Cyclopedia, I don't think you are a bad person and I think even you as a genuine academic can see the shortcomings and messy, hectoring puerility in much of the Wikipedia and wrestle with them too.
Of course I do. My reaction is one of cowardice, if you may want to say so: I usually steer away from such stuff. I wouldn't touch climate changes articles with a km-long stick, for example.
I tried to help to compromise the craziness that is around
historicity of jesus (T-H-L-K-D) , with POV-pushers on both sides (on one side people telling me with a straight face that there's nothing POV in sourcing the historicity of Jesus only with Christian sources; on the other hand people who just wanted to push
Christ myth theory (T-H-L-K-D) as fact); but when a fragile equilibrium seemed to be reached, it crumbled after a few days, and then I threw hands up. Judging on my watchlist, it seems it is in a perpetual state of turmoil, but I don't want to deal with that anymore until the dust settles a bit. I simply don't have the persistence for that stuff.

Luckly I found an Italian girlfriend.
Okay, now the conversation gets interesting. What we need is photographic evidence...preferably snapshots taken at the beach. And does she like horses? (IMG:

We've never gone to the beach together (it's something we both dislike I guess , and UK beaches are, how to say? freezing?) About horses... well, yes, she liked Yorkshire horses, but I doubt she would ever ride one, sorry...
