 03:47, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not good at editing templates, but I could try later. Tyrannis 13:52, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Once I have regular internet service again, I can get to work on this revamp. Until then, I think this article needs a de-RAification. In fact, if you ask me, this entire Wiki needs a de-RAification, and we need to look for leftovers from the long-absent creator of this Wiki. Punky McPunkersen 18:38, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

RA/HJ's been branding himself as the creator of the site?! Wrong, I am the site founder!!

This article needs work, right now it's just a list of groups while failing to provide examples. It definitely needs a revamp. Admin 19:19, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

So we just add a line to stalkbox or what? Tyrannis 14:09, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Sure. Do whatever floats your boat. As I've said before, this Wiki is small enought to where you can change things first and answer questions later. Punky McPunkersen 15:32, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not good with templates, I was asking how to edit it. Tyrannis 15:48, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Neither am I, but I can take a hack at it after I've had some sleep. Punky McPunkersen 16:00, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I can do it, but I don't think we should progress with this until the page itself is revised. Liveware Problem 20:44, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Very well. Tyrannis 20:57, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] The Chill-the-fuck-outer

The more I read this, the more I believe that the CTFOer is a particular individual that the original author had in mind. Buggered if i know who though. I'm starting to think the section could be removed, but a discussion ought to precede any precipitate action. Common sucari 18:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Whoever it was, I don't think they are there anymore. Feel free. Tyrannis 18:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

SirChuckB and Ace McWicked (and sometimes one or two others, depending on the situation) would, for a long time, appear during conflicts purely to admonish anybody arguing against the status quo to "chill the fuck out". The unspoken assumption being that those in favor of the status quo (aka Human) were simply victims of dastardly agitators and not at fault for vigorously defending their position. In short, the Chill-The-Fuck-Outers were a bunch of tools. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 19:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

It wouldn't be until Gooniepunk become more prominent that "chill the fuck out" actually came to mean "chill the fuck out" rather than "rabble-rousers should fucking shut up". Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 19:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

As long as I'm on the subject: Ace McWicked is really only as good as his environment lets him be. In the past year he's really mellowed out, but during the peak of Human's power in 2008, he could be a real cock. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 19:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

He shows up around here periodically, but edit his article. I am intrigued. Tyrannis 19:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Whatever RA, you knew nothing about me (back in 2008) apart from your preconceived notions of which you had yet to consider. I was only a complete cock to you because, ta-da, you were an uptight asshole that took every opportunity to admonish me for not being like you. You were an asshole. Ace McWicked 21:26, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm not really sure what to say beyond "Yes, I was." I apologize.

That being said, while I have the self-awareness now to realize I was an asshole, that doesn't change how bitter I feel (feelings are rarely rational like that). The next best thing I can offer is that you're welcome to contest anything I add to your article. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 23:06, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

It would probably be easier to make a list of RWns who aren't assholes. Tyrannis 23:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Bitter? Over a website? Dude, get a girlfriend/hobby/drinking habit. Ace McWicked 23:16, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Not all of us can be as awesome as you Ace. Tyrannis 23:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Err, what the? It has nothing to do with being "awesome" but everything to do with there being far more important things in life to be bitter about the machinations of a few fuckers rolling around drunk on website at 3am in the morning. Oh, and for the record RA - it isn't the RW environment has "mellowed" me out but my environment. Ace McWicked 23:38, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

It was mentioned a while back, I'll draft something up. Tyrannis^{An iron, yet caring fist} 21:41, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Why? What needs changing? The page is pretty well rounded, except for the Jimbo/Human thing--Brxbrx 05:24, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Utter Cringe

RA doesn't come out well from this. It reads as whiney and self serving. Lacking in real insight or depth. Oh how I laughed while reading this. How I laughed. 86.41.228.134 22:57, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Bully for you! Bob Soles 23:07, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

The best part is, I didn't even write it. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 23:13, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

And you have so much credibility on the matter after calling RWians Nazi rapist cunts. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 23:15, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Please show even one diff were I called anyone a rapist. I put an image of Joseph Fritzl in the article for Foster the Cruel, but that is merely suggestive. I engage in high minded parody, satire, and critical observation and for that reason I am maligned, my character denounced. 86.41.228.134 00:00, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

"high minded parody, satire, and critical observation"?? Hahaha, I freaking love your burger joint! You're like some kind of awful Comedy Central show. Nembus 00:06, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I dunno Numbus. I ate at his burger joint at one point. It almost made me consider becoming a vegan. Almost. Punky McPunkersen 14:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

You ate there, did you get yourself tested for AIDS afterwards? Armondikov 15:40, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Nice to know that Armondikov is militantly homophobic as well as being a disgusting and boring prick with little insight. 86.41.228.134 17:52, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
