Our long-suffering hero at Wikipeida, Pierre Carbonnelle
([email protected]) was finally thrown out. See
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Cold_fusion/Proposed_decision>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Cold_fusion/Proposed_decision
I sent him the following message:
". . . I would not think of contributing to or supporting an
organization that will not tolerate the likes of Pierre Carbonnelle.
You are one of the fairest, most objective and reasonable people I
know, and you have been far more patient and forgiving with these
people than they deserved. The fact that they threw you out is proof
that Wikipedia is fundamentally an intolerant, Authoritarian
organization. . . ."
("Authoritarian" as defined by Altemeyer:
http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~altemey/ I have refrained from calling
it "fascist" because that word is over-used and exaggerated. There
must be some stronger word than "authoritarian.")
And at Wikipedia I conducted a brief guerrilla war, concluding:
". . . you people threw out Pierre Carbonnelle who is far more civil
than I (and cool, calm, debonair -- European, in short, all that I am
not). I have no doubt you will soon throw me out. You people are incorrigible."
