If you ask ED to remove something, they will attack you even more. Where do you think they learnt that from?
You are implying that it could _only_ be from Wikipedia.{{fact}}

That's my theory, do you have another?
Even if ED learnt it elsewhere, it is rather hypocritical of WP to engage in the same activity while noting that is a significant part of what makes ED so bad.
I happen to have been talking, not long ago, to someone professionally involved in cleaning graffiti and obscenities off a website. This person, inured as you might think, explained clearly to me how ED could still disgust and shock. (Yes, I know those guys will find encouragement to greater efforts in that.)
You may think you are cleverly comparing like with like, but that is far from the case.

I have emailed a number of websites asking for removal of hurtful material. The worst are WP and ED, which attack you for even asking. A third almost did so, but concluded I was not funny enough to be worth attacking.
