    and if you really tried to frame someone I hope you like sharing rooms with rough men because that's where you are headed.

    Dear Sir,

    I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms, about the comment which you have just submitted about the rough men that are frightening to be in the same room with.
    Many of my best friends are rough men, and only a few of them are transvestites.

    Yours faithfully,

    Well, I'd more care to use the real apostrophe, real quotes, the ellipsis character, list point, wide dash, Euro symbol, mathematical symbols, write foreign names and many other useful characters, that are on my keyboard. :)

    Go search for it in my comment history. You will find very old comments saying what I said here.

    Yes, MY best shot at fixing this. Because, other than you, I actually think about fixing things and helping out people, instead of just ranting, and insulting people who try to help you.
    Actually, ideas are my business. It's what I'm good at, and what I pay my food with. If I were gospel-singing bricklayer, I would build a tower, and sing about it.
    What do you bring to the table to fix it? Hm?

    I find it funny that you -- with that attitude of yours -- think you even remotely know what the vast majority of people think.
    I think you should put a picture of you on the Wikipedia site for "crab mentality", and then protect it. Because with that "what I think is what everyone thinks" p.o.v., you most certainly are an admin there.

    Wikipedia is a broken experiment, for exactly the reasons I stated in GP comment. You did not bring a single argument to the table that attacked them. You chose to rather argue "ad hominem", and with distractions that did no counter anything. Mainly the distraction about "the abuse of the brand" ...of a organization, that is seemingly completely open, but in reality is quite the opposite. Which is exactly the point of GP post.

    And this is where we come full circle.

    Before that, I had a Pentium 133, and some ridiculously low amount of ram. Yet WinAMP never posed problems, even in the times where MP3s was brand-new, and I still had to download MP2s!

    Well, you should know that he went insane from a disease that did destroy his power to control his emotions, in some TNG episode.

    But I always wondered why anyone would think that it would be an ideal to not have emotions. Is is a horrible, weak, lame state, that drives you insane by not letting you use the natural psychological repair functions of your brain. And well, it would just suck to never feel a thrill, love, and all the cool stuff.

  15. Re:Open-minded folks at Wikipedia? on Wikipedia Threatens Artists For Fair Use · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Nope. Wikipedia became -- as I perfectly predicted -- a horrible joke of itself.

    "Everyone can edit" is dead and gone forever. A ruling class has established. And they are controlling Wikipedia reality and laws now. Getting in gets harder and harder, as more and more entry rules and hierarchy levels get implemented.

    I wonder if anyone ever really believed that it would "just work" with giving access to everyone. I mean, sure, we all had a strong wishful thinking syndrome. I quite possibly was one of Wikipedia's strongest defenders. But I soon realize how stupid and ridiculous it really is.
    I mean what other community allows anyone to anonymously write whatever he thinks he's right? 4chan. We should have looked at how that turned out.^^

    Interestingly (or not so interestingly), it went the same way that every other organizational system goes. The bigger it gets, the more the opinions differ.
    But nobody is wrong, because on many many subjects, it is either impossible to determine the physical truth, or the whole thing is just relative to the person, which is a basic law of physics, that is somehow completely ignored at Wikipedia.

    My best shot at fixing this, would implement the possibility for an infinite cascading views [like CSS cascading rules are creating the final layout] for one article, and reality-relationship models, where you could choose who to trust on what subjects (also in a cascading manner [again, like CSS rules]).
    So I could perhaps choose "Jon Steward" as my basis, extend with some scientists that i know, and add an overlay of what a friend thinks about the politics in his country, to form my view of Wikipedia.

    Now this may sound like the reality distortion of Fox. But in reality, you will not change what someone thinks, when he does not trust you. And my method is a software model of this.
    And there really are things, where two completely opposite views are rightfully true for both people. Nobody has the right to censor or dominate those views.
    And, hell, why not. My philosophy is, that everybody can think whatever he likes to think. As long as he does not hurt me (directly or indirectly [eg. by hurting friends]). No matter how crazy he is. Wouldn't I be the oppressor for not allowing him to think that way? If he's all by himself... so what? Let him be, if he's happy that way. :)
