User:LeonardM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, hello & whatever to all in WikiLand. I'm a 45y/o nurse and am currently using my userpage for a sandbox. I'm totally on the Up&Up and if anybody would like to cross verify Identities with me as a condition of goodwill write LeonardM at nanotreasures@yahoo.com. This is a project I've started after checking the WikiMedia mission statement, reading WikiCatholic church and others.
I like it; I'm in; ...........and I am of one consensus with the NPOV
I expect an article like this to be subject to vandalism, so I'm not in a big hurry to commit it to namespace. I need to learn a whole lot more about Wikipedia in general and Trolls in specific. I also need to seek some consensus allies to help me with it. All this takes time and I am very new here.
As is traditional, I neither confirm nor deny that I am actually involved in a 12step recovery fellowship.
NOTE: This is meant to be constructive comedy if you feel upset about it, I suggest you go to a meeting or call your sponsor, OK?

WikiRecovery: Trolls neutral Anonymous
Hi, my name is *your name* and I'm a troll.
For the record, Trolling is alot of fun! I get quite a charge out pushing the buttons of -Sheep- and watching them jump (especially if they have fancy degrees and such!) In fact, Trolling is so fun that it can be addictive. I can start Slashing just for the Jazz (even content with lame slashing). I can get kicked off boards again and again; for the sole purpose of finding new&creative ways to get back on them. I can disregard the POV's of others, see people as mere objects for my pleasure and forget to seek consenus.
This is the reason for WikiRecoveries: "TnA" or Trolls-neutral-Anonymous.
Trolls-neutral-Anonymous is a society of Humans for whom Trolling has become a problem. We seek to channel our playfull mentalities to the betterment of the Wikipedia and resist Flaming thereon. (though we imply no such assurences to rest of the Internet)
Human mythololgies are fraught with stories of Tricksters and some speak highly of their value. I believe this is true. Their is one such story in Senneca mythology that speaks of a great chief with tangled hair. He wasn't allways so great though. blaha.. It's is to that chief and those that would emulated his life that this article is dedicated.
The 12 Steps of TnA.
- We admitted obsessive slashing, that our userspace had become disreputable.
- Came to believe in a meta that could restore us to a TrueNPOV (this allows for percieved dissent from NPOV
- Made a decision to trust the PowerOfChaos to straighten out everyone elses B*llSh*t. (including Jimbos) (*not that Jimbo actually has any BS to straighten, but some trolls are total suckers to challenge PowerStructures.*and a stark invitation to some sort of mysticism*)
- Made a searching and fearless assessment of our own POV.(something most rarely do, in my opinion)
- Admitted to ourselves and another human being the real diffences between our POV and NPOV.
- Became entirely ready to let the PowerOfChaos unite us to a TrueNPOV. (maybe many trolls are wannabe anarchists? and a stark invitation to *some sort of mysticism*)
- Humbly assented to the PowerOfChaos in our actual postings.
- made a list of all persons we had slashed and became willing to seek consensus with all of them.
- sought consensus with such persons, except when to do so would lead to a PostingWar(?)
- Continued to examine our own POV and fearlessly admitted when it needs an upgrade.
- sought through heated dialogue and discussion to trust in the PowerOfChaos, content in the strength of Concensus to evolve the TrueNPOV.
- Having become a POV-warrior and feared Encylopediast as a result of these steps, we seek to carry this message to Trolls and practice these principles in all of our affairs.
