An opinion on Misplaced Pages, posted by one Lord Kenneth elsewhere, which pretty much sums up how I feel about this place after hanging out here a while, along with some other pertinent stuff.
"Misplaced Pages's community is a joke. It is full of drama and very lame politics, people voting upon whether someone is wrong or not. It has edit wars (the person who is right is treated the same as the person who is clearly wrong) and petty liars trying to ban people they don't like. The NPOV rule turns articles into "he-said, she-said" fights where "some scientists say the earth is an oblate spheriod, but other scientists claim discrepancies in these measurements and insist the earth is flat".
