Wikipedicoracy and Wikipedia will want to forget they ever said this, so it is important to highlight. The pattern I see, is that Scottywong goes looking for fights and then his level of discourse targets the individual personally, something that is made worse through his position of power. This lea...

Wow. I only just realised there was coverage like this available.... https://time.com/6286635/colleen-ballinger-allegations-controversy/ It is now beyond clear that SSlivers needs to be page banned for extreme POV pushing and SchroCat needs to be page banned for taking an absurdly cautionary view of...

The entire premise of the essay is flat wrong. A prop...

The gold standard of reliable sources...... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66051531 YouTube star Colleen Ballinger has addressed accusations of toxic relationships with fans by posting a video in which she defends herself in a song while playing the ukulele. ....... Last week, Rolling...
