I’m looking forward to his retribution blog. I haven’t had a good chuckle in a while. He’s a poor substitute for Moldy Vulgar, but still.
I’m thinking it’s gonna be right up there with Suvroc10 (Marc Schenker) or Dr. Arbitrage.
“Someone please tell me why we aren’t supposed to go to Wikipedia for information. They aren’t writing ARTICLES. They are providing information about a person/place or thing, are they not?”
They are writing articles, and they leave out information they don’t like and they include information that is not based in fact. They rarely cite references that are fact based.
it is sad that we have dumbed down this nation so far that no one knows how to ascertain a fact from an Internet rumor anymore.
Marc Schenker I expect to read about in 48 point type, Page A1, above the fold in the New York Times soon. Something like “SERIAL KILLER OF 37 IDENTIFIED AS MAC SHENCHER.” (Name mispelled of course) Subhead “UNEMPLOYED BLOGGER FROM DEFUNCT EXAMIBLOGGER SITE.”
“Never use Wikipedia, company policy is to fire anyone that dares use it with my company business,”
Would you believe the Boeing/Jeppesen charting and navigation system for the Boeing aircraft programs was based on Wikipedia math examples?? It took years to tear out the bugs in that damned thing and there are still probably math bugs in it. It’s what you get when you hire computer programmers with “technology” or “IT” degrees and not engineers who have been educated in math and science.
I second that. I might add that code is hit or miss when you hire contractors from Bangalore or Delhi too. Program Management says "we're saving so much money this way," and in the next breath says "project schedule is slipping, mandatory overtime is necessary."
BTDT. “saving money” = never getting what they need at many times the time cost.
Many, many ‘moderators’ are millienials and so are not capable of intellectual engagement; thus preferring to just ban outright inconvenient people.
Now he can start a list of places he’s been kicked out of.
Sounds to me as if you’re describing snopes.....You didn’t acknowledge that we go to Wikipedia for information about places, people or things - not for news! I gave you an example of that in my reply - how can you argue with that? They’re not going to tell us the truth about where a certain place is, or where a particular person was born or the origin of a particular idiom? I don’t know a person who goes there to get their news. We google for that or as I do “bing”.....
“You didn’t acknowledge that we go to Wikipedia for information about places, people or things - not for news!”
I did, but your reading comprehension is a fairly low level.
No one mentioned news. I certainly didn’t.
“”I did, but your reading comprehension is a fairly low level. No one mentioned news. I certainly didn’t.””
Typical trick of any FReeper who can’t back up their words - resort to insults. Information we get on PEOPLE, PLACES or THINGS are inaccurate on Wikipedia? An inaccurate ARTICLE would be, for example???????? As I said - we don’t go to Wikipedia for ARTICLES - since you don’t like the word NEWS!!
I can’t believe I actually found someone dumb enough to think, “They can’t lie if it is on the Internet”.
I repeat!!!!!
“”Typical trick of any FReeper who can’t back up their words - resort to insults””
Well?!? They can't, can they?
.....wait. Well?
What?
(.....never mind.)
I didn’t resort to insults, you deserve them.
“Typical trick of any FReeper...”
You’re a typical liberal that claims victim and insults FReepers when she’s told what an idiot she is.
Wiki = Left.
Left = Liar.
Gooch could probably fill a large list of his sock puppet user names from what I read at Wiki.
