Anybody check out Wiki on the Repuke Party??? |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Republican_PartyLook like someone had some fun. On a serious note though, it's ashame that Wiki has to deal with things like this. I understand the rage and frustration though...

they mean by annoying & anon posters. Lot's of people love words and history and may have a hobby writing stuff for Wiki. But it costs a corporation money to get rid of people who repeatedly "ring and run". Have you ever noticed that you cannot get corporate emails when you go to their websites? I tried when Pepsi canned Kane West. No way to contact them. For sure it costs money if you have to hire employees to rifle through junk mail and the like - to find legit & productive internet messages.
I really think that the law about annoying is really about saving money for corporations. Would be a very typical thing for any government to do if it is costing millions for any small business or large to be targeted by computer generated mailings or trolls.
I also don't think that if there is a campaign to email a UN office (say China) that sending one email on each issue would be included as annoyance. If people are told to call or right - than that is not one person repeatedly being annoying. If that would be included - I would be very upset.
But I really do not think that forums would qualify in any way as 'annoying' to any party. Since you have to agree to certain rules to log on.. anyway.
So I for one will hold my breath and think that that is what the law is about.
Really - I use Wikipedia. And if you cannot trust the information there - then it hurts all of us.
Again - with a quick run through I didn't see where the troll got at the Repuke page. Perhaps it is already fixed?

Someone replaced the logo with the swastika and party leader with Aldof Hitler. This is counterproductive towards our efforts and the efforts of Wiki as a whole.

4. Now you. Stop that. You may find yourself included under the heading |

"annoyance".
Really. We need Wiki. We do. I think that you may want to rethink that habit and read my post above. If you repeatedly "ring & run" you are costing some corporation or open source movement money - and now they seem to have a law.
Try and stay on the "building up" side of the world. It is worth it. Every moment. No matter what. We can beat the GOP by punching through to the truth. Never give up. They want to teach adolescent behaviour to the whole population to reflect their own lack of humanity. (That is what Ann Coulter is for). Don't fall for. Please. Don't fall for it.
