It's true that you have to treat stuff on there with a new sort of dis-trust.  Anyone can post anything and it will stay there until someone else picks-up on it and amends it.

Quite a few personal wars have raged before compromise wording has been achieved.

That said, even printed matter that has gone past editors is vulnerable to schoolboy howlers.  It's just too easy to publish these days.
