Wikimedia's attorney is Mike Godwin? Does....ugh, I'm sorry.....does he follow Godwin's Law? Fephisto (talk) 15:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mike is the original author of Godwin's law. From what I've heard about it, it was an exercise in memetics; obviously, a very successful one since so many people online have heard of it. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from feedback form - "This is a lot of bs. Tell it ..."[edit]

This is a lot of bs. Tell it to the parents of the kids who hang themselves in closets every day. Wikipedia is for gutter rats. Judge Perri is one of the dumbest judges in New Jersey. —173.220.125.58 (talk) 19:38, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
