So it seems "Andrea James", not content with editing the Wikipedia entries for her friends and business partners, found herself a real-life Comic Book Guy to battle a "small but vocal group of editors insisting on a criticism section for Xeni Jardin". "Motor" was more than happy to oblige, insisting that no consensus is valid unless "he's" signed on.

Oh, the irony of being called a "malcontent with a grudge" by a self-described Star Trek nerd... Surely only hilarity can ensue...

Will the three-revert rule be enacted? Will 'consensus' ever be reached? More importantly, will "Motor" actually figure out that the implied tail he's pursuing is, in fact, a ladyboy, and, ultimately, does that even matter to a desparate Babylon 5 fan? Stay tuned for scenes from the next episode...

It tastes like ADVERTISING! From BoingBoing's parent company, FederatedMedia's, "About Our Authors" page, "Authors who join the FM network of sites hold these values in common":

• Voice and Point of View: Strong voices and intelligent points of view drive robust conversations.

Heh, "conversations"? You mean one-sided, commentless "conversations"? About strong points of view that indicate that a comedian's speech not being covered by the mainstream media is, in fact, all part of a vast conspiracy? That's certainly a strong, intelligent point of view.

• Accuracy: Some FM sites are journalistic in nature; others are not. Regardless, FM sites strive for accuracy regarding items we post as facts.

So which is BoingBoing? And wouldn't a cursory examination of the history of the Star-Spangled Banner result in better accuracy than is exhibited here?

• Community: Weblogs are conversations, not lectures. The community that gathers around each site is the essence of its value, and we treat that community accordingly. We listen and respond to feedback, and incorporate it into the way we manage our sites.

BoingBoing. Reader comments. Nuff said.

• Responsibility: We take our role in the community we serve seriously, and feel responsible for our own words. When we make mistakes, we correct them. We do not seek to use our sites maliciously.

Except when Xeni's pissed, then she grabs a copyrighted photo from my band's site, as indicated in the html/htdb code, itself, and posts it, unattributed and without permission, as an update to her entry about xenisucks.com, along with the assertions that I live in Seattle, which a quick WHOIS would have provided more accurate information, as well as an incorrect spelling of my middle name, and my alleged employer's name?

Or except when Xeni's pissed about her goatse dildo cozy posts resulting in web filtering software marking BoingBoing as NSFW, at which point she feels the need to tell the whole world that a dude that works for the company that makes the web filtering software is a freaky-pervy "adult baby"?

• Transparency: We err on the side of disclosure to our readers. If we have an interest in something we're writing about, we disclose that interest. We are as transparent as we can be about our site's statistics, practices and policies.

I'm not even touching that one. BoingBoing needs a "Who's Friends With Who" chart to keep track of all the proverbial back-scratching self-promotion and nepotism going on.

Mmmm, delicious, delicious hypocrisy.

Man in an elaborate woman costume, Jokestress has decided all that discussion prior to her reading this site was wrong, and has decided to go ahead and edit the Xeni Jardin page herself.

I looked at the xenisucks.com site and was pretty underwhelmed by the quality of the content. Further, the site really doesn't seem to be that notable. Alexa has it at 270,000th or something like that. The "criticism" is basically one tepid potshot for each BoingBoing post made by this article's subject. If you are going to rant on someone for their "lameness," your rants better not be lame in comparison.

Or what? You'll edit the Wikipedia page? OH NOES!!!1111 LOL DONGS.

Three words, "Jokestress": NEW YORK TIMES.

Kathryn Cramer is taking questions and dismissing any and all criticism as "trollery". Enjoy. Oh, and she thinks you're all sexists, too. Especially you female commentors.

And I have to say, ignoring Cory's "Hey, Cory wrote some short stories, and some of you Cory fans voted them into some Cory-oriented short story contests, come check out Cory's short stories while I rub one out to Disney filks" posts, BoingBoing is better. Weird, eh? I'm sure it won't last, though. Nothing good ever does.

In the meantime, Slippy Jenkins (no relation to Leeroy that I know of) has let us know that you can pass the time killing unicorns with hand grenades, if you so desire. Killing unicorns with explosives: pretty zen.
