The Two Faces of Ed Poor

Ah, good ol' Ed Poor - user 188 on Wikipedia, as he always tells everybody. Of course, he somehow neglects to mention the fact that he overstepped his authority there and was summarily stripped of his rights., reducing him to a mere, point-of-view-pushing peon. (After due process was followed of course - not on a whim, as it's done on CP.) Needless to say, somebody who loves abusing authority feels right at home on Conservapedia., where Ed is one of the sysops. Here he displays his complete ignorance of mathematics (he applies the "if-I-can't-understand-it-I-delete-it" method of editing), extreme homophobia and racism, misogyny (his article on CP entitled "Women wearing Pants" has to be read to be believed) as well as being CP's token Moonie. condron.us

Conservative Compassion?

Here's a quick little thought for you out there. Most of us, when a colleague suffers a loss, tend to rally around them and offer sympathy and support. One would think that this is a common human trait.


Not, however, on Conservapedia and certainly not where Terry Koeckritz is concerned. No, there they (and he) use it to score points in what is ultimately only the Internet, after all. (Although all conservatives seem to feel they are "under attack"; "surrounded" and "it's time to fight back". Hopefully, Obama will start rounding the treasonous little scumbags up and line them up against a wall, like the socialist dictator they claim he is. (I have names and addresses for his storm-troopers, when that happy day dawns).

Deceit, thy name is Terry Koeckritz

Before I launch into this edition, there's probably a few items I need to clarify.


The first is the concept of "oversight". One of the "nice things" about a wiki is that it keeps a history of all the edits made to various pages. The only way this history can be erased is by deleting and re-creating the page in question - something Conservapedia's admins are very good at doing. This is especially true of talk pages, where even if awkward questions are reverted, there's still a trace of it in the history.
