User:Orthogonal/A farewell from Snowspinner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An IRC log. It's called the #wikipedia channel, but really it belongs to Snowspinner.

[9/25/2004 12:26 AM] <Snowspinner> Oh. Orthogonal is leaving Wikipedia.

[9/25/2004 12:26 AM] <Snowspinner> How sad.

[9/25/2004 12:26 AM] <Cyrius> really?

[9/25/2004 12:26 AM] <Snowspinner> Yeah.

[9/25/2004 12:26 AM] <AdamBishop> are you being sarcastic?

[9/25/2004 12:26 AM] <Snowspinner> No, he really is leaving.

[9/25/2004 12:26 AM] <Cyrius> "orthogonal was a Wikipedia editor from November 2003 to September 2004."

[9/25/2004 12:27 AM] <squash--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Orthogonal

[9/25/2004 12:27 AM] <Cyrius> he hadn't actually edited anything for a week before then

[9/25/2004 12:27 AM] <squash--> yep

[9/25/2004 12:27 AM] <Cyrius> of course, he's still here

[9/25/2004 12:27 AM] <AdamBishop> no I mean are you being sarcastic that it is sad :)

[9/25/2004 12:27 AM] <squash--> gone...

[9/25/2004 12:27 AM] <Snowspinner> Yeah. I was wondering why mediation with him was bogging down.

[9/25/2004 12:28 AM] <Rdsmith4> hmm, he was on IRC today

[9/25/2004 12:28 AM] <squash--> ..

[9/25/2004 12:28 AM] <Cyrius> he's still on irc

[9/25/2004 12:28 AM] <Cyrius> only idle 24 minutes

[9/25/2004 12:28 AM] <squash--> to say goodbye

[9/25/2004 12:28 AM] <Rdsmith4> That's sad.

[9/25/2004 12:28 AM] <squash--> to edit anonymously

[9/25/2004 12:30 AM] <Snowspinner> Adam: I'm not being sarcastic, no. I think it is sad that, after spending two months making accusations, he leaves Wikipedia as soon as any conversation that could lead to resolving those conflicts begins.

[9/25/2004 12:32 AM] <zocky> Snowspinner, people have other things to do in their lives, which might have precedence over wikipedia

[9/25/2004 12:32 AM] <orthogonal> I'm ging to to be moving to a swing state. I decided my time is better spent getting adult Fascists voting out of office, rather than debating with kiddie fascists with training wheels on their jackboots -- like Snowy.

[9/25/2004 12:32 AM] <squash--> ...!

[9/25/2004 12:33 AM] <orthogonal> Unfortunately or not, the election can't be postponed to suit snowy's timetabke.
