The purpose of this site includes the promotion of any and all alternatives to Wikipedia, I would have thought. If you don't like like it, then please just say so. Hiding your dislike of the project (or Paul?) behind a manufactured objection about excessive threads is what the good people of Wikipe...

GorillaWarfare has turned up to the thread on the Signpost misogyny imbroglio, thanked everyone at WO for their support (?!?) and decided that it's really a discussion of the dress code at her place of work. Some obvious questions spring to mind...

Let's assume that Jimbo is behaving rationally in accordance with some kind of plan to achieve some kind of objective. As figurehead of Wikipedia he gets lucrative speaking appointments, luxury foreign travel, honours and awards, basically for doing nothing; and people offer him large sums of money ...
