Larry Sanger did many good things for Wikipedia, set

respect other people and believed he could bulldoze them, based on his
authority as a Wikipedia administrator and as an expert in academic
philosophy. His contributions may have correctly parroted was is being
taught in freshman philosophy courses, I grant that, but there is no
doubt that perspective can be improved on.
- From what I've heard - and I could be gravely mistaken - and I apologise
if I am - Larry's approach was "I have more degrees than you, I made
this whole thing happen, therefore I must be right".
Sounds exactly like the sort of elitism he warns against.
Again, I apologise in advance if I am wrong about this. Please correct
me if I am. Don't leave me ignorant of the facts.
