You know, I think Wikipedia is a really great concept. Anyone can contribute information to articles, while a relatively small number of administrators see to it that the information remains objective and verifiable. Despite criticism that "anyone can write anything", in reality the vast majority of Wikipedia articles are well sourced and very reliable.
However, as usual, problems arise when it comes to controversial information. Many people cannot deal with this and without even thinking they just discard it. That's too bad, but not much can be done about it. What is worrying, however, is that some Wikipedia editors posses similar character traits. And occasionally, like in this case, they seem to go berserk.

So, The Man took out Joel's sourced work on wikipedia.

Wankers.

To engage is to dignify.

To expose is to destroy.

This act of vandalism, of cyber book burning, strongly suggests that They're worried about Joel's meticulous investigative work.
