DMOZ Scandal of the YEAR

The problem with people who are honest and don't have fears about speaking thier minds is that they do get hated, I'm one of them. I don't patronize here minstrel when I say that we need more people like you instead of the many bullshitters who post for the sake of posting with little or no substance to thier comments.

I'm learning from people like you, so are many others, the one's who aren't, well they know it all anyway so who gives a 'BEEP'.

 

Rep added to Qryztufre...
Awesome!

 

Consider it done, Luv Bug. You have been quoted in *foul* entirety.

I take deep offense at your "just ONE little mistake (was it the ONE where you re-cooled your site the third time or the ONE where you removed all its competitors?)" as I know you are referring to me. And you are the liar of liars, robjones, because I cooled only one site, Flybase (an epic collaboration covering all things Drosophila, at http://flybase.bio.indiana.edu) and I have never cooled any of my sites, let alone the same one 3 times in a row as you imply. Furthermore, I have few competitors but I added, not removed, other webmasters that share the same niche as I. You have sunk to sordid depths, in making things up in order to discredit someone.

I suggest that any editor that wishes to check my editing record for cooled sites and for deletion of my competitors do so. They will uncover that robjones is not beneath lying as a means to mudsling an adversarial outsider.

Lying for the sole purpose of vilifying others. Good job, robjones. I see a promotion to meta in your future, if you're not one already.

 

This is amusing:

Apparently, when you're up to your neck in excrement, it becomes difficult to tell exactly where the stench is originating.

Here's another slimy sycophant who is more worried about the sieve of secrecy than injustice:

Translation: We cannot let people know how metas abuse their power and slander people. If you want to know what really happens behind those closed doors, become a meta yourself. That way we know you'll be so desperate to hang on to what they call "power" that you'll be sure to toe the party line... the Nazi party line, of course.

Someone with principles then steps up:

Back to the slimy sycophant:

Translation:

1. Nowhere did I say anything bad about Annie, except of course that she;'s a criminal.

2. I'm not a meta but if I really practice and become expert at sycophancy one day I will be.

And by direct request, there's this one:

There you go, robjones. Now you're famous. Your mother must be so proud of you.

For the record, I don't "claim to be a shrink". I am a psychologist with a lot of years experience, which enables me to see through your pathetic defenses like peering through plexiglas. However, if you want more, I'm afraid you'll have to pay me for that. My standard rate is, I suspect, your week's salary at that fast food outlet but maybe your mom can help you out.

Now this perfect bitch:

What a charmer... S/he/it will have a bright future at DMOZ. Watch for falling concrete, there, raggedy.

 

OMG, I am crying here - and to think my mother told me playing on the computer would cause me to loose my eyesight,,, wait - I didn't have a computer when I was a kid,,, oh yah, playing with THAT!! I would have made a darn good http://domoz.org/Ad_____ (fill in the blank) editor.

BTW, how come I keep getting a message that I have to spread reps around before I can give them to anyone here? I think it is a commie plot to block me.

 

There is always a silver lining.

 

That would be http://www.dmoz-resources.com/zone/ , www.dmoz-resource-zone.com i took offline cause of RZ was trying to get some sort of lawsuit maybe for something, so i decided to play a bit safe. Ofcourse they wanted to kill the forums for obvious reasons are still trying hard i mean really hard, look what they did ? they removed annie cause she used her real name on the forums and got punished cause she is nice to everyone.. and is the single person who follows dmoz guidelines, she even helped me while i was editor edit my listings so they suited dmoz. who would spend that much time ? Motsa ? forget it motsa is all about denial thats her middle name.

Anyways i agree its a shame that those editors that want to join this community based forum and help users, have to hide their identity cause some evil meta will hunt them down. Hey thats the only reason cause i knew from day one how evil some of the metas can be. hence had posted on the main page : http://www.dmoz-resources.com/ that neither me nor anyone else shall ask for true identity of that person at dmoz.

Everyone once in a while gets excited about getting status checks done, and if some editor has time and nice enough to do that it makes someone else happy.

Its all about spreading happinesses around, but for few(at old crappy RZ ) its called "favoritism" and trying to take Old shitty RZ(their forums) down agenda and nothing more.

I might close my forums cause for some reasons i feel that annie and her involvement in helping folks at those forums got her into trouble and feel responsible. So sorry annie once again bunny is really sorry . She does not even talk to me anymore on aim now .

 

It is still online but why do you want to take it offline?

They will not sue you, there is some thing called discovery phase in any law suit which gives you possibility to look in the other side affairs, do you really think that DMOZ editors want to come out of shadows and have a light on them?

 

I think gboisseau needs a new avatar:



You can choose from these signatures:

“Where are you, my little gumbo of chicken ? Your French fried shrimp is sizzling for you.”
“Permit me to introduce myself, I am your new lover.”
“Where are you, my little object of art? I am here to collect you.”
“Is it possible to be too attractive?”
“You know, most men would get discouraged by now fortunately for you, I am not most men!”
“You stop resisting me, bebe, and I’ll stop resisting you.”
“You are the corned beef, and I am the cabbage. The corned beef is nothing without the cabbage.”

 

I do not know gworld, those evil metas have done really good job in making good editors crap in their pants, so i doubt any more status checks would be even possible, cause i think thats what most the visitors are all exited about, most do not want a fair review of their site if its even listable at dmoz, which exeditor(lol he is actually an exeditor user i am referring to) is good at, well atleast thats what i think, than there is always the mighty IVAN, with who if you mess u end up dead usually.

Something interesting i want to point, i had lots and lots of urges of bitching at evil metas at the forums , but it was annie, and minstrel always who stopped me from doing that , and those bitchy threads are in the dump, cause i feel dmoz is not bad, its the few people behind it that need to be removed for good, and saying Annie is corrupt and not suited for dmoz, is like saying " Lets kill Mother: Tressa " Although that great soul passed away few years ago, but still u get the big picture.

So, question is why i should keep the forums running, annie right now is already in shock, first her sickness, now this, i am really worried about her health cause i call her granny annie and it hurts me the most when she is in pain and being called unfair and unjust. And keeping forums running i think will only cause her more pain as she will not be able to help out users by providing status checks as usual. Might remove status check section or something but i am trying to get some con census from few on what to do with the root cause of all her problems.

Come on guys(talking to those calling her corrupt etc.) give annie a break will yaa, imagine having painful surgery for cancer, and coming back home to recover only to find mental stress ? Really nice time some bitch decided to show her colors again. She(the bitch) will rot in hell for sure for eternity, and thats coming from bottom of my heart. I do not know how true it is but sometimes when u wish something from bottom of ur heart it comes true.

Wait did i mention she forgot to take her medicines for 4 days cause of all this removal crap, and did not sleep at all ? Her health went down again, papa dave is also tensed out right now. But i hope annie starts taking her medicines again, else i fear the worst which u guys do not see right now.

Advice to annie if ur reading this " Please forget about dmoz " lots of other constructive things u can do like the scotter thingy u bought for spot,ike and auggie, come on annie do not give away for health for dmoz, its not worth it.
Now take that medicine of yours now.

Cheers all. Try to live in peace and tranquility without trying to hurt others. Life is too short to make enemies.

 

It is a great tribute to Annie's character and selfless contributions that she is, perhaps, helping her beloved Directory more through her dismissal, than through all that editing.

The editors and metas might complain about the existence of an editor in cahoots with us trolls ar DP, feeding us their internal forum, yum. But the positive spin to this is that it has allowed us to witness several eye-opening facts. Firstly, the dissenters, and by dissenters I refer to editors that wish to see a minor, yet vitally important change to the editor dismissal process, are the most vocal and articulate majority. This majority includes metas and ordinary editors alike, who, realizing that Annie's dismissal cannot so easily be undone, seek to avoid a repeat of the tragedy. Secondly, the status quo hardliners (followed by a few hilarious obvious unthinking sycophants) are very scarce, have long run out of arguments and "because-we-say-so," and are quite browbeaten. Thirdly, a lot of people at DMOZ ARE using their hearts and their minds and carry the hope that their voice might be heard and the process more fair in the future.

Could this change, however tiny, be around the corner? The fact that the discussion has gotten this far, and gathered such a positive momentum is much to Annie's credit. Think about it. It would not have happened for any editor. On anyone else... the smear tactics would have worked. Against Annie, the smear tactics are at once hollow and depraved. Only her sacrifice had the power to rally people against such an unfair, cruel practice.

She's performing miracles at the ODP, from the outside. I am calling the Vatican, I want to propose a candidate for sainthood.

 

Yaa i agree no one cared when i got removed cause i stayed in dmoz say for like 2 - 3 days till they found out my forums i was running thanks to that bastard pvgool. . Sorry for my foul language but i couldnt find any better word as my vocabulary is poor.

@ sainthood part, lol do put spots, ikes and augies names too, they are the cutest huskies i seen and from what annie says, they probably start licking if some burgler was to come in their house... Those huskies need to be trained lol as once ivan said.

 

I haven't talked with Annie for awhile and I am sorry to hear this since it was not long ago that a member of her family passed away from cancer. If you talk to her, just say hi for me and tell her, she shouldn't be upset or care. The DMOZ Mafia are just bunch of coward assholes anyway and who cares about such people's opinion.

 

I think she comes here and check this thread out daily so she probably got ur hi, but will say hello to her if i get a reply back from her first .

 

Wait I know this movie, don't tell me...

Kaffee: I want the truth!
Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.



(Replace Jessep with crowbar and Santiago with Annie )

I use to respect admins, metas until first I got removed from DMOZ by faked charges and later got into quarrel with admin on Croatian wiki who had no problems in abusing his powers to satisfy his vanity while others admins didn't nothing so call me skeptical but I no longer trust anyone in positions of power until his/hers actions proves it.

You mean she robbed the bank and didn't give a cut of the loot!? All this time I treated here with utmost respect and this is how she pays me back... bunnie I got a job for you...

 

And once you get better try joining wiki it will be vacation compared to DMOZ and with your dedication, Jimbo will probably start asking you to go on a conferences with him all over the World... not sure how will hubby react to that...

Take it or we will hijack your doggies and give them to poptalk to guard them and I'm not sure how long will he be able to hold back!

After they review her case and what she has been through it will be fastest sainthood approval in history.

 

Look very carefully at my avitar.

 

Haha, gboisseau, how long has that "salute" been there for???

Here's just a single sentence that is heavy with meaning:

See, this is sarcasm. Raggedyrugs doesn't like glippitt's very resonable call for change, nor the genuine support she is getting from the Infidels on the Outside.

All that glippitt and the majority of thinking editors are asking is for the formalization of the editor dismissal procedure so that it includes a warning from official channels - in the future. As minuscule a change as this appears to be to us trolls at DP, it is a sweeping revolution at Fort Dinosaur and results in the rearguard taking up arms (rocks and clubs) against the other editors.

If this was real life, they would not start to insult us, or insult their audience. Nor would they entrench themselves defending an untenable position. Would their world really fall apart if they were required to send a recorded, dashboard warning before pulling the plug on someone, and hearing their explanation? DMOZ's Neanderthal faction seems to think so.

 

How about this from a Coward that don't even sign a red rep.

Well another one is Neb reported me to DP Mods for attacking and harrassing members. How do I know that its Neb ? Answer is How do I get inside ODP undetected. Nyahahahaha. I am way smarter than most of you. *Pumping FIST in the AIR*

Either way thats fine. NO POINTS counted. WONDERFUL ! BRAVO !

 

BTW - I wonder if any editor took the time to verify robjones' fabricated accusations that my ONE mistake was that I allegedly "re-cooled" my site "the third time" or the ONE where I allegedly "removed all its competitors?"

Buncha liars. When you catch one in such an obvious, verifiable lie, it has to make you wonder how many others are liars too. It makes you wonder how much of the accusations that have been laid against editors and ex-editors are trumped up charges, and how much is florid fiction of the kind you get from a lie that keeps getting repeated, like the Chinese Telephone game, or fishing stories where the breadth of the slander increases with each re-telling.
