No I didn t I did not But I admit that I wasn t being very nice and I apologize for that However I do think it s stupid to threaten people on the Ref Desk talk page with blocks without even explaining your position no less I don t mean to offend but it s well not smart I don t know how else to put that And I do think there s an element of hypocrisy at work here though I realize that it s not an intentional one I discuss the latter in more detail on the Ref Desk talk page so I won t repeat myself but I will point out here that if you assume bad faith from the original poster without any evidence and you did as citing WP DENY indicates and then accuse us of doing that that to you that is kind of hypocritical For what it s worth I m guilty of both stupidity and hypocrisy myself more often than I care to admit and yet I don t consider myself stupid or a hypocrite I try hard not to be either The point is I don t like the way you re dealing with this and it s making me angry I think you re pretty quick on the trigger and your frustration is probably making you blunter than you would be if you didn t feel like we were ganging up on you even though we re not and that I can sympathize with But it doesn t help that we feel like you re ignoring the context and arguments to the contrary here and your willingness to throw your weight around the block threat stop now all that doesn t exactly help things any To go beyond this a little another reason I don t like the way you re dealing with this is that what you re doing goes contrary to the whole purpose of Wikipedia and as its subset the Ref Desk And this part I should stress doesn t really have much to do with my reaction to this whole thing I m explaining this in the interests of clarifying my position to you We are here to dispense information We are not here to judge which information is suitable for people and what isn t That way lies censorship and elitism the idea that some people can handle facts and some people can t Now obviously there are some limits imposed by common sense We don t include detailed information on how to build bombs for example nor do we tell people covered in blood how to leave the country without detection for example There s no need to be stupid about it But we do explain principles of the former and under less alarming circumstances the latter if asked Why Because honestly these are not secrets Generally it s not the understanding of the principles involved that keeps people from doing this stuff but the knowledge that it s wrong or at least the knowledge that you can get in trouble for it You can find most of this stuff from any decent library or from Wikipedia itself It s true that most information can be used for malicious purposes but it s important to realize that that s got very little to do with the nature of Wikipedia or libraries encyclopedias and reference desks in general and everything to do with the nature of information I mean we can make Wikipedia something other than that but at that point we re building a Disneyland not an actual snapshot of human knowledge or anything else in that vein
