Talk about Web 2.OMG! Wikipedia founder, Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales gets outed as "a creep" by ex-lover and FOX News personality, Rachel Marsden, who forwarded their steamy IMs and the following breakup email around the Net:

No, in fact, you are much, much worse than I ever expected. You are an absolute creep, and it was a colossal mistake on my part to have gotten involved with you. Now, my suspicions about you have been proven dead-on. I never again want anything to do with you, and though I have every intention of putting all of this behind me ASAP (which will be VERY easy to do, given the disgusting reality), I am happy to tell anyone who happens to ask precisely what I think of you. There is nothing good left to say whatsoever. Goodbye Jimmy, and good riddance."
