On tonight's Simpsons episode, an imprisoned criminal tells his visiting girlfriend to kill the guy who's been editing his biography in Wikipedia. Gasp... harrassment of a Wikipedian! Stop linking to that evil show right away!
Are you unaware of the difference between mentions of Wikipedia, criticisms of Wikipeida and its editors , and harassment of editors?
Harassment is a different thing from criticism.

All joking aside, if one had to classify this as harassment or criticism, I would say the former. But of course it's neither, it's parody.
But if Daniel Brandt instead of Matt Groening had something like this up, I guarantee that a lot of people would be screaming for even further sanctions against him (whatever that might be).
BTW, The Simpsons is still funny. ~~~~
