You're right, my mistake. Sorry I did not get your allusion, just as you
didn't get the entire point of the Signpost piece. These things happen.

Robert Fernandez thinks it is "remarkably

**are scum"* in quotation marks as if it were a quotation from the
Signpost. No. This is a quotation, which perhaps he did not recognise, from
a rather long-standing and well-known essay,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Anti-elitism which discusses this
very issue and is a convenient and common way of summarising the attitude
exhibited in the article.
Does Robert have any views on the topic of this thread?
