Techdirt reported on Perverted-Justice's decision to name and shame Wikipedia as a "Corporate Sex Offender" for allowing suspected pedophiles to serve as editors of the user-created encyclopedia. Perverted-Justice decided to redirect all inbound traffic from the online encyclopedia to a page detailing all of Wikipedia's supposed transgressions. The result of Techdirt's post? Comments 62-79 consist of the words "TECH DIRT IS FULL OF FILTHY PEDOPHILES!" repeated over and over. Call it the Internet equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and repeating "la la la I can't hear you."

What Perverted-Justice supporters are apparently not interested in hearing is how Eide has behaved on Wikipedia. Called out for repeatedly engaging in flamewars with other users, Eide was banned from the online encyclopedia. He has a heck of a way of getting even.

A tipster points out why DEMO is full of wannabes:

I have to confess that I am always disgusted by the amount of media attention showered on the Demo conference. Do these journalists realize that the companies "selected" have all had to fork over $18,500 to be featured? And yet, the press covers the conference as if Chris Shipley had hand-picked the companies based only on the strength of their product offering. Yuck!

A pay-to-play trade show with undeserving presenters? Say it ain't so!
