Interesting read.

I made some similar experiences with some really small edits not even related to anything political.

The whole concept of wikis does just not work if anyone can wipe your work away with a single click.

Libertarians are really full of shit!

What’s the deal with J birds and Objectivism? I just sent your excellent re-post to David Runciman at London Review of Books (there is no The) because he makes a bit of a case for Wikipedia having an Objectivist bias. He teaches politics at Cambridge and is the author of The Politics of Good Intentions and Hypocrisy. I guess a big part of his job there is to assist us in determining when to trade in our comfortable old broken in hypocrisies for stiff and stinky new ones. But I digress. I know Ayn Rand was a Jewess, but she was also an atheist which means , according to Daniel Goldhagen, she was no longer Jewish. But that’s the old “They were Objectivists not Jews” argument that Jews are always using
to escape being accused of the complete collapse of the American banking system! I guess I’d better go back and visit Atlas Shrugged before I say another word about Wikipedia or the economy.

You should know there's a "Metapedia" too.

I think all side of a issue should be viewed based on the merits of the arguments made. The past experiences of the groups making them should not change our outlook on such issues. It sucks when you stuff like your not a Jew you weren’t there, and so on and so on. Unless you’re 80 years old neither were you. Your just using the memory of your dead ancestors to make a politic point. No I don’t hate Jews, I just dislike some of the Jewish states policies. I’m Canadian and I dislike many of the things we do as a country and no one ever accuses me of hating Canadians. Should Israel be treated differently then say Canada, I think not.

I personally find both the Arabs and the Jews both try to control the media far to much. The Arabs are paranoid about anything said against is Islam, And of course anything bad you say against the Jews is of course anti semetic. The sad thing with the Jewish groups is many of these people are just using the holocaust to try to sell their Zionist political views. Check out the holocaust industry for a good film about the cheapening of the memory of the holocaust for a quick buck.

Good article.

Actually, I was stupid enough to think that they believed in free speech there (they claim they do), and I actually thought I would get away with flipping a great big huge verbal bird like that. Ah, but I am so naive.

Heh, same here. I was stumped as to why they didn’t settle controversial issues by simply providing both (or all) sides a page for their own version, while perhaps maintaining an “official” view. Eventually I figured out how the system worked and that it was under the thumb of the propagandists. Nicholas Stixx’s article explaining their shenanigans was also enlightening.

Certainly all ethnic warfare, Jewish or otherwise, needs to be seriously slammed by all principled progressives as antithetical to both our universalist ethics and to basic norms of human decency.

Yawn. So why not support the only known means of suppressing it? Separate the warring factions. Or is that too commonsensical?
