David, I was not referring to any single person here. But, since you
volunteered, take a close look at our two posts: I'm talking about the very
health of the Wikipedia Community itself; while you talk about focusing on
living biographies and trolls.

I'm certainly not suggesting discussing these Community problems in the
media; but, rather, spending more productive time focusing on
problem-solving them here at home.

Take a really close look at the majority of posts on this List for the past
couple of days, and then tell me where the focus needs to be.

Marc
