How come all Wikipedia critics are banned former users?

I suppose if someone never edited Wikipedia and was then slandered by Wikipedia, he would only have nice things to say about Wikipedia, right?

There is at least one Wikipedia critic who is not a banned former user: John Seigenthaler, Sr. The octogenarian had heard about Wikipedia but didn't look at it until his son pointed out to him the slanderous biography of him on Wikipedia.

But we get tired of bringing him up again and again. There are other people who've been slandered by Wikipedia who were never users. I can search for them if you like.

I'm a Wikipedia critic who is not a banned former user. Does that help?

As a Wikipedia user I can honestly say that critics are not banned unless you are doing stuff like "OMG WIKI SUX". Actually went up to a Wikipedia meetup with weekend and I know someone who talked to Sue Gardner (The second in command at Wikipedia) and told her the help page sucked. Now their is a large renovation of the help pages. She even participated in helping to find the issues.

I am not a banned former user - in fact, I was never even a user.

There are lots of critics who have never even been blocked - you obviously don't know what you're talking about. In fact, I would have to say you're a very silly person.

Your inability to see the obvious pattern has caused a black hole to form in my cerebellum.
