World View Quiz

Not sure I agree with the conclusion, this is how I scored:

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

For my own records:

I have been editing Red Fox for some time, mostly around feral foxes in Australia. An anon editor has recently been adding information regarding the introduction of foxes into Tasmania. He/she appears to have a POV that the introductions did not take place, which is fine, and has been editing it to that effect, but mostly with unsourced or inappropriately sourced material. Today he did edit it with a source, I re-wrote his edit to more accurately reflect the source. Just a little while ago my place of work received a phone call from a "Dr Wickem" that if I did not stop editing his edits, he would sue me. Apparently he did this in quite a threatening manner, which upset the young girl who took his call. I realise he has no grounds to sue, and there is little that can be done about it, especially as he edits as an anon, and his server seems to change. However I thought I better bring it to your collective attention. I guess it is just a hazard of editing under your own name. --Michael Johnson (talk) 01:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

What is/are the Ip addresses used by the POV adder?--Jac16888 (talk) 01:34, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Two latest ones are 124.180.68.123 and 124.180.11.229 --Michael Johnson (talk) 01:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
IP's are not for any institution, which is a shame, means we can't report them to superiors/teachers/etc, and since the legal threat was off-wiki, there's little that can be done here, just ignore it, chances of actually being sued are slim to zero, and even if you are, then unless the australian legal system is really fucked up, which i'm pretty sure its not, theres little chance of them winning, if it even goes to court. If the calls continue, you could consider calling the police i.e. harrasment.--Jac16888 (talk) 01:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
