The problem is that you defamed a man. The defamation should never happened in the first place. If you can't stop that, then you don't have an encyclopedia. You have a toilet for people to shit in. JohnGotti


 * And 638,340 registered users cleaning it up. Dystopos 23:17, 5 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Having people cleaning up after the fact just doesn't do it.
 * If someone punch you in the face, does it hurt any less if 600,000 doctors work on you afterward?
 * Nope, your face still got punch!


 * I prefer to accept the strengths of Wikipedia along with its weaknesses. My library is full of references that studiously avoid defamation and can be considered authoritative. Unfortunately these books are rather narrow in scope, represent a narrow point-of-view, quicky become obsolete, and are not (yet) freely available online. Wikipedia has no peer for accessibility, comprehensiveness, currency and interaction. These are great strengths that do not necessarily shine when compared to paper encyclopedias or to toilets.
