I didn't think anyone wondered who JzG is - he's an angry bloke from Reading, England called Guy Chapman who has been on the internet for years. He's cut from a completely different cloth to JayJg and is about as close to the North American ADL as Mel Gibson.
Mr. Chapman had the unmitigated gall to offer to be my friend on Facebook just the other day. I, of course, rejected his overture; why would I want to go on record as being friends with this ignoble creature?
Kelly, I think you take Facebook far too seriously tongue.gif
I think it would be difficult to take Facebook much less seriously than I do presently. smile.gif

For all his hotheadedness, honestly I think JzG has really been a net positive to the project

Heh! Riiiiiight!

His arse certainly isn't. It's where his brain should be.

Actually, I believe it is precisely because of his "hotheadedness" that he has been a "net positive". Guy has long been in the van of those destroying Wikipedia from within. His interludes of sanity and rationality appear to be getting shorter and less frequent.

Actually, after FT2 was hoisted by his own petard, I start to look forward to the day Guy "steps down" with more optimism.

BTW, I do not mean any number of false wiki-retirements he already is a master of.
