Please watch what you say (a friendly reminder)[edit]

Geo Swan, based on your remarks here, perhaps it will helpful for you to see this sockpuppetry investigation. If I had any other accounts, they would have been discovered at that time. Nor am I the person harassing you via Toronto-based IPs. Nor am I harassing J.C. Maçek III (or anyone else) via IPs.

Allow me to repeat my earlier advice - stick to boats. You are likely to end up blocked yourself if you continue to use poor judgment on articles pertaining to living people. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 15:17, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to third parties... World's Lamest Critic was wikistalking me on enwiki, until they were indefinitely blocked for outing wikipedia contributors real world identities. Their wikistalking of me included multiple instances of what they characterized as "friendly advice" -- including the "friendly advice" that they thought I should check out a mental illness they thought I had. Geo Swan (talk) 15:24, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Geo Swan, I did not suggest you had a mental illness or that anyone should "check out" anything (whatever you mean by that). I have previously clarified this. Equating autism spectrum disorders with mental illness is insulting. You really should stop doing that. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 15:57, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Allow me to apologize for linking spectrum disorder when I should have instead linked Autism spectrum. My mistake. It was a genuine attempt to understand our communications difficulties at the time. I was willing to change how I was communicating with you if it would help. I have apologized for this, although it was not intended to be insulting and I continue to believe it is not an insulting question. I will not apologize again. You seem to be fixated on this. That's fine, but you insist on referring to people on the Autism spectrum as having a mental illness. They do not. Please stop making that inference.

  • WLC's apology is not accepted.
WLC made these cracks about mental health as a shameful rhetorical ploy to avoid addressing civil policy-based attempts to have a meaningful dialogue.
To any third party readers, in the message above WLC asserts "I have apologized for this" -- implying they had offered an apology on an earlier occasion. That is just not true, not even close. Up until the insincere apology immediately above WLC was totally unrepentant, as the discussion at at Wikipedia talk:No personal attacks#NPA question [2] makes clear. Geo Swan (talk) 09:21, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Geo Swan, I have absolutely nothing to gain from lying about my motivation for asking the question. I give up. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 14:22, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • To Geo Swan and all interested third parties, World's Lamest Critic is Wikistalking me again as you can see here. And falsely accusing me of being someone I am not. Isn't there something that can be done about someone who obsessively follows others around Wikipedia? This person just needs to learn to leave others on Wikipedia alone.

An easy question[edit]

In the past, I have encouraged you to stick to articles about boats because of your lack of judgment when it comes to articles about living people. Perhaps that was not good advice. You have added two images to en:Fireboat Tiburon, an article you created about a specific boat: File:20071017 Tiburon fire boat.jpg and File:Tiburon Fire Department fireboat fights a fire on Angel Island, near San Francisco, 2008-10-13.jpg. Do these look like the same boat to you? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 22:09, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, the IP that undid your edit wasn't me. I don't know which boat is the right one. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 15:35, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
