Two ninnies trading spent taunts isn't going to cut it.

We need a dueling challenge.

Went through this one. I don't see how the author has a clue about real
narcissism. The narcissist is like Narcissus, thus merely dying of hunger,
and not harming others, out of stunned self-admiration for his own beauty.
He is never part of any evil parasitical *group*. One may not feel sorry for
the narcissist - certainly the narcissist does not ask for it! But one
could feel sorry for those who love the narcissist in vain, like the young
lady in the original mythological story.

Et cetera, et cetera.

Is your book _Malignant Self Love_ an English translation
of a book written in Czech? When I consulted the Library
of Congress catalog, I saw that it was published in Prague
by an unnamed publisher.

Your Web page "Six Sins of the Wikipedia" makes
a not half-bad case ("not half bad" is an English
locution for "pretty good") against intellectual bloat.
But, it remains that the Wikipedia has become
indispensable for specialized info in one
place that was never available in an authoritative
source like the Britannica.

For instance, I, who am something of a guru
in the .Net Framework, consulted it a short
time ago for specific version features that
were not quite at my fingertips anywhere
else. I got the info I needed from a well-written
article.

I too am leery of the vanity piece. I have
in mind for instance an entry for a local celeb
whom I knew in childhood. There are no
cross-citations from other articles for the bio,
nor does it contain any references of its own.
The piece could be discarded in housecleaning.

Therein lies one key to the success of the wiki
concept: good entries become better and
poor entries stagnate.

The Internet certainly burst the bubble of the information monopolists!
