I voted for Edit wars will break out into real life because it's the funniest, and there's something so right about it, i.e. I can truly see it happening one day at some Wikipedia convention or other.
That would be most amusing, but really, it won't happen. The whole culture of the place is oriented
around backstabbing and manipulation, not confrontation. Basement-dwellers have poor muscle tone
from mass-consuming Cheetos and Jolt Cola, and know damn well that the other guy might kick their
asses good if they picked a real-world fight. So they pull dirty tricks online instead.
That's what an evil patroller is: a hapless nerd, unhealthy and weak, using Wikipedia to have power over others.
Seriously, though, I'm still amazed that someone hasn't walked into a Wikimania with an assault rifle, and
just gone totally berserk. Those fools have stiffed and screwed uncounted thousands of people over the
past 11 years, all over the world. It just takes one Anders Breivik or Seung-Hui Cho to create a massacre.
Why isn't there more out-of-Matrix violence associated with Wikipedia? The only really notorious, dangerous
"stalker" they've had was Amorrow. I defy you to name another one.
A website that millions of people use every day, and they have so few unbalanced enemies and pissed-off
victims willing to come forward, even to simply talk about it? Why?
