Quotes “We are not from the PRC propaganda department. We are just a bunch of new editors created within seconds of eachother who are inexplicably interested in Censorship in China.” — TransversalAngle, 22:14, 27 January 2016 on Talk:Censorship in China. "Hey, don't don't minimize the blocker. You have to move your mouse to the right place on the SPI, you have to click, then on the block form you have to move your mouse over the block button and click again. That's at least two moves and two clicks. Absolutely exhausting." — Bbb23, 16:37, 7 November 2015 on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Vanjagenije. "I can't even tell WTF this Google Boys Arimalam thing is. Some kind of internet social group? A gang? If it's a gang, I gotta say, that name is wack." — Cyphoidbomb, 18:08, 13 December 2016 on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Google Boys Arimalam GBA.
