Yes, it really is a hatchet piece, even by Wikipedia standards. CsikosLo (talk) 17:44, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

They think they're doing god's work so they really can't help themselves. Alas, what this does to trust and integrity is another matter. We're entering a dangerous period in human history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:5D80:F29:7423:898A:4452:D835 (talk) 17:50, 18 March 2020 (UTC) ___________________________________________________________________________________________

I am so much more attractive than Spakovsky and I blog, also.

Why can't I get a high-falutin job? Why am I a working-poor dreg?

Does one have to be an entertainment star, a lawyer or a surgeon to make a living nowadays?

OH, that's right.... folks in my class compete directly with mega-millions of ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Obbop (talk • contribs) 18:52, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Why is there a link to the *German Nobility* page at the bottom of the topic page? Is Mr. von Spakovsky in some way descended from or related to a German noble family? If so, then some small mention ought to be made on the page, IMO. 204.86.42.50 (talk) 21:37, 7 October 2011 (UTC) ______________________________________________________________________________________________
