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]].
