Not how blame works. Google "blame is not a zero sum game". The influences (in part or wholly) responsible for any event are infinite, and so are the factors leading to those influences (i.e. it's not Goldman Sach's fault their parents didn't raise 'em right ;)

And if you really think people with no financial know-how who were misled by predatory lenders (with the responsibility of providing those people sound advice) are as responsible as those who carefully architected massive fraud, you must be a troll (intentionally or not).

Hysteria based recalls are usually limited to Intel chips with bugs that couldn't possibly affect anyone, ever. You honestly think a drug would be recalled without actual empirical evidence?

FTFY. An app cannot be a violation, the violation was the act of noncompliance! /pedantry

Bullshit! Domestic spying worse than data mining central internet hubs, before there was an internet?

Who is the troll now? Jesus man, at the very least address some of his claims amidst your ad homina and straw man "you are just a hopeless pessimist" bullshit.

You are such a fucking troll. Go back to your cave and stop destroying conversation.

You keep implying that every single teen in Philly is a violent gang member who has personally taken part in these mobs.

We actually ALREADY DO take away their freedoms when they violate societal standards. When teends DO IN FACT go mobbing and attacking people, we DO IN FACT take away their right to be out, at night OR day.

I disagree strongly. How did they get the staff that is so terrible? I think the guidelines put staff in a ridiculous position.

We are running on the same system we had in 2001. It is fucking terrible.
The staff is not the problem. There are staff with similar responsibility all throughout the world of web communities, and they have demonstrate only hints of the level of idiocy and trolling that Wikipedia staff show.
The problem is everything fundamental about the project. Working with articles as the unit of data: FUCKING STUPID. This is handled by copying and pasting content across articles that need the same information, rather than having subarticles that can be included. Having single, 'authoritative' versions of articles: COMPLETE FUCKERY. This leads to a vast majority of strife, edit warring, and trouble because NPOV articles are a completely failed concept.
Stop generally being a fascist monster creating insane policies that destroy efforts at community, and maybe your website will flourish again instead of being a case study in the wrong way to do things.
P.S. did anyone else imagine in 2001 that we would still be using a fundamentally unchanged MediaWiki software for Wikipedia? "Wiki formatting" and shit? Fuck.

FMV != V. In fact, that is why there are two more letters in front of that first part!

The old "blame the apathetic for having zero control over the situation" ploy. Maybe if all the apethetic non-voters in this country just got together and cared a little more, right? Maybe then... what? What would change? Not a fucking thing. They'd still all fall for the old "don't throw your vote away" line, the same false dichotomy tactics, and we'd wind up with the same fucking policies. Quit acting like your vote isn't being fed into the same joke of a system as everyone else's.

Raising taxes reduces government revenue? Woah.

Bullshit and buggery. If the government doesn't profit whatsoever, how does it grow to meet future demands of a larger populace? You are saying the government must operate on debt, just for the fuck of it.

I hear Price Pfister is releasing a breakthrough new design in Commodes, called the Qmode!

Hey now, not all of us experienced life pre-internet.

Inclusion of functionality from untrusted control sphere != missing authentication for critical function != input validation error?

Same fucking difference.

My favorite is attempting to prevent access by not printing the link / form control, and then doing no validation.
