Moral bankruptcy?, The Butler in the library with the canlestick Options

[communicat]

Old fashioned pacifists (and even WP:NPOV rules, surprisingly) believe there are always two or more sides to a story, and all significant sides merit equal attention if anything resembling "truth" is ever to be arrived at. Paradoxical thing is, when someone tries to do so (both at WP and at WR), he/she is promptly labelled "commie". It's reminiscent of the Catholic leading figure (I forget his name) who once observed: "When I gave people food, they called me a saint; when I asked why people were poor, they called me a communist." I suggest the latter is because people like to cover up their own moral bankruptcy, but I'm open to correction. Like I said, there are always two or more sides to a story. Maybe.

I guess I could move it for you but in all fairness WR bought the farm some time ago. Maybe it the endless debating society of H Anthony and Milton. Maybe the endless waves of the hordes of Wikipedia. My rubbing Molton's face in his own racism didn't help. Neither did your own creep-out obsession with the details of Mr. Wales personal life. But I'll move it to the annex.

No offense GBG (because I completely understand why you would feel that way), but maybe you guys should recruit some new mods who think judicious moderating could actually improve the place.

I would come back as a Global Moderator if things are really bad. Keep in mind though...

I was like this coming to WR:

Then I became a mod:

Now, I am a former mod:

If I return, I'll be a:

And there will be (proverbial) blood.

*Note to Mod: I never did figure out how to re-size photos on this forum. Could someone fix the above and tell me how to do so?

I sincerely think it would far better to shutter the site. Even if a new crop of moderators performed flawlessly and optimized participation with the sites current participants and anyone likely to join in it would not accomplish anything I'd see as worthwhile. In the mean time there are still a few things worth saying in the rubble of the site including but no limited to "it would be better shutter the site."

Indeed. *sigh*

Point, defeated.
