Sure, but none of their criticisms are about the developers; they're all about the editors and admins. Don't get me wrong -- I've read through the site, and sometimes they seem like assholes -- but I think that the question deserves serious thought: are attack sites like this just a product of the huge wikipedia userbase, or are wikipedia's problems severe enough that WikiTruth is an understandable response? I think the answer is the former, but every time attacks are answered with mockery rather than thought I get nudged toward the latter.

I don't agree with wikitruth, but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly ironic about them using a wiki: they're anti-wikipedia, not anti-wiki or anti-free-software.
It's not so much that they are using a wiki. It is that they are using software they it primarily designed to run Wikipedia and Wikipedia projects. Thus they accept our developers at least know what they are doing.
