Interview with news24.com http://www.news24.com/News24/Technology/News/0,,2-13-1443_2102112,00.html (April 2007)
"How a ragtag band created Wikipedia" http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/37 - TED Talk (July 2005); this has sometimes appeared paraphrased as "The real struggle is not between the right and the left but between the party of the thoughtful and the party of the jerks."
Kontext: Most people understand the need for neutrality. The real struggle is not between the right and the left — that's where most people assume — but it's between the party of the thoughtful and the party of the jerks. And no side of the political spectrum has a monopoly on either of those qualities.
„When someone just writes 'f**k, f**k, f**k', we just fix it, laugh and move on.“
As quoted in "Who knows?", The Guardian (26 October 2004)
Kontext: When someone just writes 'f**k, f**k, f**k', we just fix it, laugh and move on. But the difficult social issues are the borderline cases — people who do some good work, but who are also a pain in the neck.
