I don't doubt that he is entirely sincere in holding that opinion, but
there is a difference between holding a opinion and expressing that
opinion. I think he's expressing the opinion because he is bitter and
it's a convenient criticism for him to make. I don't think he holds
the opinion strongly enough that he would be blogging about it if he
weren't looking for something about Wikipedia to criticise.

I'm really not interested in discussing Larry Sanger, though, so this
will be my last email on the subject.
