User talk:Chefsuffolk


 * I'm leaving a note here for poor chefsuffolk, since he appears either insufficiently familiar with how to research the goings-on here, or uninclined to do so.


 * I'm user occasionallyhelping, and maybe ten days or so ago when I posted on List of Iron Chef America Episodes while not logged in, drmargi flagged that IP on "suspicion" of being a sockpuppet of you. Of course, I'm not, but apparently she has had good results getting people to do her bidding by using that sockpuppet claim any time she doesn't get agreed with by a cross-section of contributors on a page she is obsessed with (which happens a fair amount -- check her contribs log).


 * Telling a bureacrat, even a volunteer one, that something isn't true does not impress them one whit -- even if it actually *isn't* true. The fact about bureacracies is that its functionaries seek to protect themselves and (as part of that process) their organization. The exercise of unchecked power is also gratifying to many who seek positions of control in a bureaucracy. Truth simply isn't the issue. Status, power, and prerogatives are -- perhaps even more nakedly so when (as here) no monetary compensation is involved.


 * Facts **with evidence** are the only things that have a shot (but no guarantee). So check the User talk:74.108.11.202 page, and also the bottom of the Talk page for the List of Iron Chef America page where Drmargi started editwarring with you; I included my input there, over a week ago now. If Drmargi got a block put on you by calling my IP a sockpuppet of you, and no one cares that it was simply a self-serving lie similar to many others she appears by activity pattern to have engaged in, then that tells all of us plenty about wikipedia down in the trenches. Perhaps it's highminded in theory, but in practice perhaps it's as creepy as the old usenet forums that were dominated and ruined by the bossiest members of groups, back in the 80s and 90s. That would be useful information to find out. So it's a win-win if you give evidence. Either you get satisfaction and fair treatment, or you realize it's a clique of nasty people, and you can go ahead and let it go, and tell people that.


 * O, and by the way, a couple of days after Drmargi got Dreadstar to block you, she got him a barnstar award. See what I mean about cliques, and people taking care of themselves and each other within an organization? Organizations are more like organisms that protect themselves at the expense of anyone else. Check people's user talk pages, and you'll see how things work in reality.Occasionallyhelping (talk) 04:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Having fun yet, chefsuffolk? I always keep this page in mind to refer people to, if they want to see how wikipedia really works, in contrast to the highminded but hollow rhetoric about cooperative, constructive cultural work.Occasionallyhelping (talk) 01:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Beer
I agree that there are a few people (such as myself) who dispute the "beerness" of such a distilled product - but we need a source for such a statement. If you have a source, please add it - I would prefer to have some form of qualifying statement that such freeze distilled products are disputed as beers.  SilkTork  *YES! 21:34, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
