Turning point (danish)
I’m blogging this from a danish mailing list for historical purposes because it’s a turning point at the same level as the guy who wrote an opinion after reboot4 in 2001 in a danish newspaper attacking weblogs because they would generate “over-communication” and wondering why people should publish and communicate. If people can get that angry and put so much effort into attacking something – there’s something really substantial to it…
As Gandhi said: First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. The you win.
The post below is closer to fight than to laugh, we’re getting there…

At sammenligne Den Store Danske Encyklopædi (eller andre seriøse leksika skrevet af et videnskabeligt personale) med tilfældige internetsurfendes skriblerier er i bedste fald en absurd vits… snarere en hån mod lødigt arbejde.

Tja, og så kan vi så forsøge at skille den ene idiots bavl fra den andens… Hver uge sin sandhed. Og hvorfor skulle hr. Jensen ikke også kunne skrive en encyklopædiartikel om Mona Lisa eller relativitetsteorien?

Hurra for netdemokratiet og alles ret til at have en mening, ikke sandt?

Og at der er skrevet MEGET gør det da ikke nødvendigvis bedre.
