Molly White is running a blog bitching about NFTs and crypto

It's an easy target, but I suspect she's merely doing this for attention. And she got some:

Granted, it's a bit "odd": none of these bloggers and squawkers noted that Molly is one of the most powerful people on Wikipedia. And the Metafilter thread is the usual long pile of unreadable whining. So is the Hacker News thread. She's TRIGGERING a bunch of neolibertarian twats, which is not difficult at all.

Are you sure Molly wants attention?

oh and just by the by

Suffice it to say, Zawinski has strong feelings about blockchain technology and the cryptocurrencies and NFTs that make use of it. He's not alone in that sentiment, either: Shortly after Zawinski's tweet and Mozilla's change of heart, Wikipedia editor GorillaWarfare opened a request for comment on Wikimedia's meta-wiki calling for the organization to stop accepting cryptocurrency donations, citing Zawinski's tweet and Mozilla's reaction.

And it failed to mention her blog.

Jesus these people talk stupid even when they're really trying not to talk stupid. And I thought MzMcBride was b& forever.

maybe just a little?

Oh yeah.. I had a run in with Gorilla Warfare when I tried (in earnest) to remove a link to Child Pornography from Wikipedia.

How much of a misogynist can I be on Wikipedia Sucks before getting banned?

--Molly White needs to get laid. something is seriously wrong with her.

Her sister (picture below) looks better adjusted.

To take a Gorilla Warfare quote-snippet entirely out of context. I would say that Wikipedia is a predatory and inherently harmful technology .

Very funny

Just a few reminders:

Not the most successful RFA in history. Lots of insiders really didn't like her. Would love to see Corbett's opinion of Molly today.

Molly White admits to being MENTALLY ILL and does damage control by calling for neurodiversity.



"I am most likely on the autism spectrum (Asperger's has been deprecated as a diagnosis, fyi), and it's no more of a mental illness than your assholery. For what it's worth, I'm also '''actually''' mentally ill, as are many other editors, and we are able to contribute quite productively, thanks. I see no shame in talking about neurodivergence and neurodiversity is an important part of our community. It's incredibly inappropriate to demean other editors for being open about mental illness OR neurodivergence. There are plenty of legitimate, kind, helpful critiques for this editor. Him being open about being on the spectrum is not one of them."

Classic Wikipedian backstab: losing the argument? Tell everyone you have some kind of physical or mental disability and the other guy is "being mean" to you.

Sounds like something middle-schoolers would do? You got it.

I find it hard to disagree with this statement actually. Many editors do seem mentally ill including many of the admins.
