The core community is passionate about quality and getting it right. If you want to read some good criticisms of Wikipedia, probably the best place to go is to the Wikipedia article called 'criticisms of Wikipedia'... It was either the dumbest thing or the smartest thing I ever did. The dumbest thing for the obvious reasons, but the smartest thing because I don't think it could have had nearly as much impact as it has. One of the key things that inspired people to put a lot into it (was the charity aspect).

There's plenty of rude stuff online. People say things online that they would be ashamed to say face to face. If people could treat others as though they were speaking face to face, that would be huge.

I think that reality exists and that it's knowable.

Free speech includes the right to not speak.

What you don't get in the mainstream media is so much of the background material.

My being some kind of celebrity - not a real celebrity, isn't a welcome part of the job.

I have zero interest in sports of any kind - professional, college or international.
