User:Tbtkorg

I have edited Wikipedia since 2007, though never frequently. Please feel free to post comments to my attention on my talk page but, regrettably though realistically, do not expect a speedy reply. Thanks.

In December 2019 I posted the following in Talk of Wikipedia:Neutral point of view to explain why I will not give Wikipedia money. That Talk will eventually be cleaned up, of course, and my comment will thus disappear (as it should), but since I will still not give money a copy of my explanation remains here.

I am so obscure a person that one doubts that anyone but me cares about my explanation, but Wikpedia keeps reminding me that frequent readers like me should give money. A response seems due, as follows.

NPOV is a farce

Wikipedia is ruled by progressive Leftist editors who "genuinely think their own opinions are so virtuous that they are entitled to silence others." The quoted words are Peter Hitchens' and they precisely apply here. Hitchens and I are unlikely to change many minds in this space, of course, for Wikipedians who disagree with us tend already to have concluded that Hitchens and I—and the shadowy, inexplicably growing mass of persons who think as we do—were too unpleasant and too tiresome to listen to. I do not write to change minds. I write because Wikipedia keeps asking me to give money. I will not give money, no matter how many times Wikipedia asks. Why would I? Wikipedia's NPOV policy is well framed and well meant but the policy's practical application is a farce. Tbtkorg (talk) 20:36, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Remarks

Hilariously, some loser who apparently has nothing better to do deleted the above Talk less than an hour after I posted it. Thus, now, Wikipedia gets no donation and has no idea why. Oh, well.
