Yes, information is bad. We should definitely blame the spread of information for the fact that idiots act like idiots. This fits in perfectly with a foundation whose mission is giving people free access to the sum of all human knowledge.
I think you're failing to draw an adequate distinction between "encyclopedia" and "webhosting/blogging/forum service". On the former we seek to provide information of encyclopedic value, on the latter we let people chatter away, troll. argue about politics, anathematize or proselytize various religions by turn, insult one another and all the other delights of online interaction. In general the kind of behavior that is commonly observed on the latter is frowned upon on this encyclopedia.
