When they argue about policy with longtime editors who
actually know
something about policy, they *are* doing harm. They are wasting the time
and trying the patience of someone who is actually contributing to the
goal
of the project.

This is one of the worst things I have heard said in the context of
the wikipedia.
you've been on Wikipedia for how many years now? I'm going to have to
assume this is hyperbole.

Please re-read what you wrote instead.
Also, I stopped using my name / providing personal details on this
project after a particularly offensive statement was made on this list
regarding my step-son. I have realised there are too many bad people
here, and too few measures taken against them for me to feel
comfortable or safe being less than anonymous. Nothing personal, but
please refer to me by my user name. Thanks,
