[edit] Best of RWW
This article meets a standard we should strive for all our articles to meet. I propose we add this article to category:best of RationalWikiWiki. Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 14:24, 16 April 2008 (CDT)
- No one has responded. I will procede unilaterally in this matter from here on out. Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 14:22, 24 April 2008 (CDT)
"Given RationalWiki's notoriously short-term memory, the past incident involving him is probably long forgotten by most users." - these seems to be total supposition, plenty of us remember the IDist mole.
"In his interactions with others, he seems to be as as agreeable and moderate as ever." - moderate and agreeable by what standards? Sure, he doesn't swear or complain when reverted, but "moderate" on RW probably doesn't include being a cdesign proponentsist. Human 20:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- "Moderate and agreeable" describes personality/temperament. In discussions, he does not troll, he does not engage in hysterics, and he is generally amiable. Hence, he is accurately described as "moderate and agreeable". Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 01:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- I've rephrased it. "moderate" & "agreeable" are both ambiguous. weaseLICIOuS Bite Me 11:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- I see it's been improved. Ungtss is a troll, so you're only 2/3 right. He's not moderate, he's a religious extremist. He is, however "agreeable" in that he (it?) does not throw tantrums. Human 04:56, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- I've rephrased it. "moderate" & "agreeable" are both ambiguous. weaseLICIOuS Bite Me 11:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- But the point is that he/it doesn't agree with people. I know that's not really what "agreeable" means here, but still ambiguous. & The concept of an "agreeable troll" is a bit of a paradox. Actually, I wouldn't go as far as calling Ungtss a troll, but I think other eds find him pretty agravating to deal with. Anyway, I changed the wording to "polite & persistent" as this sums up both traits. weaseLICIOuS Bite Me 13:26, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Science explaining everything
He has recently been spotted at A Storehouse of Knowledge, complaining about how science can't explain everything, which may mean that accusations of his pro-creationist stance were partly justified.
- That's interesting. Complaining that science can't explain everything means one is pro-creationist? God help Popper then ... Ungtss 15:27, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
