- There are 34 blog posts. Since the first there have been roughly 450 blog posts. Doing the math, it means about 7.5% of all the blog posts since Edwin’s block have been commentary about his affairs in one way or another.

Yet this does not even include all the posts that he wrote with alt accounts yet were allowed to remain up, or were not discovered, of which there are 24 total!

It is highly amusing how many plans have come to stop Edwin yet ultimately have failed.

First PsiCubed2 became admin, promised a great deal, then quit (given his course of action it seems the only job he’d do well is that of a politician’s).

The same user along with a few others thought it would be nice to move to another site, but half a year later and how has that worked out? Well, the StackExchange forum is dead, there’s no other site besides Cantor’s Attic that can be edited for anything remotely googological, and this place has fewer quality users than ever.

In just a few months, Cookiefonster, Deedlit11, Hyp cos, LittlePeng9, and many others have left this site solely for what has been going on, and PsiCubed2 has promised to leave on more than one occassion - but like a dog to his own vomit returns every time.

Doesn’t anyone here find all of this - risible? - Humorous? I do. I certainly do not enjoy needless aggravation, but that’s not to say I don’t enjoy well-deserved aggravation.

For by consequence of your being just the way you are, you are extremely susceptible to faulty notions and ideas which I may take advantage of to the full. I have never started trouble, but only brought out in everyone what was in them all the while.

Indeed this is true. If you feel it is possible for another person to instigate conflict then you are denying free-will, a unique substance with the property that those who have the least of it suppose they have the most of it.

I never start trouble, but only you have. I am just a lens that does not align with your way of seeing, so you trade me for your scratched-up lenses of irrational (yet very funny) behavior.

This surprises me no longer, but is another fascinating thing I have discovered about others. People actually believe they are right to get upset about petty affairs which are here today, gone tomorrow! Can you believe it?

I used to believe no one could be so stupid as to be overcome by weaknesses like depression or mental sluggishness when at this very moment stars are dying and being born light-years away - but people actually are that stupid!

So I do not try to fix broken systems, for that is futile. I simply bring out the weaknesses in those systems, and by doing so bring those with common sense to the realization that which is broken will never be fixed, and to learn to laugh at things - everything. Everything is a joke, and "serious" topics doubly so.

Now this wiki may not be a mess of human bureaucracy able to seriously affect lives, but it’s a mess nonetheless, with or without me. I am happy to be here, so I can laugh at your failures.

So why not join me in laughing? You will find relief no other way.
