Madam, facts are facts. They stand on their own. They are NOT determined by democratic vote. The speed of light is 299792.458 km/s regardless of anything Wikipedia may say. The value of e is 2.718281828..... Anything that appears that says differently is wrong.

Do you honestly believe that the world's experts in various subjects comb Wikipedia daily looking for errors inserted by idiots?

And this typically inane, typically nonresponsive reply from someone who seems to know not the distinction between opinions and facts.

Laz, I am completely uninterested in your opinions.

Lots of pot/kettle in this one

If someone's ideas are misrepresented continuously by a particular poster that in itself is a personal attack. I have no desire to spend every day defending to a hostile audience every word that I write. I don't do that to other people, and it makes for a very unpleasant environment. This is totally different from disagreeing about political positions or ideas on a particular subject. It really is character assassination when it goes that far.
