So on an Asperger's ML I'm on, one of the members sends a massive e-mail to us telling us of the evils of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia project that invites the public to
write and edit its pages, has got to be exposed as a place of the
worst forms of bullying and hate, no ethics whatever even against
stalking, a savage macho jungle, and with openly tyrannical bullying
administration that is emotionally abusive and openly gloats online (I
give links) of having the choice to be as unfair as it likes and can't
be challenged. Penalties actually get worsened if you challenge their
correctness,and there is no mechanism for ensuring you can give a
defence. How many of you had taken part in Wikipedia beyond just
reading it, and already seen any of this before? It is a very
dangerous scam and everyone must keep away from it. Anyone who takes
part in Wikipedia knowing what is happening there, is tainted. And
this is actually based on the ruthless political fighting there has
been on its Asperger Syndrome article page.
It continues on from there, but you get the idea. (I'll post the rest if you really want, but it's massive tr;dr) In summary, he says he was banned because he disagreed with something in the Asperger's Syndrome entry and everyone jumped on him and he got a temp ban for spamming, so he wants Wikipedia to be shut down as a scam.
So I go check it out.
Apparently, his problem deals with child authors. More specifically, the effect of homework on children and their ability to write.
If this ends up with an edit war and the article getting put under a neutrality dispute, it will be recordedly Wikipedia's automatic legal duty towards preventing child cruelty instead of causing it, to side with me. The child author issue is a child cruelty issue, with a particular relevance to Aspies (i) because a lot of us write compulsively, so it's a clinical detail about suffering we can be caused (ii) because the scene's bigwigs use celeb promotion of 2 child authors in pursuit of aspie awareness,and this is child cruelty unless it is made known how other child authors' chances get ruined by adult crimes of power.
He also runs a page called Spectrum Fairness, which is, to quote them, "an outlet for exposint personally unjust experiences with other websites or groups, to do with what are presently called autistic spectrum conditions." This causes people not to sign their replies to him because he puts them up on there otherwise. Which leads to him refering to people by their ISP numbers.
Anyway, I think you all get the idea by now.
