    Do you not see how it blurrs the line between "harassment" and "abuse"?
    As a matter of principle I don't accept wiki as a source of information.

    I'm also not sure we were arguing that 'harassment' is the same as complimenting a woman's legs once, or pinching a woman's ass in the pub. My understanding of harassment is it generally involves some ongoing behavior or something grossly inappropriate. If you have some sample tweets you could share where a single compliment was reported for the purpose of shaming a man then that might be more persuasive.

    Lots of crimes aren't premeditated. Carelessness and/or lack of foresight are morally no different from premeditation if they lead to a negative outcome. The former types of errors in morality can be excused in children perhaps, but not adults.

    Naturally, it's too neutral I guess.

    Wikipedia is an outstanding source of information. More fool you if you reject wiki while citing CNN.

    More that it's not peer-reviewed, but take it as you will.

    When do I cite CNN as a source of facts? I might link to a report they give that doesn't mean I use them to support an argument I'm making.

    You're basing this on what?

    I'm happy to consider the idea that taken in sum, the political leanings of Wiki's various contributors are unlikely to be heavily biased. But that's not the same as saying "person X who wrote page Y that I'm referring to here is neutral, and can't possibly have a political motive." You have no idea why person X wrote page Y, or if they were in any way qualified to do so, unless you yourself are expert on the topic.

    So, not only could they be clueless, they could very well not be neutral. That is why Wiki is generally regarded as unreliable.
