Quotes:
"The practical result of what has been done to the cold fusion
article is the public will get misleading information on the current
status of cold fusion. Since cold fusion is something that can be a
major benefit to the human race, this is a serious error. . . .
I have a problem with some of Wikipedia's rules and how they are
applied. The rules do not show a grasp of the scientific method.
Wikipedia has a nest of self appointed scientific censors that do not
have a grasp of the scientific method. . . . I was told by one of
your admins that if Wikipedia had existed in the Middle Ages, it
would say the world was flat. If this is true, you should put this
statement on your home page as a warning label. . . ."
That last sentence is right on the mark. Apparently, Wikipedia is
deliberately being run according to a pre-Renaissance set of rules.
