-:The real problem is of course "who gets to vote" - no matter what their contributions and no matter how correct or eloquent they are, [[trolls]] do not by definition give [[Wikimedia]] money to oppress them, so, they do not vote in this corporate system [[Bomis]] has set up to continue [[Wikimedia corruption]] of the [[GFDL corpus]], and to lie to [[GFDL corpus access provider]]s about what is a [[GFDL violation]].  Since the whole purpose of [[Wikimedia]] is lies, it does not seem that it would necessarily be morally wrong for liars and vote-riggers to run it. - [[obvious troll]]s --[[142.177.X.X]]
