I read your blog... :'(

edit

I'm not sure if posting here is appropriate since you are retired and you deleted all your past talk page content, but I just wanted to say that I feel sorry for how frustrating it must have been for you and your eventually futile efforts. I read your blog after seeing a comment on a Forbes article linking to it. You can delete this message if you want to, of course (if you still check this page). 24.5.62.30 (talk) 05:14, 29 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I should add that your anecdote was very informative, and I am thankful to have read it. I had no idea that "edit-warring" was this real on Wikipedia. 24.5.62.30 (talk) 06:04, 29 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

One more thing: Thank you for providing personal experience with bias in Wikipedia. I always assumed it was kept under reasonable control, but now I see that this is not always the case, after reading those actual talk threads.24.5.62.30 (talk) 06:33, 29 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I just read your blog after being directed to it, and second the above; I feel entirely the same way. 177.47.27.225 (talk) 09:03, 19 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
