Everyone on the internet is an insufferable, biased, and often incorrect pedant according to at least one other person. Do you think you're the exception?
- cookiecaper 13y agoI don't agree that everyone thinks that about everyone else. I agree that certainly there are people that will disagree with one another, but that doesn't mean accusations of insufferability, pedantry, or bias even make sense in context, let alone accurately describe the circumstance. I chose my words intentionally with regard to the experience of editing Wikipedia. I contribute to many online fora, and am unpopular on many of those, but WP is a unique experience.
- jarek 13y agoJust an observation: in my experience, everyone with an axe to grind against Wikipedia says basically "I thought the article was incorrect (wrong, biased, not neutral) and they wouldn't let me fix it." You can imagine how the problem looks from Wikipedia's point of view.
