      Jimmy Wales is a shitbag, but that just means I don’t give Wikipedia any money.

      I am barely aware of TV Tropes.

            Ok, how about we try normal English and preferably some sources? I don’t know what that word means or why it should be significant to anyone.

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales

              Personal philosophy section.

              Wales has previously referred to himself as an Objectivist, referring to the philosophy of writer Ayn Rand

              Everyone here is welcome to disagree with my assertion that he’s a shitty human being, but that is my read of the situation.

                  I don’t boycott Wikipedia. I just don’t give them any money. I don’t give lots of websites any money. I will give them money when he’s no longer a part of the board.

                  Wikipedia is a great resource started by a terrible person. I recommend people use it.

        I was afraid of that, but given some of your previous posts, I’m not all that surprised.

        Since both those sites are just descriptions of things that exist, it sounds like you want an echo chamber where you don’t need to acknowledge that certain things exist. I think it’s better to try and figure out why you’re so offended by reality.
