LMS makes the argument that Wikipedia right now is much worse than it has
been in the past. 

He asserts that there is an ever-growing group of destructive members.

I don't see that. There seems to be a pretty fixed number of Wikipedians who
write "write nonsense, brazen political propoganda, crankish unsupported
stuff" on a consistent basis.

And that fixed number can be counted on one hand.

It is a problem that people stop editing out of frustration, but the
evidence just isn't there that this is a ballooning problem.
