You're giving the attackers what they want, at the expense of the victims. Now that you're featured on WR, you're going to be under scrutiny yourself - are you willing to quit and abandon all your WP work when they start attacking you? And no, coming back under another name won't help, they are always ready to make sockpuppet accusations.
You really should go take a look at WR, and see the malevolence for yourself.
Wikipedia Review is not monolithic, of course, any more than Wikipedia is -- you're making the same mistakes that people made about Wikipedia for years. Some people on WR are completely insane; others are just deeply misguided and paranoid; a few are rather sensible. There is no cabal.
Anyway, I very much doubt WR would be able to identify a random new editor who happens to be the former slimvirgin. I don't know much about S.V., but if she can't get anything at all done as an ordinary editor, then perhaps we need to give ordinary editors more powers.
