But, they will do nothing to work responsibly and ethically toward building a higher-quality, reliable compendium of human knowledge. Thus driving home the truth that Wikipedia is a massive online role-playing game, not an educational charity project. In a word, fraudulent.''

One noteworthy critic of the Wikimedia Foundation wanted to know which of the [http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interviews 65 people] interviewed were identified as "critics" of the Wikimedia Foundation.  So, when asked this question on the Discussion page, if someone could enlighten us as to which "critics" were interviewed...

Unable to suppress his weaselly, sycophantic, and undying support of the Foundation that sustains his livelihood, Beaudette has [http://strategy.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=100&type=block&user=Philippe+%28WMF%29&month=&year= blocked nearly 100 entities] from participating in the Foundation's strategic planning process, rather than letting them engage in dialog as mature adults.  The result?  Counter-point pages such as this one that you are reading now.
