So I have a genuine question. When that group of people on Wikipedia made it their stated, public mission to make certain that no mention of me ever survived on the Encyclopedia, what is that, exactly? I know all mention of it, they attempted to excise it. And, again, I’m not interested in legal action.

I’m interested in bitching about it.

I’m interested in making fun of it.

What was that? What do you even call that? I understand that a lot of people tried to keep me out of the mainstream, or from being remembered. But do you understand that you cannot actually do that? Like. You can’t keep me from being known. Certainly, you can try; you can keep me out of the things you control, but I still remain alive. I still do things.

I think that the people who remain from the previous attempt to de-platform(?) me, I think that they think that no one really remembers, and that they can, as a group, keep me out of the Encyclopedia.

Okay.

One small problem.

I remember.

That’s not a threat. I’m saying, what exactly is the plan, here? I’m not even really online anymore— are you just going to continue this, for the rest of your lives, and keep on battling back any attempt to actually let me into the human written record? Because, genuinely, I think I would like to be kept out of Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, I’m genuinely too important, and an article about me, even a glowing one, is not just imminent, but inexorable.

Sucks for me. Sucks for you for a completely different reason.

What a stupid fucking planet.

For fuck’s sake.

I wanted to stay the fuck out of this, because I’m pretty much solidly out of the Internet (I don’t even have enough free time to update anything but this anymore, because it’s easy compared to static HTML production), but.

Alright, here’s the situation. About 11-12 years ago, one dude, along with like 14 other Wikipedians, decided that I was going to be blacklisted from the Encyclopedia. Every mention of me got scrubbed, even though I was on the news a lot. It was bizarre, and I didn’t really care. I, in fact, do not want a Wikipedia page, because I don’t want twerps like that writing about me.

But here’s the thing. As far as I can tell, one of them from that time period, that got uber-memory-holed by Jimbo et al themselves (Jimbo telling Ryulong that what he was doing was akin to libel, very close to it, and he was witch-hunting me), this dude was on one of those talk pages. I can’t prove it, because, again, it got memory-holed. But the username seems familiar.

And I think he’s attacking a guy who put a mention of me in an article, because, this guy, even though Ryulong lost, this guy is still fighting the war.

This motherfucker Hiroo Onoda over heah.

Because this guy is reading everything going on, and he’s attacking the guy even as I’m talking to him on Bluesky, I have a message for ya’s:

I really don’t wanna be on Wikipedia.

Please just leave this dude alone. You can hate me, but don’t drag innocents into your goofy fuckin’ war.

Thanks!

NOTE: If this is what I think it is, the fact that somebody on Wikipedia is still after me after a dozen years? Pretty fuckin’ bonkers. I piss you off that much by just existing?

We didn’t even speak!
