Re: Why We Hate Wikipedia / Ten things you probably didn't know about Wikipedia

Even if Jimbo did run it, we know he cannot be trusted. I mean just look at the stuff he said in an interview about the consensus system, citing it as "we're an open democracy." Gee, you noticed -- what a bad liar he really is. Even the most crass politicians have to choose their words carefully wh...

Re: "Why the internet isn't FUN anymore"
