I thank you Jimbo
I apologize to all of you collectively for my
emotional dismay, which also show me I must take a
break.
Given that I am a hopeless wikipediholic, I will try
to take holidays from the en wiki.
A good plan - it's very easy to get wrapped up in serious debate,
but that takes away the enjoyment - and yet there are thousands
of "fun" articles to add, noncontroversial content that is a necessary
part of a comprehensive encyclopedia. In the space of eight months
I've seen a bunch of heavy-duty contributors burn out and leave
when the fighting overshadows content creation, so I think we need
to watch out for signs of burnout and encourage each other to explore
new and different areas that will be re-energizing to work on.
