Hah Hah Wikipedia, I started out getting beat up when I tried to edit their Gavin Menzies article, and then fought the gang to a bloody draw on the Newport Tower article, and then I was ready for the big time on the Astrology article as the last of the old-time Wikipedia astrologers was publicly self-immolating. (The cross-fire shifted from the astrology talk page to my personal talk page as my quixotic rear-guard action played out.) With all that under my belt, I was actually able to step in temporarily as an informal arbiter on the Lyndon LaRouche article -- talk about discord.

As for Gaza and all that -- home of Goliath and the Philistines, some people have long memories.

Glutton for punishment. I had no idea there were "Wikipedia astrologers" in the first place.

I got people pretty mad at me for consistently changing the word "debunked" on the "Clinton kill list" Wiki page to "disputed" or even "*widely*-disputed." None of the sources they cited "debunked" anything! It was just more technically correct to phrase it that way!

Thanks for this. Very disappointing

I love how it took me a couple paragraphs to determine if this was written by a leftist fag or a theilite bappnigger

Damn, getting called fags by a guy who reads Bronze Age Pervert, guess you'd be the authority

Wikipedia is a great open source project. Another great open source project is Python. Both are run by a benevolent dictator for life. In a Pythons case the BDFL was Guido van Rossum and he stepped down. Python is as strong as ever. Jimmy you too need to step down, Wikipedia will be just fine without you 😎
