Don Murphy, OTOH, actually does have an organized group of internet goons (who will probably be the first to admit that they're "goons")
Don Murphy's bio hasn't been deleted yet. Now then, exactly who are the "goons" — Murphy's fanboys, or Jimbo's fanboys?
Jimbo shares responsibility with Binmore for what happened to Livingston's bio. Jimbo committed sins of omission with respect to flagged revisions, and is guilty of nonfeasance on the BLP issue generally. Wikipedia cannot be sued, and Jimbo cannot be sued for his sins either. That doesn't mean that he doesn't share responsibility.
Murphy has used colorful language on this board, but he was absolutely right to start that thread on Livingston. Who knows what BLP Binmore might have infected next if he hadn't been exposed?
Let's get our priorities straight around here!
