I think that's something of a miss-statement of his position. In fact he explicitly states that he thinks the problem is due to the attitude of adolescent-minded-young-men. His proposed solution of the 21 century equiv of letter writing again suggests that he doesn't view a bunker mentality as the problem. -- geni ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

I don't doubt that he is entirely sincere in holding that opinion, but there is a difference between holding a opinion and expressing that opinion. I think he's expressing the opinion because he is bitter and it's a convenient criticism for him to make. I don't think he holds the opinion strongly enough that he would be blogging about it if he weren't looking for something about Wikipedia to criticise. I'm really not interested in discussing Larry Sanger, though, so this will be my last email on the subject. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

Whatever one thinks of Larry Sanger's campaign regarding sexual material on Wikipedia or Commons, and I'm not endorsing everything he says, it should be clear from examination that he holds his views sincerely. Personally attacking him along the lines of being malicious and insincere, which is quite false, only adds weight to his critique about (my phrasing) the bunker-mentality culture. -- Seth Finkelstein Consulting Programmer http://sethf.com Infothought blog - http://sethf.com/infothought/blog/ Interview: http://sethf.com/essays/major/greplaw-interview.php ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

[Wikimedia-l] Larry Sanger rides again
Fortunately, average Slashdotter is not a moron [1], like he is. Does anyone know does he have some new project which needs promotion in media? And may WMF give some money to him, not to mess around?
