[edit] About User:Anchoress
- My favourite way to contribute on Wikipedia is copyediting. I do create articles, but they're mostly stubs cuz I hate red links.
- I'm not keen on doing a lot of initial work on articles, because the more I put into them the more emotionally attached I get to them, and that's not a good thing. Also I'm lazy.
- On the other hand, I hate articles I stumble upon that people wrote off the tops of their heads, just to get something up, so I try to only include sourced info in my stubs.
- If I feel like doing some cleanup, I go to the Canadian message-boards first, cuz I prefer to contribute there.
- The page I visit the most often is the Penis page. Isn't that an awesome picture???
- My YahooIM is anchoresse. Feel free to chat me for whatever reason. I'm almost always on. :-)

[edit] My first abusive email (I'm so excited!!)
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 01:10:40 GMT From: Cjwright79 <-----------> To: Anchoress <----------> Subject: Uh!
Lawful Good? What a sham. It's also a shame that I have to live in the same country as you.
I suggest you remove your head from your ass and kindly resolve the matter of my being banned in a sensible and just manner. I see that virtually every administrator of Wikipedia is corrupt and intellectually lazy. You see the rules as being able to be molded into whatever you want them to be. Of course, this works perfectly. Except I'm sick of this bullshit.
Regardless, I have no interest in continuing this silly escapade.
The individual who said that I was taking the 'long, slow piss' out of everyone is quite right. I'm sending you fine folk this message: your sham reign is over. I will not go away. Your illegitimate and entirely evil ways will not be ignored. I haven't attempted to talk to Jimbo yet, but that's definitely becoming an option.
Thanks much,
Best regards! =) Chris (AKA Cjwright79 (talk • contribs) )

- Co-opting a redirect or disambig page = WIKISQUATTING (Anchoress)
[edit] Are you a cocksucker? I am! (From Lou franklin's talk page:)
Thanks! For turning me on to the Societal attitudes towards homosexuality article! I would never have known about it if it hadn't been for you, and I certainly would never have visited the page if I hadn't known it had the word cocksucker in it. A Google search of 'wikipedia "lou franklin" cocksucker' returns 9 different pages on Wikipedia, so thanks for spreading the word about us cocksuckers! You're doing a better job than we could ever do! With the 9 extra references to the word on Wikipedia because of you, those fragile 14 year olds are much more likely to come across it!

[edit] Re: Courtney Akins' Permaban
I was going to post this on the AN/I board, but I thought better of it. BUT I think well enough of myself that I want to preserve it:
- What will her coterie of chevaliers gallants do with all their extra free time? Now that they're not scouring the net for olde englishe spellings and fixing her archives? Don't mind me. It's just the oxygen deprivation getting to me. I've been holding my breath since she posted about me uploading a pic of myself getting buggered. :-) Anchoress 04:06, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
