Wikipedia's Wales Reverses Decision on Problem Admin
ToiletDuck writes "Wikipedia co-founder Jimbo Wales appears to have changed his mind concerning Essjay, the administrator who was caught lying about his academic credentials. Wales issued a statement today on his User Talk page requesting that EssJay voluntarily step down. Wales defended his earlier comment about EssJay, claiming 'I only learned this morning that EssJay used his false credentials in content disputes ... I want to make it perfectly clear that my past support of EssJay in this matter was fully based on a lack of knowledge about what has been going on.' Wales did not comment on whether EssJay would continue to serve in his paid position at Wikia, the for-profit cousin of Wikipedia."

As a libertarian, I can attest to the massive damage the objectivists have done to the movement. It's a philosophy based on a cheap scifi novel, a cult centered around the personality of a woman who railed against cults of personality, and an irrational belief that the universe can be explained in one trite axiom. It's an individualist groupthink circle jerk. It's Scientology without bad Hollywood actors. I'll gladly trade them all in for a handful of stoned anarcho-capitalists.
