How is it that if a site like Wikipedia is taken offline for a day by it's owners people are robbed, but if ICE takes sites without any due process it is acceptable?
"What, do you honestly think I am going to check every market in the world to provide you some numbers? "
Yes.
You are trying to promote your point of view_agenda_cause.
It is not unreasonable to ask you to provide some evidence in the form of numbers to back up you claims. Claims that appear to be little more than hysterics by someone with a deep seated sense of entitlement and a willingness to infringe on the rights of others to make a buck.
"Are you daft?"
No he made a reasonable request, Why are you so unreasonable.
It is Wikipedia. They have worked hard to build the site to be what it is. If you don't like their rules build your own site. No one is making anyone participate.
As has been mentioned there are mechanisms in place for correcting articles. If you find something on there you absolutely cannot abide then create an account follow their rules and fix it. Don't cry and scream that they need to adjust their rules to you.
People seriously need to get over the entitlement mentality.
