Elizabeth Morgan Saga

Andrew Morrow first read about Elizabeth Morgan in a 1980 issue of Reader's Digest. He also read in the Baltimore Sun about the trails against her ex-husband and her incarceration and release. He learned about the passing of the Elizabeth Morgan Act and its overturning on the Internet. It was that overturning in 2003 started Amorrow down the pathway to the Wikipedia. Amorrow first ran across this person who calls herself The Countess to understand that the Elizabeth Morgan story was not quite as simple as it might first appear. Amorrow registered at Wikipedia and, for the first several months, things went well.

In early August 2005, an entire month's worth of Amorrow's progress on the article was reverted by User:Nunh-huh. On top of that, an AfD was done on another of my articles by User:Xaa who had been encountering me about the Morgan article. Amorrow was so angry that he wrote an article on Michael Sylvester , which I knew was potentially rather cruel of me. All I can point out is how hard it is to properly organize information like the Morgan story only to see someone tear much of it down in a few seconds. By far, the worst aspects are:

1. That the basis of Nunh-huh's revert was not based on content but rather just to revert to a version that was created by anyone-but-Amorrow (the equivalent of the Nazi's burning books of certain authors, especially Jewish authors)

2. That Xaa's AfD would not result in the article simply being marked as deleted but the process would result in the hiding of the content so that the public could not find it anywhere (it was not old enough to have been recorded by archive.org)

Amorrow wrote the MS article because he was so angry about being lynched by a pack Wikipedia editors who noticed him because he wrote the Elizabeth Morgan article that they looked at all of his other work at Wikipedia and did AfD. Amorrow was angry and this what he meant by picking an innocent bystander, this professional opera singer, and dredging up this mostly-forgotten personal disaster for this professional singer because he was a handy bystander to "shoot in the head" in a psychic sense. In that manner, Amorrow pulled a psychic stunt and used Wikipedia just to lash out at a real-live person to stomp right into Mr. Sylverster's mind and presumptuously make himself at home. Amorrow pulled to stunt to show how powerful NPOV can be. Actually, Amorrow is a pretty nice guy most of the time. In fact, you could argue that while this memory is hurtful, all Amorrow did was gather and preserve the information (this painful memory), provide adequate citations and organize it. From the point of view of information and entropy, Amorrow was constructive, not destructive Hey! Is that not what making opera is all about?

Amorrow also used the memory of Antonia Morgan to do a little critique on Dr. Morgan. Amorrow knows that the existence of the biography of Dr. Morgan does not effect Dr. Morgan directly nearly as much as it effects her 20-something daughter, Ellen who uses the Internet and all of whose friends use the Internet and… you get the idea (but Dr. Morgan's mother and Dr. Morgan's daughter are the royal roads into Dr. Morgan's mind, are they not?). All Amorrow does is do exactly what Wikipedia was designed to do: present the knowledge in an NPOV way.

Amorrow even got innocent 10-year-old Herbie (the son of the guy who did take two bullets in the leg (Arlen Slobodow) to, on April 15, 2006 do an impromptu brain dump which was later reverted at Wikipedia (that is not Amorrow writing that message, it is Herbie):

"from a witness(omy god hi wikindipedia i am Herbert Slobodow, son of Arlen slobodow and Elsa newman and shoot my dad came up here, i know all about this trial cause i witnessed it, i was in it……… first off i would like to say that in this case, my mom was obviosly guilty, ive lived wit her, she somtimes would jump out of the freakin car while my dad was driving if she wanted him to driv efaster, hed have to pull over when mom did this, but this was before thier divorce. in the divorce i would go to diferent houses, my moms and dads, one night at dads , i wake up after hearing a load bang. i hear argue ment in dads room, i hear gimmi the phone, in my dads voice, and fuck you , in another, i run to my dads room and see my dad fighting with my moms friend, blood on my dads leg and a phone in my moms friends hand. dad tells me to get the phone in the kichen, my moms friend yells a t me to go back to bed, i ignore her and listen to dad, i go to the kitchen and find a phone i call 911, and suddenly i see some one running past mye and out the base ment. dad gets the phone from me and talks to the cops,thats the story.)"

Look at the diff. That is not Amorrow: that is 10-year-old Herbie Slobodow, who was woken up by the sound of the gunfire as his father took two bullets in the leg (for instance, getting shot in the leg is how Sean Taylor died on November 27, 2007. That is how A. S. Johnston died in the opening hours of Shiloh. Simple: the bullet finds the femoral artery and you are dead soon afterwards. The point is: Herbie's father could easily have died, but he was somewhat lucky). Amorrow took this innocent 10-year-old child, stomped right into this child's mind and got the info he would never have gotten if it were not for Wikipedia.

Jimmy Wales on 2 February 2007 chopped the Elizabeth Morgan story down to one sentence. Amorrow was constructive and Jimmy Wales was destructive.

This action results in the 2007 message to Senator Lieberman.
