Gosh, what pompous spew. Such lofty thinkers, these libs. You gotta love all those colons and semicolons. They give his email kind of an 18th century flavor. And the lecturette about seeing things in shades of gray is just precious. It's also certain proof that he's a lib. If he's typical of the folks on staff there, then it's no surprise that the Wikipedia would tilt left.

Compare the fraction of articles on 'soft' subjects to that of 'hard' (as in the hard sciences) subjects. The Wikipedia, the Wikis in general, are not immune to the Science Wars or their influences.

Read the genre epitomized by Paul R. Gross and Norman Levitt (an avowed liberal) in their Flight From Science and Reason. Or Alan Sokal's hoax Trangressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity (skewering the purveyors of 'pompous spew').

Yes, correct. And the Use of Conjunctions to begin Sentences; numerous Run-Ons and capitalizing of Adjectives and Common Nouns, all Icing on the Cake to help complete the Image. :)
