wales's official teenage-mindset opinion is that he "doesn't talk to the Register". I wonder how that translates to the Associated Press. Maybe he should get gerard to send over a UK-flavoured "Fukoffffff !!" [said with 2 fingers up, slurred, after a few pints] to the AP. this is worse than the essjay scandal, in that WP has no idea how to handle PR dirtsturms

QUOTE(thekohser @ Fri 21st December 2007, 7:56pm) It's been about an hour, and we're up to 61 re-prints in various mainstream media. I wonder why these esteemed journalistic publications and TV stations would be so quick to re-print something that is clearly a "tempest in a teapot" and really a "non-story"? Too funny. Although, I do fear for Brian Bergstein's Wikipedia article now. Greg mantanmoreland can't be happy. a fellow Northwestern journalism grad diggs hard at WP.

Especially in the wake of this recent post from Jimbo... QUOTE(Jimbo Wales on foundation-l @ Dec 21, 2007, 8:02 AM) I am unsure what we should do about foundation-l. It has become a sewer. It is difficult to balance our very strong desire for an unmoderated forum where people can feel comfortable making strong criticisms (nothing wrong with that!) with a forum where trolls are exhausting a lot of good people and spreading misinformation due to the inability of others to keep up with the sheer volume of malice.
--Jimbo Ermm, Jimbo... I'd say that it's merely a forum where critics are getting exhausted due to their inability to keep up with the sheer volume of your idiotic management decisions and lack of any sign of contrition after you make them. I have to say, Bergstein really did nail the lead sentence: QUOTE The foundation that runs — and accepts donations for — the online encyclopedia Wikipedia neglected to do a basic background check before hiring a chief operating officer who had been convicted of theft, drunken driving and fleeing a car accident. From the get-go, he casts doubt for all of the people who have ever contributed money to this corrupt monarchy that keeps feeding them the lie to just "trust us, trust us, trust us". Greg P.S. For how much longer will this protection be the status quo? This post has been edited by thekohser:

How long until Jimmy or Godwin is on the phone bitching to the AP? How long until secret emails about harassment float around, with all fingers pointing here? Because, y'know, WR put the gun in Doran's hand and said "Go free, be a fugitive." QUOTE(thekohser @ Fri 21st December 2007, 12:11pm) P.S. For how much longer will this protection be the status quo? They'll try to call out BLP1E. Except, er, she's shot people, had famous family, been arrested, been COO of a major organization... they're screwed. She's fully notable.
