Don't think there's any proof of Wikileaks being a front for anyone. If anything, they've come under intense attack, including what increasingly appears to be a made-up story published by the Guardian. https://obse

I am the submitter of the article, and I was banned from Wikipedia, but I'm not unhappy about it. I was never active on the site. I joined to present information about the Philip Cross case, and was banned shortly after creating my acc

I posted the link to the article, having seen it on Twitter. I don't know anything about the author or Gary Null, and I agree that that should have been disclosed. I did help write some of the Philip Cross pieces which were discussed o

It's nice to move away from commercial journalism, I agree. But the Guardian is very much commercial journalism. See http://expressiveegg.org/2017/02/07/guardian-bothering/ and https://

It appears this was related to CSS variable support. Typora's themes use CSS3 variables which aren't supported in IE and weren't supported in Edge until more recently. I tried on Edge 42 (EdgeHTML 17) when I said the backgrou

I don't think your earlier comments contained much substance, but were more an attempt to deflect and defend a Wikipedia admin with whom you are perhaps acquainted. But I will link to those earlier comments below for the interested rea
