You can say it a thousand times, but when diligent contributors acting in
good faith, are driven off by a political machine with an agenda of its
own, nullifies the premise. It not only deters the goal of writing an
encyclopedia, it risks the issues of validity and censorship.

shortcomings, it's getting an encyclopaedia built.
Accept that from your point of view the system is crooked and rigged and
get
on with it. Complaining about it only gets
everyone offside.

of us who are here to write an encyclopedia couldn't care less.
