Define “ACTUAL HARM”. I personally define it as physical harm, mental anguish is BS. - I don’t think you really mean this, it defies logic. The sense of fear doesn’t have any physical touch and yet can make person crap into his own pants.

I agree as a Wiki ED seems to work. It just works towards something you dislike - again true.

It’s just I have my own own principles which suggest me not to list it. Why would I list it if I don’t support it.

Encyclopedia Dramatica is funny, you just don’t get the joke.

Define “ACTUAL HARM”. I personally define it as physical harm, mental anguish is BS. The site is obviously entirely made up facts and if that gets to you and causes “actual harm” then I feel sorry for you.

Internet stalking isn’t real stalking.

ED deserves to be on the list, it does work. It just works towards something you dislike. Get over it and don’t go there if it doesn’t interest you.

Offensive humor is still humor. The problem with Encyclopedia Dramatica is that it ISN’T funny, just offensive. The people there don’t just say mean things, they intend to cause ACTUAL HARM to anybody they disagree with. A joke about stalking might be funny, but actual stalking isn’t.

@Paul

The lulz have returned and they are significantly stronger then before.
I suggest that the good Aibek uncrosses the ED part and links to it once moar.
There is things on ED that you will not be able to find anywhere else.

Say what you will about ED’s immature ’sewer’ humour. It takes a certain intelligence to deliberately pull off that kind humour and you know it. Go on Aibek, do it for the lulz!

You kind of missed an important one. Without this wiki:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors
there would be no others.

@Joseph
I was party to being attacked on ED myself, all because one of their members got banned from another wiki. Its a site filled with trolls, and net stalkers, who are in the throws of puberty and haven’t realised how to be responsible.

Of course, if the community really wanted to be anything else, they’d remove this content. However they don’t. They promote it.

Isn’t the point of offensive humour that its supposed to make everyone laugh at its absurdity and its ridiculousness, not just those who write it?

Luckily the site is dead now.

@ED, @Anonymous(both of you)

I see your point guyz, and I agree that ‘offensive humor’ is the whole point behind ED. I have nothing against seeing how a group of people come together and call W.Bush all nice things my grandma had never heard off. It’s funny, it’s mean, … and in many cases never taken seriously. Just pure fun.

What makes it problematic, when it goes beyond being fun to derogatory.
Steve provided couple of links showing that. But the main point, being a wikipedia fan, I am 100% sure these guyz would never try blocking it unless there is a STRONG problem behind it.

Anyways, I have no intention in undermining one big wiki(ED) to make another one look better(Unencyclopedia in this case). They all have fans, supporters and obsessive contributors. For now, I’ll keep ED out, and if majority of readers decide that I am wrong, I’ll put it back. I’ll be checking up on comments.

@Steve

Encyclopedia Dramatica is ****ing hilarious, just because I don’t find Larry the Cable guy funny like you do Steve doesn’t mean he is offensive.

Why you removed the link to ED ?
What, is it offensive ?
That is the purpose of the wiki! To have offensive humor.
It’s a good wiki if you are searching for internet memes (wikipedia doesn’t have any information at all about this) or recent things that happened on the internet.

Steve is a fool, obviously he is one of the people ED makes fun of and he is insulted, well because 1 is insulted doesn’t make the wiki bad.
I find it entertaining and i find entertaining that Steve is insulted.
