The Gainesvilleman

Posted by on May 22 at 18:28 PM

Remember the Pillowman, the play by Martin McDonagh (congrats on the Tony nomination, Martin! and congrat to the wankers down at Tony central for being smart enough to nominate him!) about a writer living in a police state who gets arrested and interrogated because he wrote stories about fictional murders that kind of resembled real-life murders? Remember all those questions raised by the play about art and responsibility and overreaching state power?

Looks like police down Gainesville way have adopted the same line of thinking as McDonagh’s cops.

(Thanks, Maud Newton!)

"Snowspinner"/Phil Sandifer is no innocent, this is simply bad karma coming back to bite him in the ass...
It's all very easy to go "look at this guy he's been abused by the authorities he's standing up against the Man!" - but when you know what he's like you wouldn't. He *is* The Man on Wikipedia, and is responsible for a hell of a lot of corruption and nastiness there.

Things "Snowspinner"/Phil Sandifer has done, and actions against him:

[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Kelly_Martin/original#Users_who_oppose_this_summary]]
[[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Vote/Snowspinner#Oppose]]

(not a complete list due to "antispam" filter)

Hi, anon! Which of the wikipedia review members are you? I'm guessing not sgrayban, because you seem to know how to use apostrophes. And you don't feel like Hushthis, either. My guess is that you're blissyu2. Am I right?

Hey, cool site! Liked it very much!
Visit mine if you want too!
