Go ahead, explain what the hell he's trying to say. And add up all the falsehoods and distortions he wrote.

Personally I smell a nerd angling for a job with the WMF.

Reality resembles a noir fiction when so many people like him keep simping Wikipedia and are intentionally oblivious to structural issues within Wikipedia. The climax and the endgame looks close yet still far away.

But here's a good news. A Israeli-Australian female journalist is looking to write some pieces about Wikipedia and she had been directed to you in order for her to obtain the private database of scandals.

Jokes aside, political fringes such as the far right are so over-represented in terms of vocal criticism against Wikipedia, making many people equating Wikipedia-skeptics as political loonies, even after the exposure of Holocaust distortion scandal. It's hard not to see parallels with noir fictions and this one. If we want to be taken seriously we have to start prioritizing in putting past Wikipedia cases that involves sexual harassment and antisemitism in the spotlight.
