The only significant source of contention at Wikipedia is when people try
to unduly influence articles.
Exactly.
Yet, it is possible to create a system where
unduly influencing articles
cannot be achieved.
But how can this benefit you? If such a system actually worked, you'd be
completely unable to edit. Oh wait, we must already have such a system,
because you are effectively unable to edit now.
if we are willing to let our influence be based on
the quality of our edits
We are; that's why you have absolutely no influence.

Even if everything you've written is correct, there's no need to be so
antagonistic with someone who is already blocked. This reads as a
petty stab at someone who's already ostracized from the Wiki. Admins
and arbitrators should rise above such behavior, even when it tests
their patience.
