To remove him simply because he . . . <br /><br />You know, it's times like these that I wish there was an actual administrator at Wikipedia that you could contact and report the douche bags you're dealing with here.

They go around acting as if there's a limit on the space available, when there is no such practical limit. Wikipedia used to be a great place to go to find relatively obscure information about niche subjects, but now there are a crowd who are trying to reduce the functionality of the site. That one guy in the AfD discussion, "THAT TIME IS NOW OVER!" Fuck that guy. Wikipedia has become a place where a few people are trying to control the discussion across the culture, and they are able to do so because they have stacked the deck to make it possible.<br /><br />The funny thing is, I've been noticing that fewer and fewer people seem to reference, or even start at, Wikipedia than used to do so. Heck, almost the only times I go there anymore are when Google pushes me toward it.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.com
