I'm older than he is. Roth is not the the first celebrity to think he
could dictate Wikipedia content. Michael Moore also felt he could throw
his weight around. And, no, I don't respect that move. Instead of
spending decades on line they wrote books and produced documentaries;
they are Noobies here regardless of their accomplishments elsewhere;
crying babies squalling and throwing their rattles.
