This article's talk page/lack of an infobox encapsulates everything I hate about Wikipedia

So, silly me noticed there was no infobox on this page. I added one, being the astute Wikipedian that I am, not knowing the history that preiously unfolded without my knowledge. When it got deleted, I just assumed it was typical WP bullshit. When someone said that there was already a discussion on the talk page, being the astute Wikipedian I am, I was curious as to what kind of discussion could've possibly caused a lack of a template.

Holy balls.

Nothing could've prepared me for the labyrinth-like trip down the rabbit hole that I was about to witness.

I read through all of it. ALL OF IT. And my God... I have never seen reasoning so crooked, ideas about how best to display information so half-baked, article editors (the people who don't want an infobox) so snobbish and elitist, attacks so personal, and ultimately, the bullies get their way. I am now doubting, BASED ON READING THE TALK PAGE ARCHIVES OF THIS ARTICLE ALONE, whether or not I should continue to be an editor for a site that allows this bullshit to continue, and not only that, but let the bullies win, and continue to impede the gathering and easy access of knowledge for some limp-dick "oooooh, NOTHING can sum Pound up" reason.

Sorry if I sound angry (actually, no, I'm not), but Christ almighty this stuff really pisses me off. This is by far the worst example I've ever seen, and the people who decided against an infobox should be ashamed of themselves.

Simply put, this article's talk page should be classified a crime against humanity. If you don't believe an infobox should be put on this page for whatever jerkoff reason, please do us all a favor and slam your head against a wall until you can't think in your native tongue anymore.

That is all. I hate all of you. Fuckity bye.Fireflyfanboy (talk) 05:34, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
