The Snoopy Calendar http://www.users.on.net/~farnik/wikicgi/wiki.pl?SnoopyCalendar http://www.users.on.net/~farnik/wikicgi/wiki.pl?SnoopyCalend... is what Real Programmers http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html have taped to the wall . . . Seriously, Wikipedia has become DAMAGING . . . why? because I am intimately acquainted with a certain topic (religious) and - after scouring the web for months - I finally found THE, THE definitive informational resource for said topic, in the form of a website, I proceeded to add links to the website to the existing related articles. I had never contributed, as I felt that what I had to contribute was not truly worthwhile . . . until I found that site, and realized I could contribute something of high value. What happened? The FREAKS DELETED ALL I CONTRIBUTED. Links to a site that had no ads, no commercial links, ALL FREE, all accurate, all simply priceless, as there is a serious lack of accurate info on that religion . . . From that moment on, I wonder HOW MANY, JUST HOW MANY great sources of information I will never know existed after using Wikipedia . . . the thing is a cancer, a black hole, a false sign, an utter failure if you ask me, because (and this is the kicker) links that lead to 100% erroneous information in the articles I contributed to, those, why, THOSE didn't get deleted! Bunch of ignorant, arrogant, little thugs running that site . . . it's a travesty.

are you by any chance a Scientologist?

  No, I am not. Not by far. I know you did not ask, but I am a Vodouisant, as in, the Vodou (oftentimes spelled "Voodoo") religion is my religion. I am also - at the same time as if often the case - Roman Catholic (no relation to my username either BTW :-) ) as I was raised Roman Catholic. Am I militant about my religion? No. Do we aim to "convert" people? No! Newcomers are a PITA if you ask me. Am I tolerant of all other religions other than Islam? Yes. Is my life dominated by religion? Not at all. I keep things in perspective. Are there reliable and accurate sources of information for Vodou? Hardly. I can count the online sources in one hand. The whole thing with Wikipedia was just horrid, I truly do think it was partially motivated by plain racism, as Vodou is basically a black people's religion, although it is open to all races and sexual orientations.

    A-ha! Another racist and/or religiously intolerant character just downmodded me . . . unbelievable. Well, here's the thing folks: HACKERS simply don't do that . . . there are way too many people here that simply don't belong here, and need to scram like pronto. Edit in reply to comment below: Mayhaps I should have stated that I disapprove of its tenets of violence, among many other aspects of it, instead of saying I am not tolerant of it. Since I refuse to act (such as downmodding you or anyone who disagrees with me) on my opinion I guess I am tolerant of it in spite of the sheer loathing I feel for it and its practitioners. Anyway, I hereby leave the discussion, any who want to take advantage of this go ahead and ridicule yourselves.

      "Am I tolerant of all other religions other than Islam? Yes." I think people might find this somewhat offensive. Islam is a diverse religion spread over all parts of the globe. Your comment seems to dismiss it entirely.
