The Man Who Guards Clinton's Wikipedia Entry

Timothy found a profile in The New Republic of Jonathan Schilling, a 53-year-old software developer from New Jersey who works to keep Hillary Clinton's Wikipedia entry clean and fair throughout the election season. "After he started editing her page in June 2005, Schilling became consumed with trying to capture her uncomfortable place in American culture, researching and writing a whole section on how she polarizes the public... [T]he attacks on Hillary's page mainly take the form of crude vandalism... It's different on Obama's page, where the fans — no surprise — are more enthusiastic, the haters are more intelligent, and the arguments reflect the fact that Obama himself is still a work under construction... The bitterness of the fights on Obama's page could be taken as a bad sign for the candidate. But it may actually be Hillary's page that contains the more troubling omens. Few, if any, Hillary defenders are standing watch besides Schilling. In recent days, the vaguely deserted air of a de-gentrifying neighborhood has settled over her page..."

    Twofo is Dying is Dying

    It is official; GNAA confirms: Twofo is Dying is Dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleagured slashdot trolling community when Google confirmed that Twofo troll posts had dropped yet again, now down to less that a fraction of 1 percent of all slashdot posts. Coming hot on the heels of a recent usenet survey which plainly states that Twofo trolling frequency has fallen, this news serves only to reinforce what we've known all along. Twofo trolls are collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in a recent digg.com comprehensive trolling test.

    You don't need to be one of the Slashdot moderators to predict Twofo Trolling's future. The writing is on the wall: Twofo trolling faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Twofo trolls because Twofo trolling is dying. Things are looking very bad for Twofo trolls. As many of us are already aware, Twofo trolling continues to decline in popularity. IP bans flow like a river of firewall rules.

    "Twofo is Dying" trolls are the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of their core posters. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time trolls Daz and xyzzy only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Twofo trolls are dying.

    Lets keep to the facts and look and the numbers.

    Twofo Trolling leader Echelon states that there are about 7000 "twofo is dying" trolls. How many "Zeus sucks cock" trolls are there? Let's see. The number of "Zeus sucks cock" trolls versus "Twofo is dying" trolls on slashdot is roughly in the ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 "Zeus sucks cock" trolls. "Fuck twofo" posts on slashdot are about half the volume of "Zeus sucks cock" posts. Therefore there are about 700 trolls specialising in "Fuck twofo". A recent article put "destroy twofo" at about 80% of the twofo trolling community. Therefore there are about (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 "destroy twofo" trolls. This is consistent with the number of "destroy twofo" slashdot posts.

    Due to the troubles at Twofo, abysmal sharing, ITS, lack of IP addresses and so on, "destroy twofo" trolls stopped posting altogether and were taken over by "Zeus sucks cock" trolls who specialise in another kind of slashdot posting. Now "Zeus sucks cock" trolls are also dead, their corpses turned over to yet another charnel horse.

    All major surveys show that Twofo trolls have steadily declined in slashdot posting frequency. Twofo trollers are very sick and their long term survival prospects are very dim. If Twofo trollers are to survive at all it will be among hardcore slashdot posters, hellbent on Twofo's destruction. Twofo trolls continue to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save Twofo trolls from their fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Twofo trolls are dead.

    I have a very small penis. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I've come to terms with it and now I've even found someone who will date me in spite of it. Nevertheless, the moment when I expose myself has always provided a bit of consternation and some interest moments. At the suggestion of some others on other board, I'm posting a few anecdotes based on this experience. Enjoy. From a blonde who was chewing gum at the time..."So, I mean, is this it???" "Yikes, Andrea said you were small but...wow!" From another girl, holding it between her index finger and thumb, "Why don't you just use your hand." I had just gone home with a girl who provided some 420 fun, "Wow...I hope you know how to eat this cooch!" From a girl who gave me oral, "Well at least there's no chance I'll gag!" Doggystyle and balls deep, "C'mon baby, you can do it!" From a sweet girl with a complete look of shock, "Well, it makes your balls look really big." "Oh, cute. It's like a little button!" "Do you think it'll ever get any bigger?" "Do you mind if I just rub it for a while?" And after I came, "Wow, I never thought something so small would make such a mess!" From the drunk girls... "You've got to be kidding me! Can I take a picture of that!?!?" Giggling..."I've seen small cocks before but goddam" "Sorry, but this is just f'ing pointless!" As soon as I lowered my pants, "You poor thing!" After sex and cuddling, "I should hook you up with my friend Stacy. She was saying that small dicks don't bother her." Mean drunk girl, "I seriously think this is the size of a paperclip. I mean one of those bigger ones." She actually got a paperclip out of her purse and compared. On breaking up.. "Good luck ever finding someone who wants that pindick." "I'm telling every single one of my friends that you have a three inch cock. Keep fucking whining and I won't even exaggerate that much!" "I lied. It is by FAR the smallest fucking cock I've ever seen." When I found out she was cheating and demanded the truth, "Oh my God, you sniveling little fuck. Because his cock is long and fat and I can actually feel it slide into me."

    If I end up doing e-police for the winner, think I can get an appointment as ambassador to a tropical island?

    That said.. this article just helps to reflect the fact that major candidates might need to start thinking more on the IT side.. the elections are still held in Meat-Space, but a growing number of people are getting their news solely from Internet Sources, and of course many of the news programs get their sources from the Internet.

    So.. do any candidates need a CIO?.. like I said.. i'll do it for a comfy post in the Caribbean :]
