Tis a shame that requirement "reasonable" doesn't apply to those in power positions. huh.gif Reasonable in Wikipedia-land seems to have a subjective meaning, and/or it's some kind of secret code. tongue.gif

I read that article and all the comments.

You'd have to be pretty gullible to swallow up that piece of propaganda and get hooked into editing there after reading that. Even writing articles there is hardly enjoyable, let alone vandalism reversion.

The comments are flooding in to "correct" the framework which Jimbo has laid out here. Or, as one comment suggests (and I agree with) -- the framework that whoever wrote this for Jimbo has laid out.
