It must have been an online "dating" thing that didn't work out once they got to know each other. It wasn't very gallant (wise) of him to post their "break-up" at wikipedia without warning her; but her selling his clothes on eBay seems so silly. EBay must love the free advertising (and commission they'll be getting). Observing his clothes for sale on eBay, I'm wondering who would pay over $2000 for his icky tee shirt? $900+ for his sweater? (albeit he is a good looking guy and sort of "famous" in the limited world of online geniuses). Wouldn't it have been nice to have the sale go to a charity? (like stopbullying.org) These two need to hold their noses and publicly patch things up as friends and move on! Mr. Wales might consider taking the high road... understandably not an easy bone to swallow, but he has the most to lose as he has been quite respected and admired.

Is anyone here from Vancouver? Have you been keeping up with her bizarre and totally irrational behaviour since her SFU days? She's one scary, scary woman. Ok, ok, I get the Wikipedia should not be censoring information, but we really do not want to give this crackpot anymore infamy than she already has. Truth is, Jimmy is lucky to be out of the relationship fairly unscathed. Rachel is known for her stalking of ex-paramours and manipulating events to suit her. She has tried to ruin the careers of several men that she's taken a shine to and who have subsequently rebuffed her. She makes Anne Coulter seem relatively sane and reasonable. Take a deep breath Jimmy, hopefully you're not finding dead chickens nailed to your front door. Rachel Marsden is a complete nutbar. Is anyone here from Vancouver?

The site is dominated by left-wing partisans, so every politically senstive topic gets a hard left-wing spin. Liberal politicians, pundits and organizations get airbrushing on their articles; conservatives get hatchet jobs. Meanwhile, conservative people and organizations become targets on Wikipedia.
