There's a very big difference between Ogrish and

Memory Hole.
I'm not suggesting that Ogrish be considered equivalent to
Memory Hole on a reliability continuum. It is rather odd,
however, that somebody rather high up in the Wiki chain of
command removed a link to MH using reasoning similar to
that used to remove the Ogrish link.
Ogrish is designed to shock. It includes official
blog
postings signed
with "Murder & Mayhem", and unofficial commentary in the
forum that
makes it very clear that for most people using the site,
their
motivation comes from a fascination with death and gore.
Take, for example, that Ogrish will accept anything. If
you go here:
http://www.ogrish.com/submit.html
Youll see that you must submit and describe the content
for Ogrish to review.
Yes, it caters to a particular type of content. That,
however, is not a criticism made of business or medical
journals, so why here? The Wall Street Journal is
considered an expert on business issues, yet it comes with
a significant ideological bias that can bias even basic
financial reporting. Why not consider Ogrish an expert on
gore? It's reasonable to say they have developed a
knowledge of what is and is not real when it comes to gore
submissions that Wikipedia and most other news/information
sources can not claim.
