is "ghoul" a nicer way of saying "spook"? maybe spook is out of favor because of the racial connotation

No, it's just an insult to emphasize how evil these people are.

Here's a pretty thorough list of all of the bad things she's done, ironically by someone trying to make her look good: https://archive.is/IWBuD

They aren't trying to make her look good, they're being sarcastic.

This woman's resume could not make it more obvious she's a spook. Almost every natsec and foreign policy think tank you can think of shows up in her resume. Extremely concerning that the board of Signal, a private messaging app, counts among her positions. It's open source, yes, but its anti-spam sy...

• to be focused singlemindedly on writing an encyclopedia, not on Usenet-style debate, —A-minus. Plenty of pedantic debate over style and policy, to be sure, but given the potential for endlessly sidetracking political debate, given the universal set of content, a very good job focusing on the ency...

It makes no sense to me that Wikipedia should even be covering current events at all. Even ignoring the issue that such articles are ground zero for the political bias problem on Wikipedia, covering news doesn't seem to be in line with its aim of functioning as an encyclopedia.

Dismissive atti...

She's more of a State Department ghoul than a CIA ghoul. Not there's much of difference between the two. The liberal NGO machine she operates in is largely a State Department proxy.

Speaking of right-wing Wikipedians, don't forget about Equinox. Just from seeing his history, you can tell he is very right-wing. Apparently he even did Nazi apologia on Discord. In general, the English Wiktionary is much more right-wing than Wikipedia, especially its admins. Has there been any app...

I would say relaxed sourcing requirement with the caveat that the language of the article should be more strictly policed. Completely avoiding bias is not possible no matter how hard you try, so I've always thought we should stick to the next best thing. The next best thing is what Larry Sanger has ...

Could you elaborate further on how you got banned? I'm curious to know. On 4chan it was for off-topic posts. On reddit, the account bans were, first, for unspecified "hate speech" and I have no idea what I posted on that account that could be construed as such; then for ban evasion when when I was ...
