Theemperor, later Thedictator and then Theautocrat, (AKA Dear Leader and Glorious Leader) is a RationalWiki bureaucrat.[5] Javascap promoted him to bureaucrat on 2 March 2009; however, his reign was short lived, as RA balked at his lack of experience and promptly demoted him.[6] Recently, he was promoted to bureaucrat again following a somewhat listless Saloon bar poll.[7]

[edit] Theemperor and Marcus

In mid December 2009 and shortly after the fallout from MarcusCicero's series of troll attacks cooled off at RW, Theemperor made a somewhat surprising post at ASK in which he asked none other than Philip J. Rayment to mediate.[8] It is printed below in full.

You seem to be a reasonably intelligent and sane man. Even though you do not like to participate at RW, may I request that, as an uninterested party, you take a look at what is going on at RW with User:MarcusCicero, and tell us what you think about the whole thing. Since everyone there seems to have an agenda to push, having an unbiased view from someone who has little to no interest about RW would be very helpful in resolving the problems we are facing, since we are basically being torn apart at the seams by this. Of course, you could always refuse, if you like. Theemperor.

It is interesting to note that:

  1. Theemperor and Marcus have always had an especially abusive relationship.
  2. Some sock users take pleasure in abusing their socks.
  3. The controversy raised by MarcusCicero was dying out and Theemperor's post looked like an attempt to reignite the debate.
  4. Some users at ASK seem to have followed a similar line of thought and concluded that the two users are one and the same. [9]

At any event, although PJR showed some slight interest in the issue (he was barely able to contain his glee at the idea that RationalWiki was being "torn apart at the seams"[10]) it was treated with disdain by the rest of the RW users at ASK.
