[edit] Characteristics of The Truth

It is sometimes hard to differentiate between simple facts or opinions and The Truth. There are some characteristics that The Truth has:

  1. The Truth, unlike an opinion, is not open to reasonable debate. Any reasonable person agrees with The Truth, so by definition, it's impossible to sustain a logical debate.
  2. The Truth will encounter great opposition. Normally, unreasonable people can be placated by making up some unreasonable arguments, and this should be tried to make sure that you don't just have a fact. But The Truth will always be vehemently opposed by nearly everyone, and in fact, this is the best way to identify it. Remember, don't feel discouraged when you are the sole bearer of The Truth. Eventually, reasonable people will come and agree with it, and it will be written.
  3. The Truth should always be written everywhere. Facts and opinions are sometimes irrelevant to the situation, but The Truth is always relevant, and should be included wherever possible.

[edit] Defenders of The Truth

Obviously, The Truth needs defenders. These noble souls, who fly in the face of everyone else opposing them. They do their very best to refuse to kneel to the power of disagreement, knowing that in the end, The Truth will prevail. The best Defenders of The Truth will repeatedly make the same argument towards The Truth being correct, hoping some will find the error of their ways and come to support it. After a couple days of doing this, enough people should have converted to The Truth that there is no question it will stay. This is the ideal situation for The Truth.

[edit] Opposers of The Truth

However, not everyone is willing to understand The Truth. There are some who will oppose The Truth eternally, and you must be aware of things about them.

  1. They will probably try to have a reasoned out argument with you. However, they are obviously wrong, per the first characteristic of The Truth. Since it is obviously right, people who disagree can not possibly have reasoned arguments. Thus, they are only trying to confuse you into believing that The Truth is wrong. You can safely ignore the people who just do this, and continue with your method of repeating the same argument in the face of irrational opposition.
  2. They may try to show that everyone disagrees with you. However, when they show you this, don't be persuaded! If you're trying to bring The Truth somewhere, then it's implied that it doesn't already exist there. And if it doesn't exist, then there must logically be an cabal obstructing it. They're sneaky enough not to be noticed. So just call attention to this cabal, and it will be destroyed, clearing the way for The Truth.
  3. If they caballed their way through RFA, they may use their rollback tool to revert you faster, and they may even block you! If you are blocked while contributing The Truth, you should make a couple hundred sockpuppets through a dynamic IP, preferably with names like Wikipediaiscensorship, Imrightandyourewrong, or Endtheeviladmincabal. Now, use most of these making complaints to WP:ANI or various admins' talk pages about your block. After that, file an Arbcom case against the admin who blocked you, all editors who disagreed with you, and anyone who reverted your ANI postings. Make sure to get your sockpuppets all agreeing that everyone involved but you should be desysopped and banned.
