It’s not the way that you caress and toy with my election…

(with apologies to Erasure)

Let me start off by saying that I really admire Andrew Schlafly. It takes a very special man to consistently ignore reality, facts, common sense and informed opinion in order to hang on to whatever idea has popped into what passes for his mind.  It takes an even more special man, to – when confronted with irrefutable evidence that he was wrong all along – alter his own reality, in order to keep up the pretence that he was right all along.

Actually, now that I think about it, “special” isn’t the right word. “Fucking insane lying deceitful full of shit lunatic” probably expresses it better. And you can’t help but admire his continuous ability to act like a fucking insane lying deceitful full of shit lunatic, and still get to eat his dinner with something other than a plastic spoon.

How to treat editors, part umpty-ump

I've blogged before about how badly editors on Conservapedia are treated. It's basically a case of "we think you're a liberal parodist, until you prove otherwise, and even then we won't believe you." Plus you're also fair game for the many parodists who have earned blocking rights by acting as Andrew Schlafly's echo chamber. Even worse, you might find yourself blocked, because the sysops have no idea how checkuser works and no comprehension that two or more users could have the same IP address. Then again, most of those blocks are by Terry Koeckritz, who's probably in need of sexual gratification at the time.

Free Speech 1, Conservapeda 0

Good news - seems that despite the best efforts of John Patti (no doubt guided by the slimy hand of Terry Koeckritz) this blog is still alive and kicking. So much for that little storm in a teacup. Many thanks to everybody for your support, it's greatly appreciated on this side, and now I'm more determined than ever to keep on "digging the dirt on the insanity that is Conservapedia" for my loyal readers. Although this time round there may be fewer personal remarks. Maybe.

Conservative Censorship

Interesting, it would appear as if there's one bunch of people who aren't very happy with me (I wonder who that could be?), and have approached WordPress to have the blog taken down. (Truth hurting a bit there, boys?). I've replied to WordPress, providing the full difflinks which back up any and all statements I've made on here, so we'll have to wait and see.

At the worst I expect a slap on the wrist for calling the morons morons, as I am not making any unfounded or libellous statements.

The Tradegy of Conservapedia

I admit, I've been lax in my updates, but to be honest, writing about the same old stuff (Andrew Schlafly spouting nonsense, Terry Koeckritz lying through his teeth, etc) is becoming about as appealing as gargling with drain cleaner. Still, I live in hope that something juicy will crop up. Given how Andy's been gloating about the Conservatives winning the upcoming UK election, there might be something there next week. At the very least, his ridiculous comments about Britain being "the land of atheism" deserve challenging.

More sauces

Because you can never have too much sauce. Well, that's what the school dinner lady used to tell me... after school... behind the bike shed. Was years before I realised "sauce" was something you put on food.

Or in this case, a pun on the provision of information. Now, I've seen that since my last posting (and I apologise for my silence since then), Terry Koeckritz has been running around denying that he was the source of the sauce, if you get my drift. So be it. We all know he's as capable of honesty as Liberace fathering triplets. Still, it was amusing watching him stumble about like a bear with a sore arse, mumbling incoherent threats about lawsuits. Not to mention the bizarre plot he hatched with fellow sysop Rob Smith over on Wikipedia's Conservapedia article.

Sauces

In the spirit of openness (and many requests) I've decided to share my sources from Conservapedia's Zeugloden Blues chat room. Think of it as my birthday present to you, Constant Reader. I've sat on these for a while, firstly to protect the identity of the sysop who provided me with the info and secondly, because I didn't think there was that much in there that was interesting.

However, I've since decided that Terry Koeckritz is a lowlife scumbag who doesn't need protecting and I thought you'd like to read at first hand just what a bunch of nasty, narrow-minded, bigoted, paranoid people are running Conservapedia.

So, without further ado - happy reading.
