Re: Average Wikipediocrazy "discussion"
...as for "calm and rational discussion"........numerous people have tried that, over and over, since 2004. Such things don't work with a "cultic network" like Wikipedia.

Re: User:Tranarchist "civility concerns"
That-other-site darling User:Tranarchist, now User:Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist, has "civility concerns". Who could have possibly seen this coming?
