Wikipedia Editing Scandal Continues

Pringlegate Diary, day 90.

I feel good that I have pwnd* a race 'bater and gotten him off Wikipedia for the time being. Plus he will be happier going off to bund meetings instead of editing.

Go ahead and check out my contribs to the Wik. I think by searching a person's entry contributions, one could easily assess the cut of their gib. I have too few entries for an accurate assessment. Too few nodes, as William Gibson might write. That's good. Some people leave their grubby keyprints all over because even tiny claims to fame are few and far between.

In this world, some people have a calling to plant semicolons between every word and twice between clauses. And some people have blood that boils when they hear someone whisper "semicolon." When these people try to pwn* each other in the Wikipedia community they are having a great time or at least they are into it. "Semicolon" can stand in for whatever you're on about -- the Pope, Gay Porno stars, Republocrats, the Falklands, or whatever.

Just don't mess with Pringles. I will tear your asshole a new asshole! Or perhaps probably I will just pwn* you with a message on your ip address page -- something somewhat scathingly direct and terse!

*pwn
This word is Welsh and not Nerd. I have been using it my whole life. It is pronounced like "poon" and I have no idea why computer users are using it now. In Welsh it means to make someone a nerd. Computer users using it is a lot like n-worders using the n-word.
