I posted a comment about this. I don't think Wikipedia's free speech, and it's also not accountability. Anonymous editors seem to get unequal treatment, and using your name there, if anything, subjects you to libel and poor treatment.

Also, again I see the numbness and defensiveness in talking about problems with Wikipedia. Blocks abound, but hopefully talking about it in here will help shed some light on the topic.

Thanks!

WR has another link here, and I responded that I'd posted a comment.
