Among other features of the site are a number of articles that attempt to organize leftist POV authors and get them to edit at Wikipedia.
Finally, we have found a wiki to which we can direct our trolls, instead of trying to pawn them off on Meatball or Sheldon's Disinfopedia!
I agree with Stan that this is no threat to us. Trolls are far too focused on provoking people to concentrate on promoting any political agenda, and this site demonstrates that even trolls can be trolled. At best, if it manages to remain coherent, this site might eventually become a place for outside criticism of Wikipedia. And if we're going to present knowledge to the world, criticism comes with the territory. The way to deal with it is to answer it - see [[Wikipedia:Our Replies to Our Critics]].

I would recommend against that, actually. I've talked to Juxho a fair bit, and he's a nice person who is trying to figure out how to have a nice wiki. He didn't say this part, but I think he's just not quite sure what to do about this situation.
