Wait, before we get there, I actually want Cla68 nominated for the Dick award, based on this request against Science Apologists. I know people here like Cla and all that and gots problems with SA but the whole request just encapsulates numerous problems with Wikipedia:
*The whole request is based on some Wikilawyering bullshit about how SA is violating some civility or topic ban guidelines - I've looked through the relevant diffs and they're all about removing total crap from articles, though sometimes with snarky edit summaries. Hey all you folks (*cough*Malleus*cough*) who always complain about the "civility police" and bitch about how content contributors are under appreciated, where are you now?
*As far as I can tell, though I'm not as knowledgeable in Wikipedia lore and history as others, Cla's not involved in these articles at all, but is just bringing it up because he's got some kind of problem with SA prolly stemming from some kind of personal grudge. Again, typical crap that makes Wikipedia a social hellhole. Maybe I'm missing something.
*As far as I can tell, I'm sure SA is an asshole but that's what you turn into when you have to deal with moronism repeatedly on Wikipedia. I probably wouldn't like him if I ever got to interact with him. But part of being intellectually honest, not to mention grown up, on Wikipedia as in real life, is admitting that certain people, however obnoxious they may be, happen to be right at certain times.

I've been depressed lately because none of the candidates on the list are ones that I can really get behind. This deserves to be on there.
