Yeah, for some weird reason, a lot of wingnuts just hated Wikipedia from day one. Not sure how it was orchestrated so fast. Some of the ones pretending to be "independents" were claiming that Wikipedia just could not work, since "anyone can edit it".

But some of the biggest complainers were the kind of babies that think all of the culture has been orchestrated in opposition to their feelings that they hold as "facts". Meaning, if other people don't just accept their worldview as the default centered and correct one, they lose their shit.

We have probably all met people that think their take on "the" bible is not only correct, but self-evident and provable, etc...and naturally, any bullshit morality they want to spin out of that should be just accepted as a "fact", etc...they then proceed to just make up how policy should work in the United States, because first they use bad logic to center their superstitions, just lie outright about how the United States is supposedly a xtian country, etc...and so they spend endless rage spinning on even the dating conventions because their character of Jesus is not put at the center of everything. When they run across something like Wikipedia that isn't as cloistered, it drives them crazy. See also: things like PBS, NPR, universities in general, educated people, and so on...
