Anyhow back to my point. Wikipedia is somehow related to Bomis historically, right? This is a well-established fact, no? It says it pretty much everywhere.
Jimbo himself admits that Bomis deals in porn (although it accounts for less than 10% of their revenue).
Thus, I don't see where he gets the idea that the things people are saying are wrong. And why did he just say "you're wrong" instead of explaining, even after Ant asked him for an explanation? He has sent me increasingly rude private e-mails as well rather than discuss it calmly on the list.
One needs to make a distinction between the historical past and its consequences.
I have no personal knowledge of the underlying facts, but for the sake of argument I'm willing to accept that what you say is all true. It then comes down to a matter of "So what?"
At the rate you're going we shouldn't be recognizing Australia as a country because it was established by convicts.
