Young Jimbo was pretty sleazy. True, especially back in the 1990s on Usenet. But when real crises hit at Bomis or early WP, Wales had a habit of being "scarce and unreachable". Bomis employees often complained about his inability to do actual business functions, or even to be in the office on a reg...

If you're talking about funny web videos, don't forget one of the earliest makers, Camp Chaos. Their heyday was 2000-2004. Owner Bob Cesca was a genius at political and social satire.

The last death threat I saw was an editor making one against the Indian courts who are suing Wikipedia.

Changing post names is a pain in here. So I just made it "Anatoly Shariy "global banned"". Plus, personally I don't agree with the label "journalist". Shariy is so biased, he doesn't earn that distinction. Previous threads relating: https://wikipediasucks.co/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2438 https://wi...
