Taking a page from the boss's book

Well, now we have another list of lies with no evidence to back it up, such as the site's viewership going down since I returned; Robbybaby wants to blame it on me, but I'm counting all the remaining editors - and there are just a handful of them - and I can rightly blame Robbybaby for driving them all away. Nobody wants to work with a jerk.

So, since he is a jerk, as well as an arrogant, narcissistic little bully, the best way to deal with such an individual is right out of Andy's playbook, which is to ignore him. Don't even talk to him, don't respond to him, don't even give him the time of day. Just let him whine, scream, pout, whatever, because there's absolutely nothing he can do about it. And he cannot block you for not talking to him, can he? Karajou (talk) 18:53, October 7, 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, man. If no-one acknowledges the bonkers guff he regularly inserts into articles and MPR, then that ... means it isn't there and the rest of the world can't see it either! This will definitely work. No notes. ConwayIII (talk) 21:03, October 7, 2023 (EDT)

Hope you're proud of yourself now

Motion of no confidence

I am initiating a vote of no confidence in User:RobSmith. Over the past few months, I have grown increasingly distressed with the state of Conservapedia. I would like to contribute good-quality conservative content, but I have not because of the shadow RobSmith casts over the encyclopedia. A by no means exhaustive list of grievances:

• He is the king of "rules for thee, but not for me". He often complains about people "peeing all over the carpet" by joining in discussions they were not a part of. And yet he finds the need to respond to every thread over at User talk:Aschlafly, adding his "two cents".
• He claims that anything critical of Russia or Putin is Russophobic
• He believes that he is responsible for the decrease in vandalism over the past few months, when anyone with a functioning brain would realize it is because creating new accounts is disabled
• He believes that page protection is the first tool against vandalism. No. Blocks are used when the problem is the user, page protection is used when the problem is the page. Protecting pages because of one user just prevents good faith contributions to the page by other users.
• His views on content are wildly off-base with those of the general readership of CP. See: Conservapedia:AFD Essay:Russian war crimes in Ukraine
• He views any popular challenge to his authority as a mobocracy, when it is simply an exercise in the taking the views of the best of the public
• He needs to collaborate with everyone, not just members of Team CP. There was no elitist gang of editors until RobSmith started one.

The undersigned users endorse this statement and believe RobSmith needs to be de-sysoped for the good of Conservapedia, and humbly request Andy remove his admin rights:

Endorsements

1. The problem is RobSmith, not the supposedly "Russophobic" contributors he keeps attacking. MayGodBless (talk) 20:34, October 9, 2023 (EDT)

   You're lucky this isn't the good old days; Karajou and User:Conservative would have just blocked you and deleted everything by now. Don't I get credit for stopping that? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 21:08, October 9, 2023 (EDT)

   How did *you* stop that? MayGodBless (talk) 21:11, October 9, 2023 (EDT)

   Have you been blocked and this page deleted for initiating this vote? You know darn well Karajou and Cons would have booted your butt in 5 mins. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 21:18, October 9, 2023 (EDT)

   I actually don't, given that I am a fairly new editor. And If I had initiated something like this without good cause, I would deserve to be blocked.

   But you have not answered my main point: how did the actions of RobSmith change the dynamic at CP? MayGodBless (talk) 22:52, October 9, 2023 (EDT)

   Read some of the items you enumerated above. You're just lucky you're still here, cause Karajou and User:Cons would have deleted any trace you ever existed if you tried anything like this with them. Heck, I'm the guy who created this place for people to come and air their grievances without fear of getting blocked. 23:07, October 9, 2023 (EDT) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RobSmith (talk)

   Gorbachev opened up the USSR and it led to criticism of the system. And again, you have not addressed my point: what action(s) taken by you are preventing Karajou and/or Conservative from blocking me for criticising you? And know this: I am not trying to attack you. Your heart is in the right place. I am merely expressing the viewpoint that you need to be a regular editor while you learn how to be a net-positive to this wiki. MayGodBless (talk) 23:27, October 9, 2023 (EDT)

   I'm not getting into our internal politics. Why haven't you taken the pledge to edit in good faith? All you've done here is cite a bunch of second and third hand hearsay, and don't have a personnel grievance yourself. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 23:39, October 9, 2023 (EDT)

   What do you find objectional about this language, and what would you propose to improve it:

We the undersigned editors at Team CP pledge to work cooperatively with other signees as a cooperative editor to produce content for Conservapedia under the Conservapedia:Commandments and Conservapedia:Guidelines. We pledge to treat other editors with dignity and respect, and not engage in ceaseless acts of incivility, edit warring, and trolling, etc. We pledge to make, good, well researched content for Conservapedia readers. We pledge to work together as cooperative editors, and not engage in unnecessary, senseless trivial disputes, personality clashes, carry grudges, and to work for a spirit of cooperation among editors.

1. Agree with motion of no confidence. Conservative (talk) 20:45, October 9, 2023 (EDT)
2. Absolutely agreed without a doubt. Remove RobSmith's “Administrator” tag ASAP. —LT ^{Rev. 22:13} Tuesday, 21:38, October 9, 2023 (EDT)
