The blog post Wiki wiki whak by a pseudonymous "Dr Zen" is an outstanding dissection of Jimmy Wales' recent essay in The Guardian.

Please read it. It's very long, but so worthwhile.

QUOTE
Whenever I read the pronouncements of Jimmy Wales, I want to slap the smug fuck. His recent article in the Guardian provoked no different a feeling.


QUOTE
Clearly, Wales does not read Wikipedia, which demonstrates very clearly that humans are exactly that [irrational captives to their background and identity]. Contentious issues are battlegrounds, on which people show no objectivity at all. Indeed, in Wikipedia, "objectivity" is measured by how much support you have.

But his only activity in several months was to show up on my talk page yesterday to sneer at me for being a "WR partisan"; for some reason, despite being a Wikipedia critic himself, he has an irrational hatred of this site and has called for the banning from Wikipedia of anybody who participates in or links to WR.

I thought it was that Relato soandso or someone on WP?

I guess we should have warned you, Greg, that Dr. Zen/Grace Note is banned here before you invited him to come to the forum. He and Blissy did not get along well in any sense. sad.gif
