... Wikipedia continues a cesspit, and I continue glad I stopped contributing to it very nearly two years ago. Because good gods I do not want to be part of a community that doesn't consider me worthy of respect.

Sorry to hear this; they do seem to be getting Chelsea Manning's name correct, unlike much of the rest of the internet. I've just sent the BBC a complaint about their coverage :-/

Now go look at the talk pages, where users are calling for the admins responsible for Chelsea's name being corrected to have their privileges removed.

Urgh, yep. I try to avoid that site at all costs. It is a shame, it started out as such a fabulous idea for a website and then dissolved into a horror show that lacks respect and is full of people altering pages because they think it is funny.

I was just going to point to her article here, in case Alex hasn't seen it:

I'm well aware. Doesn't mean that the general community response is appropriate or makes me feel safe. (See also Morwen's tweets about there having been multiple attempts to reset her FB password overnight I WONDER WHY.)
