The wiki was an interesting experiment, but I guess human nature is always human nature. on "Wiki Facism" -I confess i am finding it more & more distasteful to read -this wiki. Certain individuals seem to regard any opinion -other than their own, as an enemy to be eradicated. This is -tiresome in real life where you can just walk away when -communication has become impossible; on a wiki, you see -the same ugly graffiti whenever you pass that way & soon -avoid it altogether. +This Wiki is for content which can be related to Lojban. This Wiki is not for metadiscussions about the nature of Wikis, or for trolling of any sort. -I loved this in the beginning. I still think there are -incredible artistic possibilities in collaborative art. -But there remains a need for basic mutual respect, & if -that is lacking, what use is all this marvellous technology -in the hands of barbarians? +I will not concede to people who want to call me a fascist, as I have been call things far worse than that in my time. + +-[Jay Kominek, Wikimaster|Jay Kominek]
