I'm assembling my armies of the night
First I'm going to get Hans Adler fired for loving homeopathy. Then I'm going to get Jim Butler imprisoned for impersonating a medical doctor. The I'm going to kill Levine2112 by breaking his back with vertebral subluxation unrelated to chiropractic. Then I'm going to expose Elonka for being an amateur cryptographer with delusions of grandeur. Then I'll put fluoride in ImperfectlyInformed and MaxPont's water to poison them.


Seriously, all, get the FUCK OFF MY TALKPAGE.

Seriously, this place needs to lighten up and the lot of us should dig our heads out of our asses. All of us here write for the shittist encyclopedia known to humanity that people use when they are too lazy to move away from their computer screens or are too stupid to know the difference between "quality control" and "lack of quality control". I'm so happy that we've got a community that welcomes with open arms the wayward souls who write stilted poetry about how "chirosceptics" are shills for drug companies, how gaming conventions are the epitome of culture, how spirits are talking to them through static on the radio, and how homeopathy cured them of hay fever. Yeah, that's who I want writing my encyclopedia. A bunch of idiots.

You really think so? So have a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=255570833

As I mentioned on another thread, it's a total burnout.

A pity. A real pity.


No, it's the natural progression of an encyclopedia run by techno-weenies who do not have any respect for people who know more than them about anything. I don't argue with Lar about Lego trains, but I can promise that if I were to fix all of wikipedia's articles on Economics, which remain, to this day, filled with the fringest of the techno-anarchist-austrian-fringe crazyness, Lar would come down like a ton of bricks on me when, for example, SlamDiego, who has been crazifying the "encyclopedia" (a fascist apologist and austrian economics supporter) for over 2 years, started reverting me.

That reminds me; I can't help feeling Minimum wage is just a little biased.

EDIT: eh, looking at it again, it's not quite as bad as I thought. The lead is all "minimum wage is evil" though
