User:Floquenbeam

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Folly, thou conquerest, and I must yield!
    Against stupidity the very gods
    Themselves contend in vain.

    -Friedrich Schiller,The Maid of Orleans(although I came to it, of course, throughIsaac Asimov)

    Wikipedia is ... a place where anyone with a browser can go, pick a subject that interests them, and without even logging in, start an argument.

    -Lore Sjoberg,The Wikipedia FAQK

    If the text of each phrase requires a paragraph (to disprove), each paragraph - a section, each section - a chapter, and each chapter - a book, the whole text becomes effectively irrefutable and, therefore, acquires features of truthfulness. I define such truthfulness astranscendental.

    -Sergey Lopatnikov, quotedhere. Applicability to WP is left as an exercise for the reader.

    Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.

    Wikipedia is basicallyWebkinz World for grownups.

    -Mrs. Floquenbeam, while watching my daughter and me both "playing" at the same time

    I haven't yet been screwed by sonneteers.
    So that's how I select my fav'rite peers.

    -User:Proofreader77,(unpublished work)

    Strength is essential, but otherwise unimportant

    Hello, and welcome

    • I respond toFloquenbeam, Floq, Flo, FB, Flow, any other nickname you can think of (as long as it's not rude), or even "hey you", as long as I know from context you're talking to me.
    • I don't go around correcting people when they guess wrong (hardly their fault), but I'm a "he".
    • I'm easy to get along with (at least in real life), so please give me anyconstructive criticism you want; I'm aware that I'm imperfect, and usually quite willing to admit it and apologize when I screw up.
    • I try my best to turn the other cheek, but I'm evidentlynot so great gettingunconstructive criticism, particularly when my good faith is questioned, or if I think I'm being patronized.
    • I instinctively side with the underdog, so I tend to react poorly when I see other people (particularly newbies) bullied or patronized. I'm not convinced that's a defect, but I'm trying to make more of an effort in not going immediately into attack mode.
    • Sock declaration:User:Floquensock,User:Floquenstein's monster, andUser:Floquenphone are me. As is futurebureaucratUser:Aardvark Floquenbeam.
    • FWIW, I used to have another account before Floquenbeam, but abandoned it; so I've been here longer than it looks.
    • I was on theArbitration Committee from 1 January 2014 until 29 July 2014, but couldn't hack it.
    • I used to be an admin here. Interesting reading:WP:Requests for adminship/Floquenbeam andWP:Requests for adminship/Floquenbeam 2.

    This is the year

    2026: Seattle Mariners win it all. You heard it here first. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:18, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

    2015/16: Denver Broncos win it all. You heard it here first. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:50, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
     Done

    2017-present: You know, it's taken many decades, and I've shamefully looked the other way most of those decades, but the last few months have made even a white, male, old dog like me maybe 20% woke. Fuck the NFL. CTE. Blackmailing cities for stadia. Crawling over one another to hire rapists. Blackballing Colin Kaepernick. Fuck every single person associated with the ownership of this league. I have no illusions that this matters to anyone, but I'm trying to improve my karma by boycotting the NFL this year. MLB may not be much better, but it's got to beincrementally better, right?. Wish I could turn to NCAA football instead, but ... Jesus, it's just horrible, horrible people every way you turn. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:30, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
