Like Steven said ED is in it for the lulz. So please don't feed the trolls (I know a few editors from en:wp that are on ED). In terms of legal standing, US has much less plaintiff-friendly Defamation laws than most European Countries, and most differ widely from state to state. I don't think you w

People on ED are exactly the same as 4chan: they are in it for the lulz.[1] They will probably always write these attack pages/satire/whatever term you prefer. We're mostly pretty odd folk, so it's easy to make fun. But giving them attention of any kind is what they want most, since it gives them

Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Encyclopedia Dramatica is a parody site. Plenty of people have tried to shut them down before, it's unlikely to ever happen (and in my opinion, should never happen). If they have an offensive article about you, trying to get rid of it will probably make it wo
