Sort of a tangential topic from the timidguy case, which seems to be an issue of paid editing and Jimbo's ever lasting hate of it. I know we had the Kohs issue in the past but what's his issue with paid editing?

In which Jimbo and others decide that it's OK to 'out' paid editors.

We simply don't have the kind of time at our hands to compete with a paid editor


Nor do people people with proper jobs and family commitments have time to argue with people with no proper jobs pushing strange ideas about sex, political activism, crank theories of all kinds.

So it's really the ordinary public who lose. Paid editors and nutcases win.
