The Big S speaks on adminstrator x

In honor of Mark on his birthday, a good old fashioned debate.


A Treatise on the Future Direction of the Mulligan Family Blog

My fellow relatives it brings great consternation that I am compelled to air my complaints in this open forum. I have tried unsuccessfully to have a certain unnamed assistant administrator who happens to live west of the Continental Divide, south of Bakersfield Ca., north of San Diego and east of the Pacific Ocean suspended as an assistant administrator. This individual ( who I call the lone wolf) has clearly overstepped his authority. He has taken advantage of the goodwill of our administrator Gary. In this Treatise I will outline the following arguments why this assistant administrator should have his administrative rights suspended from him. First of all, he is a plagiarists, he has stolen intellectual property and refuses to acknowledge the ownership of the very ideas he stole. Furthermore, he has put the personal privacy of each and every one of us at jeopardy by linking us to the outside world. Finally, the lone wolf has started a campaign of fear and intimidation. The lone wolf is using his position as an assistant administrator to intimidate potential bloggers. My fear is that the lone wolf’s goal is to end our chosen secularism and force us to accept multifamilism. In layman’s term he wants to end The Mulligan blog and replace it with a multi family blog. If this naked aggression goes unchecked we will lose our individuality and family values. We have allowed by our inaction and silence to have our blog shaped by a lone wolf operating his agenda. I say, it’s time to remove him from his unelected administrative duties. We also need to give Gary our full support and allow him to put this lone wolf in his place.

To some members of our family plagiarism is clearly not a concern. To them plagiarism is an accepted fact of everyday life. It is this lack of moral compass that has allowed the lone wolf to steal the ideas of Gary. The lone wolf used his velvet personality as a ruse to gain the trust of Gary. Once he received unfettered access as an assistant administrator the lone wolf unleashed his scheme. He immediately created the McCauley blog and plagiarized Gary’s words in verbatim. These are the words that Gary used to create the Mulligan blog, “Welcome to our blog dedicated to allll the offspring (and the offspring of the offspring and in-laws too) of Owen and Cathrine Mulligan of New Rochelle, New York”. These are the words of the lone wolf when he created the McCauley blog, Welcome to our blog dedicated to allll the offspring (and the offspring of the offspring and in-laws too) of William and Margaret O'Brian McCauley from the Bronx, New York.”. If once wasn’t enough for the lone wolf he did it again and created the Sergis family blog and these are the words that lone wolf used to create the Sergis blog, “Welcome to our blog dedicated to allll the offspring (and the offspring of the offspring and in-laws too) of Kyriakos H. Sergis and Beatrice (Euterpe) Sergis of New York, New York.”. As one can clearly see the lone wolf stole the words of our beloved Gary. The lone wolf in my opinion views us as props to be toyed with as he completes his goal of a multifamily blog.

As if plagiarism isn’t egregious enough, the lone wolf has decided our personal privacy shouldn’t be private. The lone wolf has taken upon himself to link our family to the outside world. The lone wolf has created other blogs and he has linked those blogs to our family blog. We now have interlopers able to view our shared customs, culture, and history. The lone wolf has also linked us to a teacher’s web page and a newspaper. The lone wolf does not believe in privacy.

The lone wolf has mounted a campaign of intimidation and fear. In his quest for a multifamily blog the lone wolf has intimidated a member of our flock. This loved one “who lives in the windy city” was caught blogging on one of the lone wolf’s blog. The lone wolf ordered our brother from the windy city to blog on his blog rather than our blog. I have been personally attacked by an interloper for posting on our blog. The interloper came on our blog and wanted to know why I didn’t post on the lone wolf’s blog. The lone wolf’s aggression cannot go uncheck. We must unite now and stand up to the lone wolf before we lose our blog.

My fellow family member the lone wolf is a train wreck in the making. If we allow him to continue with his unfettered access to our family blog we can say goodbye to our secularism. In its place will be some sort of multifamilism. No longer will we have our individuality or privacy. We cannot allow a plagiarist, a con man, a bully, in such an important position. He is slowly pursuing his goal to unite all the family blogs under one banner. I do not recommend permanent dismissal since he is a good blogger. I do recommend that he be suspended from all administrative duties. Furthermore, he must remove his plagiaristic words from his blogs, he must apologize to our loved one from the windy city for intimidating him, and he must apologized to our family for plagiary and privacy violations

Boys... big scott, i appreciate your concern for our well being & our rights as members of the mulligan blog however i feel there is room for more than one administrator Gary & Chris can keep each other in check. Also i do feel as well that everyone should be loyal to the mulligan blog first & foremost because it is the original best one of all & the most enjoyable one compared to the copy cats out there!!

when are you going to pics of your beautful kids, house etc???

For the sake of public disclosure the admin did not lobby, solicit, or instigate the writing of the "treatise". I think all know that documents like this develop over the course of years in small cabins set in remote forest, but anyway I have been happy with my administrative assistant (he could wear more skirts but thats a seperate story) he has been a help and made some terrific creatative contributions to OUR blog. I should also point out that he was repremanded once (brief suspension of admin status) for plagerising our blog (which he has done again) but he can rectify this by spewing some original text onto the key areas of the other family blogs..... As for Big S's other points well they speak volumes...whew...there some classic lines in there...

Let the debatee begin!!
