Comments on: What is to be done? http://cpcolumn.wordpress.com Working for transparency and accountability on Conservapedia Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:10:52 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: lanfranc http://cpcolumn.wordpress.com/what-is-to-be-done/#comment-6618 lanfranc Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:13:01 +0000 http://cpcolumn.wordpress.com/what-is-to-be-done/#comment-6618 Actually, I don't think there'll be anything that definite. Andy will still keep control of the server, and there will still be a core of editors who add a bit of content from time to time. I think the most likely scenario is that it'll stumble along more or less as it is now - just another tiny and ridiculed website on the fringes of the Internet until Andy eventually loses interest in it. A bit sad, really. It could have been more. Actually, I don’t think there’ll be anything that definite.

The good old days. Now about the only liberal thing we can do is correct someone's grammer. Admittingly they ban us, but at least it doesn't get reverted. I predict that Conservapedia will gradually implode as they get more and more extreme, finally cumulating in a bloody coup. Do we have any volunteers for the coup? Ah yes. The good old days.

And even if they officially did, we are talking about teh fly here. I doubt he'd actually let little things like rules get in the way. Fat chance of those ideas getting in place.

So, unless they trashed their copyright policy, they couldn't use it.

Start over. Get a new server somewhere, put a complete copy of Wikipedia up on it (If that's legal), and start from there. And don't like Aschlafly or any of his little gnomes 'help' manage it.

They have their own idea of what "Liberal" is, which seems to be odds with my own British Liberal leanings. Christian seems to be very narrowly defined and the Anglican church (as a nest of homosexuals) would largely be excluded from their YEC Christian agenda.

I had to laugh, then cry, then fail some poor stupid kid. What is truly scary is that college students have been seen using CP as a source in papers.
