Am I too charitable or is it possible that this guy is actually just joking and entertaining themselves? I can't imagine someone being serious with these threats and at the same time typing out shoot shoot shoot. Maybe it is just a weird hobby. Like when people play the long chess games where they share a board in common space and just make a move every time they happen to pass by and be in the mood. Maybe this person pours themselves a cup of coffee every morning and goes to Wikipedia to do his morning revert.

My instant thought too, obviously self entertainment, just a bit of fun. I actually can't read it any other way.

There is some effect where people contribute often and wonderfully in their area of expertise but turn completely weird outside of it. Stuff like a doctor running into a historically notable alternative medicine topic.

Look at the time stamps. They're only a few minutes apart.

If they're less than 16 years old, they could easily be serious.

Or over thirty-five, after which one rediscovers that it’s OK to have fun.

And... gains the ability to non sequitur?

It’s true, I’ve been neglecting the garden.

Cela est bien dit ; aussi cultivons notre jardin.

I thought it to be a pun on no secateurs :)

I know lots of people in their 40s and 50s who behave like children on the regular. Age is orthogonal to mature comportment.

If HN, Reddit, 4chan, Twitter, Youtube comments, etc have taught us anything it's that people who should be mature enough to know better will readily engage in "no u" type arguments like 14yo kids.

What if it works? If you simply persist and wear out the competition you win the wikipedia.

[dsfyu404ed]

If it has worked on here I don't see why it wouldn't work there.
