, 01:44, March 10, 2007→Jimmy Wales and atheism/passionate adherent of Ayn Rand's Objectivism: commenting
:::: We have Wiki admins here who can answer this better than I. But my understanding is that Wiki admins are picked from the "ground up", by nomination and acclamation, rather than by selection by Jimmy Wales. I doubt that Jimmy Wales' personal beliefs have anything to do with the bias on Wikipedia. The real problem is the lack of meaningful principles which results in mob rule, and the mob has become a liberal one.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:19, 9 March 2007 (EST)

::::: I'm not going to address the mob issues and such since I doubt I will change anyone's opinions, but to comment: admins are choosen by community consensus (as Andrew put it from the "ground up"). Jimbo only steps in under very limited circumstances and then has not stepped in any any political issue in my memory. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 20:44, 9 March 2007 (EST)
