User:Matt Crypto/Rebuke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I once tangled with Rex Curry, an individual very keen on promoting his theories about the US pledge of allegiance all over the Internet without regard to whether or not it's the right place to do so. Inevitably, he was banned from Wikipedia towards the end of 2005, and he took this rather badly. Months later, angry posts berating myself and other admins still surface across the Web and Usenet[1]. Here are some excerpts... — Matt Crypto 19:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rex's main page on me

Rex has a special page on his website devoted to me (fame, at last!). I can't link to it from here because his site is currently spam blacklisted from Wikipedia. Here's an excerpt:

"Matt Crypto is a freaky stalker weirdo who rants on Wikipedia and he is so bad that he helped to inspire the term “wikiling writers” as a reference to him and others of his ilk. He knowingly engages in personal attacks and deletions of and vandalism of any information (even links) that explain the connection between Francis Bellamy, Edward Bellamy and National Socialism. He spams screeds about his propaganda all over Wikipedia. Matt Crypto is the egregious in his disruptive rant-spamming, personal attacks and general kookiness. Matt was challenged to respond to the facts that he suppressed or to concede those fact, and the wikiling conceded that the facts that he suppresses are correct and that he deletes those facts because he does not want Wikipedia readers to know the truth. He constantly spams his own point of view in his diatribes, and his diatribes have the effect of covering up for Nazism. It is behavior that breaks Wikipedia's rules. What kind of people cover-up for Nazis and that horrid ideology? Crypto has conceded the three points below.

Dr. Rex Curry is the historian who made the following discoveries that are suppressed by neo-Nazis and others on Wikipedia:

1. Dr. Rex Curry showed that the USA's early Pledge of Allegiance (to the flag) used a straight-arm salute and it was the origin of the salute of the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). Dr. Curry helped to establish that it was not an ancient Roman salute, and that the "ancient Roman salute" is a myth. The myth is still repeated in modern efforts to cover-up Dr. Curry's discoveries about the Pledge's poisonous pedigree."...(etc etc)

[edit] Rex's best insults

Collected from various net posts:

• "Cryptologist & Freaky Stalker Weirdo: Matt Crypto concedes his historical ignorance !!"
• "Matt Crypto thinks of himself as an amateur cryptographer (note his nerdy name) but he did not know that the swastika was used by the National Socialist German Workers' Party to represent meshed "S" letters for their "socialism." That is, He did not know until he learned of Dr. Curry's research."
• "Matt Crypto is British. Matt Crypto posted a photograph of himself on the web and it confirms that he is full of himself. Would you believe that Matt Crypto David is a computer geek?"
• "British Matt Crypto is from York in the United Kingdom. Would you believe that Matt Crypto is a loser computer geek? He describes himself as a student "probably permanently." By his own admission his voice is too naff. Matt Crypto posted a photograph of himself on the web and it confirms that he is a nerd who is full of himself."[2]
• "On his own page, Crypto concedes that he once doubted Dr. Curry's work, "but he sure put me in my place" Crypto says about the Doctor. Wikipedia has for a long time supported Dr. Curry's work and Matt Crypto also conceded that Crypto had been rebuked, and he confirmed Dr. Curry's work publicly on Wikipedia."
• "As part of his public apology, Crypto attempts levity by comparing himself to a cuckoo bird. His comparison is appropo. Here is information that Matt Crypto actually posted about himself on his own page: "Matt Crypto is a freaky stalker weirdo..."
• "Matt Crypto is just another nutbag trying to push something. British Matt Crypto is from York in the United Kingdom. Would you believe that Matt Crypto David is a computer geek? Matt Crypto posted a photograph of himself on the web and it confirms that he is a nerd who is full of himself. By his own admission his voice is too naff."
• "Matt Crypto is still a real nut case. Matt Crypto's vandalism of posts shows that he is a terrible Wikipedia addict and mental wikiling. How is his vandalism legitimate or worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia?"
• "Matt Crypto is an individual very keen on protecting Nazi propaganda on the Wikipedia bulletin board, and Crypto is very keen on promoting those theories that he protects by deleting truthful information that anyone else tries to add that doesn't fit Crypto's propaganda scheme. Crypto also tries to protect Nazi propaganda all over the Internet without regard to whether or not it's the right place to do so. Inevitably, Crypto was humiliated on Wikipedia and elsewhere for his misbehavior towards the end of last year, and Crypto took this rather badly...The only reason Crypto hasn't deleted the reference to Dr. Curry's work in the wikipedia above is because Crypto is not very bright."(November 2006)
