    No, it is flamebait because the holder of the opinion clearly has no grounds upon which to hold it. Moreover, the tone of the post does not speak of the thoughtfulness which you in your anonymity value so highly.

    How is this flamebait? I support wikipedia, it's the people I'm arguing with who don't. I love information. I just don't like the emotional appeals that people make, saying "information [doesn't] want[s] to be free!". Information isn't a living thing. It doesn't want anything...

    If I had the money, I would donate.
