[edit] ==

Radioactive afikomen continues his crusade to purge every irrelevant article from the mainspace[1][2].
Radioactive afikomen then tries to make all well by offering a seven day respite from attacking Human, but screws up the date - really badly. Gets schooled by some random user.
Worse yet, Radioactive afikomen also makes an even more complete ass of himself at the Hitler and evolution talk page, and gets schooled for doing so.
Radioactive afikomen then proceeds to make an ass of himself on Human's talk page, while Human itself is apparently absent.
As often happens when a stone is disturbed, something slimy crawls out. This time it's Marcus Cicero. He plants a sarcastic comment on SusanG's page and a self promoting one on Human's.
SusanG reappears, and provides the most priceless reaction to Human's retirement.

In a shocking move, Human "promotes" himself and proceeds to blank his talkpage and userpage[3][4]. Is he pulling a Susan and leaving?

Oh noes!!! Human and RA are at war again over some joke or something and some category no one cares about[5]! Bender to the rescue! (2008-10-28/29)

Looks like things are back to normal—for now, at least. RA, surprisingly, elects not to continue the fight after being redemoted, and Human magnanimously decides not to pursue RA.

In a surprising move, 3.14159 rebureaucratizes Radioactive afikomen. Perhaps all hope is not lost—at least one of the bureaucrats is fair-minded.

The lessons learned here are clear. RA: even if you are in the right, as long as you engage in hysterics, the only thing people will see are the hysterics and not your reasons. Human: is God, and can do whatever the fuck he wants with no consequences whatsoever.

Gentlemen and gentleladies, the victor in this fight is clear: Human. Pinto's5150 rebureaucratizes Human and, just as Human did with Pink, "promotes" RA for punitive reasons[6]. Can Human's power be ever be challenged, now with the tacit support of other bureaucrats? Will anyone who directly challenges him be rebuked and quashed? Stay tuned for the fallout of the long-anticipated use of the nuclear option!

It's a long-awaited showdown of brute authority, between the most powerful editor on RationalWiki and the almost-second most powerful editor! RA engages the nuclear option and "promotes" Human! Will other bureaucrats respect RA's command decision? Or will everyone side with Human, simply because he's Human? Stay tuned for this epic showdown!

Human: I didn't use the word "issues"[7]. Uhm, yes you did (15th word in the paragraph).

The battle lines are drawn! Human: "I make up my own interpretation of site policy and enforce it![8]". Radioactive afikomen: Oh no, you don't[9].

Oho! A fight breaks out on Cayce Pollards talk page! Radioactive afikomen versus Human—who will win in this epic battle?

It's Human to the rescue, as he re-sysops Cayce against their explicit wishes! Forcing his interpretation of "site policy" down people's throats, even if they don't want it!

Human tars things he doesn't like as "vanity creations (by one user)". To date, all of Human's applications of the label have been inappropriate smear jobs—a "vanity creation" would be, say, creating a category for "articles written by User:Name", or any similar gratuitous enshrinement of oneself, an instance of which Human has yet to come across.

Human can delete whatever he wants with no input from anyone else. Also: [10][11].

Human makes up policy as he goes. Also, if it "isn't in such-and-such category yet", and it clearly should be, then why doesn't he effin' fix it?

After arguing with Pink, Human arbitrarily and unilaterally "promotes" her. He apparently fancies himself the arbitrator of all things, even in those which he has a gross conflict of interest (punishing the one you just fought with is hardly impartial or just). Fed up with his behavior, both Pink and SusanG go on strike and haven't edited since.

User:Godspeed makes a sizable addition to the birth control article, qualifying by any definition as a "major change". Javascap reverts it, explaining that it doesn't really fit in the article. Human evidently approves of Godspeed's edit and reverts Javascap's revert. The lesson: if Human decides he likes an edit, then it does not require input from the Mob.
