You know some of this comes right from you? You were literally promoting your association with Gab - https://www.epik.com/blog/why-epik-welcomed-gab-com.html

It's like people forgot all these past Gab threads.

Gab is known for having a lot of hate, anti-Jewish posting.

You were on Twitter telling people if people have issues with Gab, to contact you. People thought you were one of the admins. You were active over there.

The video where you got on cam with 2 racists. I was aware of it, but it was actually you that first posted that video here at NP. You were complimenting David Duke as well.

You were trying to tap that market, sell product. So when you do that kind of stuff, what do you expect?

You made a lot of mistakes with all that stuff and I understand you're wanting to take a different course. But this is the result of your actions.

No disagreement.

However, the Wackipedia article written by Queer Molly is inadequate, riddled with inaccuracies, and clearly slanted. Furthermore, it has omitted much more than it included.

To be fair, yeah, it does lean negative. However, it is sourced, you can just scroll to the bottom and checked the references. They quote him, they link to sources etc.

I don't think a woman should be harrassed because of the clothing she wears. Do you?

The whole Gab thing was wrong in my opinion, but illegal it was not. I don't think Epik should be harrassed because of what it wore that day.

I don't think "What did you think would happen" is a fair question.

I don't really get that analogy at all.

Should a business be judged by the people they do business with, while happily promoting that connection? Yes.

Okay I changed it to harrassed for the faint of heart.

If you believe that, then why isn't more written on other companies. The point is, Queer Molly picked up on the Epik action and ran with it like a reporter instead of capturing the essence of what Wikipedia is all about.

Her article should have been about something other than Epik. She seemed fixated on Neo-Nazi, etc.

I think Queer Molly just wanted to get Epik. Of course, that my opinion. Her writing clearly conveys it.

Even @JB Lions got the feel of a negative slant. I don't know why you can't admit that. It's as clear as your monitor in front of you.

Hello. There is a lot of misinformation (and simple misunderstanding) here around my activities on Wikipedia, and while I have invited anyone who has questions to engage with me either on Twitter or on Wikipedia (links available elsewhere in this thread—I am not allowed to include links in my posts on this site without upgrading my account) there haven't been many takers. I was hesitant to create an account here because I am not a member of the domaining industry and did not want to seem like I was barging in on Mr. Monster's community, nor do I want to escalate things with Mr. Monster. However after being invited here by a few people and seeing repeated confusion I decided to create an account. I do thank those of you who did reach out to me for clarification—I believe strongly in open, good-faith dialogue.

I have been quite taken aback to find all these threads about me on a website I am not a part of, and am saddened to see that the thread linking to the Change.org petition full of lies about me has remained up. I have published a clarifying statement on that petition here, which I invite you all to read. I have just tweeted out the link and if someone who is able to post links could link it here directly, I would appreciate it. I have tried to explain things as clearly as I can.

I hope you all are staying safe and healthy in this pandemic.

Yours,
Molly

So can we discuss your wikipedia article? I have no bias against you or Epik. I am a fan of Wikipedia and have written there in years past.

However, you can probably read this thread to get an understanding of why I think you need to reopen that article and re-write it. It could be so much better.

Hello and welcome Molly!

Thanks for coming.

I just want to state that I disagree with what you have stated about Epik on Wikipedia.

Can you explain how you came to the conclusion that Epik is "known" for anything?

 

[Molly White]

It is not my Wikipedia article, though I am one of the people who actively edits it. I prefer to discuss the content of Wikipedia articles on their article talk pages, so that many Wikipedians may weigh in on the suggested edits, not just me. However if you are not comfortable creating an account there I will try to answer the questions I can.

Please read the linked post. I have shown evidence that this is not true.

Thank you for that. I am familiar with your status at Wikipedia.

So, wouldn't you agree that Wikipedia's goal is to provide as complete and thorough information as possible?

It appears that that particular article presents a very narrow picture of the company. It appears focused on topics that are highly sensitive.

Are you going to apologize to @Molly White for the name calling and disparaging comments?

Which? If Molly requests an apology for something, I will absolutely take a look and apologize if deemed inaccurate or otherwise.

 

[Molly White]

Can you explain how you came to the conclusion that Epik is "known" for anything?

Yes, that statement is based on the fact that its links with the far right make up the vast majority of mainstream reporting on the company. As one commenter (username "Britishfinance") pointed out on the talk page today, that is well-supported by sources including Forbes ("Far-right linked firms Epik...") and Vice ("As a registrar, Epik plays an important role in the online infrastructure necessary to keep far right extremists online, including those that advocate violence"), which actually state the connection more severely than the Wikipedia article. Sorry, I am stymied a bit by not being able to link to any of these things, but look at the Epik talk page and ctrl-F "britishfinance" to find it.

I see. Well, by contrast, please take a look at this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoDaddy

or this.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter
or this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google

Should those pages be edited and should the opening paragraphs be similar to the one here..

You see @Molly White , this discussion has been about what some (including myself) see as a failure on the part of Wikipedia.

Wikipedia will be diminished if individual editors write freely instead of innocuously.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

I think Queer Molly just wanted to get Epik.

the Wackipedia article written by Queer Molly is inadequate

How many times are you going to refer to her as Queer Molly?

Do you want me to refer to you as [insert word here] + [insert your first name here]?

If adding queer is necessary to your argument, than get to it. Opposed to doubling down on what some might see as irrelevant, or even antagonistic, if you don't provide a reason for judging, or referring to Molly as such.

#wearenotgab

 

[Molly White]

I did not write the Wikipedia article on GoDaddy. If you think there is reporting that is missing from that article, I strongly encourage you to suggest it on the talk page. However I will say that the overwhelming majority of coverage of Epik in mainstream news is to do with the far-right associations—that is not true of GoDaddy, Twitter, Google, etc. That is why their controversial actions are not as prominent in those articles—though I will note that critical coverage of all of those companies is included on Wikipedia.

Apologies again, I am trying to reply to your comments in a timely fashion but I am now running into rate limits.

I'm not going to repeat them. I'm not necessarily referring to anything inaccurate, since I don't have the facts. But you certainly posted in deeming terms to lower her.

You see Molly, words like "overwhelming" are subjective.

Your answer is a deflection?
