Wikipedia Sucks!

First read this

then read this

And that's what happened to To Catch A Predator. And to its host.

Plus it helps to explain why Perverted Justice yanked a great deal of information off their website in 2011--including a large database of Wikipedia editors who were favorable to pedophilia. The following was then posted on the talkpage about PJ's Wikipedia article. In recent years, anyone posting criticisms of the PJ group is liable to be attacked by Flyer22.

And yes, PJ members have edited their own Wikipedia article in the past--especially including their absurd "leader", the famed "Xavier Von Erck". Plus loads of sockpuppets. Thereby generating very long talkpage archives going all the way back to 2004. Note the litany of notorious insiders who were deeply involved in 2005-07: SlimVirgin, Will Beback, Modemac, Kelly Martin, Zscout370, Chris Sherlock, Katefan0 and others. Not to mention numerous actual Wikipedia pedos, such as Tyciol, AnotherSolipsist, and VigilancePrime.

Typical Wikipedia; fighting with others takes precedence over making "valid content".

It's rare to see user talk pages deleted, and check out its deletion log.

That is a lot of hand wringing over his talk page. He must have been pressuring people to have it deleted so many times.

Given the two articles Barbour linked to, this is an interesting edit summary:

It's dead typical of WP. They decided that Xavier was "not a nice person" and "not a Wiki-Luvver". Not a "reliable stooge" for their purposes.
Therefore he had to be repeatedly silenced or shouted down. And things had to be covered up.

Xavier was always a fascinating character.

Perhaps but the PJ group doesn't appear to be very successful in recent years. Nowadays if there's no actual criminal prosecution, people resort to "slut-shaming" on Twitter instead (an even worse idea). Thus the #metoo business. It was "mostly useful" in dealing with actual sex predators, although the people who ran it may have also ruined some innocent people's lives. All it takes is one determined liar.

Active lying, or even passive misinterpretation/generalization.

FWIW Mr. Hansen, heroic television host, is goin' to the hoosegow.

Bad checks. Heh.

Any idea if he straightened out those bounced cheques?

"charges were dropped" don't look at me.....it seems he paid the $13k and the company was satisfied.....

In January 2019, Hansen was charged with larceny after a check bounced with a vendor who delivered promotional items.[30] Hansen turned himself in to police in Connecticut on January 14, 2019, for allegedly bouncing checks for nearly $13,000 worth of promotional materials, according to Stamford Police.[31] The charges were later dropped.[32]

On February 28th, 2020, Hansen was charged with harassment by a "civilian" who, according to court documents, said the incident occurred on February 5th. He has not yet entered a plea and is due in court on March 24th.[33]

I still suspect he's a big fat target for somebody, for the past few years his life has been a shitshow.
