I  disagree to that statement.

While Fred is about right likening sv:wp to a medium sized town, being a 
bit idyllic, even if persons have feelings here to a get in a conflict 
too (it is the way we, the community,  resolve this that differs)

My message is:Even if en:wp with its size need strong structures around 
administration let us not in general pursue the road of more structures.

Let us instead learn to be more human in our intracommunicaition on the 
wikis (while still being determined to throw out Pov pusher, selfrpomos etc)
