Charlottes Web vs Gorilla Warfare

Gorilla Warfare, Molly White, seems to be the great granddaughter of famous author E.B. White of Charlottes Web Fame.
Lets start with a quote from Charlottes Web
---Most People believe almost anything they see in print--
You just cannot make this connection up. Most people believe almost anything they read on Wikipedia.
Fate would have it that Molly White has been editing Wikipedia for 13 years (perhaps she started at 12 or 14 +/-) and now she has risen to the ranks as the longest-serving female Wikipedia Arbitrator.
And the good
In my opinion, and limited interactions, she is very thoughtful and bright individual.
More good - developing your hobby and transitioning it into a career

Why would someone so young waste her life online? She is not Hiro Protagonist, instead she is a youngling that has imbedded herself online. She Snow Crashed herself, she is literally caught in Charlottes web.
“This Snow Crash thing--is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?”
Juanita shrugs. “What's the difference?”
This Wikipedia thing is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?
Me, I spent my day outside with digits and bits being no more than an afterthought. When I was her age I had the pleasure to exchange a few words with Isaac Asimov who told me "don't become a robot" don't let technology change you into one. My advice to her is "Free yourself from the Borg!," don't let the machine absorb you and therefore waste best years 7 or 9 years of your life.

Applied and was selected as a participant in Google Summer of Code, a program that pairs student developers with free and open source software projects for a three-month period. Developed an original project idea and proposal to allow users of Wikisource (a project supported by the Wikimedia Foundation) and similar MediaWiki wikis to more easily collect and store book content and metadata. Planned and designed the extension using wireframes, mockups, and prototypes; meticulously scheduled and documented the project time frame, as well as recorded bugs, features, and bug/development priority; and worked closely with a mentor to plan, design, and implement the proposal.

To me an old guy;I build software and lead teams in Boston, Massachusetts. I am a software developer and tech lead at HubSpot, a marketing, sales, and service software company ...
I am passionate about supporting members of underrepresented groups ... who simply wish to exist online without facing harassment or other abuse.
In my free time, I can usually be found on the Internet, hanging out at home with my two cats, or both. I used to usually have a foster cat (or litter of kittens) staying with me, but since recently adopting a second one of my fosters, I am limited for space to take on more animals, even temporarily.
