Interesting that Mike Godwin would be Jimbo Wales' lawyer. They're both members of The WELL, the original on-line cult formed by members of Stephen Gaskin's Summerville cult in Tennessee, among others.

Seth, I have not been the legal intern for the foundation since September.

Posted by Richard Bennett at December 10, 2007 04:49 PMI can't decide if this is hilarious or frightening.
Posted by Michael Zimmer at December 10, 2007 09:04 PMI guess the Wikipedia policy of "No Legal Threats" doesn't apply to the personal blogs of Wikipedians.
Posted by Dan T. at December 11, 2007 07:46 PMConsidering the fact that the Wiki foundation is still based on public donations, I do not think they can justify running after an intern. The Guardian may be but not the intern. Tough call, funny and frightening all in one. Good luck Dan.

sincere question. are you really calling the farm a cult? or just trying to make a point?
do you have any idea what ina may gaskin has done to protect women against the "birth as a medical emergency" model/mindset perpetuated by ama encouraged obstetricians? and how many lives she has saved and will continue to save?
(slightly off-topic, but i am mystified.)
