Chuck, stop dissing one of my favorite Internet

That's what I do best. I'm a librarian, media activist and anarchist. My
role is to ask questions and be a curmudgeon.
I've written criticism about Wikipedia on my blog, both positive and
negative. As a librarian, I think that it is an awesome project, which
really should be better appreciated by people who are stuck in past
paradigms about "information accuracy." As an anarchist, Wikipedia
troubles me. While the open source nature of the project is very
anarchistic, I'm really pissed that right wing assholes are allowed to
post falsehoods to the entry on "anarchism." This problem forced me to
discontinue my participation in the project.
