Sidewiki crashes my browser. I cant uninstall it without unistalling the google toolbar. So now as a result I have to get rid of google all together. Not good. WTF is google thinking with this garbage? Very disapointed.

Not that it’s really surprising that Google would approach the game this way, as they are famous for their double standards, but it still makes me angry!

Your observations are absolutely dead-on. They have been systematically removing anything from Sidewiki that targets them, while letting blatantly vile, disgusting comments remain (as long as they aren’t directed at Google or anti-Sidewiki)

I’ve posted screenshots on my blog to prove it.

Further, please see this link, where there is supporting evidence to show that even on Google’s own “tell us what you’d like to see on Sidewiki” voting page (they removed anyone’s ability to vote after they saw that people were voting for an Opt Out capability) they didn’t actually want people to give them feedback. They just wanted “certain” people to tell them how much they liked Sidewiki.

This is becoming an absolute nightmare.
