Sad, but apparently true.
It all started when I came across a page on Wikipedia which was inaccurate and had an article attached which did not seem to be have any place in a respectable encyclopedia- free and online or not. So I logged in and amended the text and took the article out.
I figured that for an online encyclopedia to be of any use it should at the very lest be both accurate and objective. It was then put back in, so I took it out again. I then got a message telling me in no uncertain terms that I had been reported for vandalizing a page and if I continued to do this I would be blocked. 
"Hold on a second" I thought, "all I've done is correct an article by amending a paragraph so that it was objective and removed an article that would have no place in any respectable encyclopedia." "Blueboy" (not their real user name) did not seem to agree. So now I'm a page vandal. 
My friend tells me that's the equivalent of being socially unacceptable in cyberspace. Apparently it's OK to vandalize a reputation online. Just make sure your not the one who tries correct it. 
That's serious.
