That straw man has resurfaced so many times that I'm tempted to coin 
a new term, "[[Bobblehead doll]] argument", for one which keeps 
bouncing back up every time it's knocked down.

As others have said, it's not as a source in an article that anybody 
has been or intends on using that site (except perhaps for a future 
article on the site itself, if it should become sufficiently notable, 
or maybe on [[Criticisms of Wikipedia]] -- the sole thing that it 
would ever be a source for would be about itself and the views 
espoused by its participants).  The places it might turn up include 
discussion and project pages, which are not subject to WP:V, WP:RS, 
or even WP:NPOV.
