"I never fully understood the sheer awfulness of the human condition
until last Tuesday. In the course of a debate about mammalian
intelligence, my friend Harlan and I discovered an online encyclopedia
called
Wikipedia.org, a depressingly successful effort to harness the
elusive Power of Loser."
That's brilliant, it's a little insight into the mind of a vandal. He's
calling us all losers for trying to construct something of value. He
attacks the site just out of revulsion for the effort we put in. I guess
if we want to be more than "barely-sapient", we should discard our
geekish ways and go play football.

Don't fret it much. I don't think there's ever been a student
newspaper that wasn't filled with whining students.
