selective disclosure

there are people who like to preen in public
and then when you ask for details
suddenly go silent.

something you announce publicly
you should also be able to discuss publicly.

not everyone takes statements at face value.
you should be able to substantiate.

once you see it...

someone telling me the other high-level editors
were probably scratching their heads
when they implemented the corrections i requested
for the unconventional edits
made by the one who's supposed to be the country's best...

me:  'they won't notice...  his [white] profile pic fades into the [white] background...'

not noticeable but on record still...
and yes, visible when one looks closely...  hah!

inept

so there i was already appalled at the kind of data
being entered into the database
by this guy who's holding a post
supposed to be reserved for the country's best.

well, guess what, i then see him modify an entry
from the correct format to the wrong one!
yes!  the address was fine
and he decided to edit it
and again put an unnecessary preposition!

nyahahahaha...  toinks!!!

can't he just save unconventional entries for himself?
does he really have to ruin an existing good record?
he's supposed to make things better not worse!

this guy better learn the requirements for his post.
people are supposed to top their good work not their bad.

consistently wrong

i was going to do an edit
and again saw this
unconventional / unnecessary-preposition format.

me:  'wah!  i bet it's him!'

i checked the history...
true enough, it's one of his accounts!

wahaha...  trademark?!

then and now,
seven years back,
two months ago,
the guy's edits are consistent
->  consistently wrong.

why on earth
is he holding a post
reserved for the country's best???

to borrow someone else's remark,
referring to some other action
by the very same guy (!),
"Very strange behaviour for [a high-level post]
and for sure very strange edits against the commonly accepted style guide"

<face-palm>

incompetent

nobody's perfect.
the best people make mistakes.
that's understandable.

but to be consistently wrong
about something you are supposed to know
is inexcusable.
