If you use Uncyclopedia, you can stick this on your userpage:

Uncyclopedia and Wikipedia are good... Uncyclopedia is good for learning a little while having mostly fun... wikipedia is good for serious work... and ED is WORTHLESS

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

I've labelled both Uncyclopedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica as Aspie Enemies because of their respective articles on AS.

Uncyc is less offensive than ED, but both of them (especially ED) are wastes of webspace. I ignore both of them - although with ED there is a bit of a personal issue which I won't elaborate on. It has been calmed as of late.

ED and Uncyclopedia are hilarious.

If you can't laugh at yourself, well... I just don't know.


But it's not me, Beau - that's the point. And it's not most Aspies in my opinion as well.

Reyaria, there's a difference between a harmless joke and a harmful one. These two play off one stereotype and tar all of us with the same brush. I don't think that's funny at all - that is in fact downright dangerous in my book.

It's a JOKE.
A joke.


I don't agree. And I'll leave it at that because I've said all that is needed to be said about it.

Ofcourse ED is worthless, but it is funny at being useless. I can spend days reading articles on EDrama. It is high-larious.

There are topics there that I very much do not like, but I just close it and move on to another that I might.

Actually no, Oscuria, it wouldn't - because programs like Net Nanny and the like pick up the regular porn websites and block them. This doesn't happen with ED because it's a Wiki.

I've never even heard of ED before, so it must be crap.

I've spent many hours bouncing round Uncyclopedia. I love the running gags, like Kitten Huffing, Russian Reversal and made up Oscar Wilde quotes, that are twisted to fit into all the different topics.

Everything2.com is another random wiki site that can eat loads of time.

Like the War on Terrorism - there's a right way to fight, and a wrong way. ED uses a wrong way. For the record - I happen to think Scientology stinks as well.

TLPG, have you read up on it? Have you seen any news reports? The war against Scientology is actually being done well, by current protest standards. The protests are peaceful; The only incidents have been Assaults on the protestors by the Church of Scientology, Bull Baiting, and attempts to follow the protestors.

If you check out ED , you'd be amazed just how much info there is on their efforts, and on behalf of free speech, on behalf of those who're abused by Scientology, and for those who have had their lives destroyed by Scientology.

I'll link you to some of the more shocking information on Scientology that the Church tries to suppress, deny, and avoid speaking of.

Nothing wrong with peaceful protests, IMO.

You can find pornographic images on Wikipedia as well. Should it be banned? I understand that is a stretch but you can find "indecent' images almost anywhere on the web.

ED is the best website ever. I might join it and help with the grammar and spelling of the articles.
