I've come to the conclusion that yes, it is.
If you would've asked me that question a year ago, I would have been an ardent supporter of the site. But the more I read about it from non-Wiki sources (and the more I used the site itself, actually) I gradually became disillusioned. In particular after the i-Mock article was being considered for deletion, for no apparent reason other than some kind of grudge against website articles, while nobody complains about Wikipedia's
"Lamest edit wars" article (isn't this supposed to be a serious site?) or the disturbing but not wholly unforeseen fact that
Wikipedia proudly catalogues which of its members are afflicted with Asperger's syndrome.
As an aside, I would bet my soul that 90% of the people on that list aren't
actually afflicted with Asperger's, but have self-diagnosed themselves to either get themselves e-pity or as an explanation for why they can't get a date. Just because you're too awkward to get some poon doesn't mean you're fucking disabled. Something about this just strikes a nerve with me, probably in part because my little cousin actually
does have Asperger's.
Speaking of self-diagnosis, it seems one of Wikipedia's users and leading henchpeople accidentally
self-diagnosed himself with a Ph.D. in Theology.
