Also about this:

“It’s time to call shenanigans on what is, without a doubt, the biggest failed social experiment of our time: Wikipedia.”

Another good example: note that the “talk” page for the “gamer gate” page on Wikipedia is still seeing angry conversations, as of today:

——————

@Gamaliel: What new accounts? What does your closing and hiding of this thread have to do with new accounts editing the article? The thread had nothing to do with new accounts editing the article or not editing it. We were talking about how people respond to reader feedback on the talk page, not editing the article. What kind of grounds for closing and hiding a thread is this? As the grounds given for closing and hiding this thread make no sense whatsoever, I will open it again after waiting an appropriate amount of time. Chrisrus (talk) 20:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Chrisrus again unilaterally declares that “the grounds given for closing and hiding this thread make no sense.” They make sense to the rest of us. This is simply disruptive editing. Will someone please take the appropriate steps already? Thanks! MarkBernstein (talk) 21:23, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

re: kink and the victoria. the irony runs even deeper. i originally approached kink to produce marriage 2.0 as a follow up to ‘an open invitation’ which i did with them in 2010. but the head of production at the time (since fired) passed, saying that such a movie wasn’t possible to make with adult performers due to the heavy reliance on dialog and acting. they were still licking their wounds from ‘cherry’ at the time. i approached multiple theaters in SF and oakland but only the victoria agreed to allow the shoot.

I had Bruce on my blogroll for *years* — but somewhere pre-Snowden he got boring for awhile and I removed the link. Probably a mistake in hindsight.

@David, thank you for that. I don’t think it’s a small nitpick at all, I just wish I’d made it clear in the first place. Thanks again, my bad, and great catch.

” It’s time to call shenanigans on what is, without a doubt, the biggest failed social experiment of our time: Wikipedia.”

That is a conversation (on the Talk page) that would have been very different if the majority of editors on Wikipedia were female. In some of the comments I detected a note of homophobia from some of the self-identified males.

Tiny, *tiny* little nitpick, but… North Las Vegas is a wholly different city from Las Vegas. You may want to consider revising your headline to reflect that.
