I hope Wikipedia can overcome its obviously difficult problems, and let
me add that I don't expect the Citizendium to be free of problems when
it's bigger, either. They'll just be different, and I hope not so
fundamental.

Wonder if they'll ban him for trolling wikien-l.

Disillusioned Lackey

No. He didn't cross the line. His barb was veiled in pseudo-thoughfulness, albeit not if you know the details. Or especially if you are Jimbo.

Banning him for something like that would get news press attention. And they are up to their ears in that. Ok, waist-deep in it. Ears come later.

I was half expecting David Gerard to reply with "fuck off, troll"...sadly he didn't.

But hey, Jimbo still might!

That kinda depends on where their heads are at.

I'm guessing ears first, waist second.

I think it would be more accurate to say un-co-founder.

For those who don't follow obscure JC references, in Scots dialect "unco" means "uncouth" or "bizarre, unholy".

Glad you're unsure. Unco actually means "strange, unusual, notable" as an adjective and "remarkably, very" as an adverb.
