    I'm not too happy them being able to just up and ban an entire group from editing, especially since they've touted wikipedia as this thing "for the people, by the people" but I guess if they have explicitly stated rules and they're broken, they're not exactly in the wrong.

    Pretty much.

    Freedom is awesome, but it has to have it's limits.

    Seriously I get the complaint but really

    This site with user-generated content only has content that the legions of geeks on the internet know about

    More content on those topics than on ordinary things

    I don't know how this could have happened on a site where everything is created by the users

    The ratio of nerd stuff/relevant stuff is probably less in favor of nerd stuff on Wiki than most of the internet.

    The number of articles may have a huge difference but man those nerd articles more than make up for it in length

    Nah. I usually only browse wiki when I am on a mission for knowledge.

    Knowledge that may or may not be reliable.

    I can browse TVTropes forever, but that's hardly unusual.

    Wikigroaning is a thing based entirely on the fact that nerd articles are usually ten times the length of a related but not nerdy counterpart

    Google it and find the original SA front page about it

    Speaking of SA teefs you read LF right, what's your opinion of that dude who they donated hella money to

    I wonder when The Church will just go ahead and make their own Wiki.

    Everything has it's own wiki now. Anything that's become it's own popular franchise in some way probably has a wiki.

    There's even a Twilight Wiki. Ugh.

    Well, Knol doesn't seem much friendlier of a place for Scientology.

    You guys didn't forget about Knol did you?

    Maybe the wiki will end up having a large internal fight, breaking off to form new wikis. Wikis with chat threads.

    what are his merits
    I don't know about them being plural, but he likes Werner Herzog and that's good enough to carry him a long way.

    I seriously have gotta see that movie
    He has a couple.

    do you have some compulsion to create situations in which everyone on the forum will gang up on you? because it sure seems like it.

    here's an idea for you: if someone is insulting you, dont turn around and insult a forumer that people don't shit on regularly.

    bardi what is going on in your sig and why is it so cool

    its a picture of space shuttle Atlantis crossing the sun after fixing the Hubble space station.

    and it is indeed awesome

    edit: defender it seems like people generally like teefs. or at least some people.

    runcubed, however, would be hard pressed to find anyone who appreciates his presence on this forum or feels a desire to defend him in any way ever

    edit2: not that i'm trying to defend teefs, just pointing out that the way he is trying to deflect an insult isn't really going to work
