Isn't that article awful? I want to try and get it deleted, but every time I open the page I'm struck with such debilitating ennui that I cannot.
I know! I have that same problem with some of the material here. But on Wikipedia, it must be a million times worse... It's like, "do I really want to open a huge can of worms and cause a massive shitstorm that will result in everyone getting freaked out over nothing, just to get rid of this one stupid article?" And of course the answer for any sane person is "no," and yet, this is what's expected of you, this is what you signed up for, and if you
don't do it, someone from the enemy website is probably going to notice and say something about it. So you can't win.
This is the seamy underbelly of Web 2.0, the fine print, the dirty little secret that nobody tells you about until you're already too far in to get out without feeling guilty about it. It's sucky, and there's just no other word for it.
Ahh, well.
