Wikipedia isn’t the greatest source. Most colleges and universities will dock you points for using it.

Do you have a better source for the claims you’re making?

First, please list for me thirteen colleges and universities that won't accept Wikipedia as a source. I'm waiting.

You’re the one making the claims, the burden of proof isn’t on me.

If universities accept Wikipedia as a source that universally it shouldn’t be an issue to come up with a better source.

flips table and screams incoherently

How am I supposed to continue this conversation if you’re going to act aggressively and scream incoherently?

Making sense is very important to having civil conversations and constructive discourse which is what I’m trying to do right now.

Any further outbursts and I’ll have to gracefully exit this conversation for my own safety.

From a user to me today:

I don't believe for a second you don't understand the difference, and it is such a silly and irrelevant thing to bring into this conversation that I can only conclude you aren't arguing in good faith at this point, and you're just trying to waste my time. You have a good one.

It took me way too long to get the joke. I need another cup of tea.pp
