No, I am making judgments based on what is actually happening. See
the Alkivar arbitration for a real-world example of how the
influence of this particular site is currently damaging Wikipedia.
The problem is, through your words and your actions,
you lead me to
believe that you regard anyone who has had absolutely any connection
with any site frequented by anyone you don't like as utterly
contemptible. If you edited WR once, well you might as well be Jon
Awbrey himself! (or Bagley, or Barber).
No, I regard the current high-profile WR crowd, notably Bagley (user
WordBomb), Barber (user JB196 / WR user Looch) and Awbrey (WR user
Jonny Cache) as enemies of the project. So do they. They have no
interest whatsoever in Wikipedia other than as a place to pursue
their personal agenda. They are resourceful, determined and their
agenda is inimical to ours. Once they are gone then WR might
perhaps turn into a group of people worth listening to.
Cleaning up after these abusers has cost me and numerous others a
lot of time and effort. A lot.
