"Seriously, anyone who puts protecting new editors and retaining terrible content above upholding ethical and legal commitments to integrity, accuracy, and protection of a person's reputation is quite simply a massive idiot." – Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales
"Greatest misconception about Wikipedia: We aren't democratic. Our readers edit the entries, but we’re actually quite snobby. The core community appreciates when someone is knowledgeable, and thinks some people are idiots and shouldn’t be writing." – Jimmy Wales; The New York Times, November 18, 2007
"In the real world people who kick over the office furniture and delete all their coworkers' data get fired. In Wikipedia we shower them with the attention they crave, sending an implicit 'up yours' to all the constructive users whose time they have wasted." – Wikipedia editor on the creation of the Troll Support Network. Copied from Dan Murphy's talk page
