This is the Wiki entry for Yahoo answers. Go down to "criticisms." I honestly could not believe my eyes. Do you have an opinion on this one, or are you just laughing uproariously? Should someone edit it to say something about the phrases "Vile Temptress" and "Incarnatrix of Evil"?

Eleventy, now that I know there's an edit war of sorts, I think it's pretty cool, too! :-)

Pirate, while I agree 100% with what you said, I would also add that it reads like a 4th grade conflict where the principal makes the kids each write down what happened!
eg: "and then Joey took my truck and burried it in the sandbox and I couldn't find it just because he didn't like my coat that mom got me and I don't like when Joey picks on me, Joey's mean."

Apparently, the link I gave was to an old page, which doesn't look much different from the new one. Here's the editable one, if anyone cares to bother with it. I don't have the enery, myself. ;-)

My favorite part is the part about how CBG blames Yahoo! for nobody answering his questions. Personally, I just think he's probably managed to block the entire R&S community, so nobody's allowed to answer it.

Neither AM nor VT but that is one of the most biased wikipedia pages ever.
If I look at the history it seems there is a little edit-war going on:

The criticisms section should be completely revised as it is a blatant one sided representation. Yes, the reporting system is not the best and it is constantly abused by various people and yes, we all do tend to chat a bit. However, the criticism section portrays this from a very one sided viewpoint and basically is a venting from that one user.

Chosen by Grace thinks I am 'In a Handbasket" too. I told her and she was amused.
In case it is not obvious, this page was created by Chosen by Grace. He was also suspended for a few days from wikipedia for this page. I am surprised it is still here, that was last week when I first saw it.

CBG has a history of vandalizing Wiki. No big deal. Someone will pull it down soon.

Someone with a specific agenda or grudge has commented on Wiki.

Obviously an example of somebody's egregious idea of "fun."
