The Wiki ideal is consensus. Think of the above topics and consensus. The Wiki rule of anonymous contributions abets abuse. Editors who disagree duke it out on the discussion page, a sort of Lord of the Flies world where ganging up and bullying reign. Wiki co-founder Larry Sanger left the project in protest against this 'mob rule.' As Sanger put it, 'A few of the project’s participants can be, not to put a nice word on it, pretty nasty. And this is tolerated.'"
