Jed,
I suppose it would be fair to inform you that I have been aware for a few
weeks that user JxG, (Guy Chapman from the U.K.) blacklisted both of our
sites on Dec. 18. Yours, I think, was upgraded (by JzG's encouragement) to
an international Wikimedia "meta" blacklist. People in Italy are suffering
from the consequences of blacklisted access to lenr-canr.org.
I have been investigating this situation somewhat, but not entirely,
quietly and would like to continue in that mode until my investigation is
complete.
I think that is about all I want to say on this right now.
The ol' man in the Dime Box Saloon is worth listening to. He says here:
Speaking of "pigs", the Dime Box Saloon downright absurd and drunken ideas
society is thinking of starting a website to compete with Wiki but we
haven't come up with a name for it. Any chance you have an insider at Wiki
that could help us ?
I have found that Citizendium was born as an offshoot of Wikipedia for many
of the exact reasons that we are aware of, with regard to Wikipedia's faults.
