Sure, and personally I too prefer AD over CE, though I can understand
the rationale there. But to make it a fundamental "commandment" up
there with "true and verifiable" and "no opinion" (and of course,
"American spelling" :)) surprises me.
I also find something odd in Conservapedia accusing Wikipedia of being
"biased", but then taking pride in its own "conservative" stance.
Does
it implicitly accept that it, too, is "biased"? Or does it imply that
a conservative stance is actually a neutral one, and therefore that
Wikipedia is biased simply because it does not adopt that same
conservative point of view?
It's all so confusing! But kudos to Jimbo for his nice quote.
