Good god. First off, the site is called wikipedia. It is a free-as-in-speech encyclopedia/encyclopaedia depending on what flavor/flavour of english you speak.
No, it isn't. Chinese people are censored. Banned people are censored. Wikipaedia certainly isn't free speech.
free-as-in-speech is an expression to seperate that free from free-as-in-free-beer. And chinese people are not censored by wikipedia. They are blocked by their government. Show me where in the blocking policy it lists 'being chinese' as a criterion for a block.
That doesn't change the name of the
site being wikipedia, not wikipaedia. So stop being childish about the
name,
it's messing with my filters.
Do you want to write me a program to correct my spelling? Alternatively, you could add 'Wikipaedia' to your filters.
I'd rather you just stop acting like you're eight. I shouldn't have to go out of my way to correct something that could be solved by you using correct spelling. It makes you look more petty each time it's brought up and you refuse.
Secondly, for all that is holy, no one cares about this anymore,
Or, to be specific, most of the people who care about it are being censored.
no, the majority of people who bring this up are massive trolls hoping to stir up people like you against everyone else. Don't fall for the bait, man.
the system works well,
Hurting people isn't working well.
We don't hurt people. Sometimes we have to remove a community member, but we don't all go out and lynch random people we dislike. 'Hey look, it's Eddie! He looked at me funny last night!'
we are not about to collapse,
You already have, or what was that on /. ?
Because, you know, the community is in disarray and theres no encyclop(a)edia. Missed that happening over lunch, did I?
and the only people who disagree
are those fringe wackos at WR who are convinced we're CIA and MI5 and whatever else the dreamed up this week.
I disagree, and I happen to support SlimVirgin.
Not everyone on WR is the same.
Who the hell brought slimvirgin into this? See, that's all these people obsess over.
And if you are honestly comparing us
to ED, well, you've then shown you are incapable of logic or reason, reverting to hyperbole to try to shove a pointy stick where a
good,
well thought argument would normally go, and it's about time you got
modded
again.

You have not explained why WP is not worse than ED.
I have explained why it is. Firstly, both WP and ED will attack you for even asking harmful material to be removed. WP attacks you seriously, whereas ED... well, no one in their right mind would take ED seriously.
ED has made me throw up. WP has caused serious damage to my liver.
I don't have to show that. 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence' and all that. You have yet to show anything. You spout nothing but hyperbole and nonsense, hoping some sticks, when it's patently false. Seriously. we're sorry you feel running a tor exit node is more important then editing. We are. But *you* made that choice, not us. We never forced you to run it, and we never told you you couldn't take it down. All this stems from that. you can kill the tor daemon and solve this all quickly, or you can quit whining about something that was a policy when you signed up and was known to you.
