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.

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.
