- "Wikipedia is not an experiment in democracy" or "Wikipedia is not a democracy" – a very unlucky rant that became the key despotic pseudo-guideline, only following David's and Jimbo's greatly misconceived January 2005 self-empowerment statements: "Wikipedia is not primarily an experiment in Internet democracy." – "It's an encyclopedia, not an experiment in democracy. We *are* a grand social experiment of course. But not _primarily_."
- WP:Ignore all rules – another twisted and often conjoined despotic pseudo-guideline out of misconception of the above; greatly misused and abused by many, many long-standing serial trolls and other (self-declared) "primary" contributors. (Larry already got it in 2002).
