Their Administrators (functionally moderators) are volunteers, as far as I know, and not a part of the site staff.
Correct.
Thankfully, Westwall (de.metapedia.org) is no buerocrat on German Metapedia, just a plain Administrator.
Westwall is very hostile and just blocked me from Metapedia again.
Disclaimer: Westwall usually makes good contributions on the Wiki, but how he treats fellow contributers is utterly unacceptable!
Before explaining what happened, first:
I despise the kind of person that considers “because I said so” a legitimate argument. “Because I said so” is such a highly obnoxious phrase. It helps nobody, it is not even a logical argument, no constructive criticism; it's just blank excision of power.
In fact, I tend to instantly despise people who say “because I said so” (if not meant as a joke). No exaggeration. The phrase “because I said so” instantly tells me a lot about one's personality.
Every school teacher in my life who commonly used the obnoxious phrase “because I said so” had a lot of other despicable personal traits and belonged to the hated school teachers among my class mates, which is no co-incidence.
This is not just my opinion, but many people I know personally share this opinion.
(Rough translations)
[I got blocked for four weeks.]
My replies (de.metapedia.org) afterwards are too long to translate (I don't quite feel like it right now), but you can use Google Translate for it.
I suspect that Westwall, who personally despises me, just started this discussion so he can find an excuse to get me out.
I hope that the more civil administrators Thore and Hyperboreer can sort it out.
