The community is fairly robust. The productive community especially so. The idiots will
eventually get their asses kicked. This trivial drama does not have especially major
impact where it matters, no will it. A sense of proportion is required. Life goes on.

to play silly political games. That seems to have been lost sight of. If
you're not doing maintaining encyclopedicity, then what good are you doing?
I've been trying to do more of this the last few months.
Sticking my head in the sand and hoping that the dumb politics would
go away didn't work. I advise the rest of you not to ignore it
either. This is bad for the community. It needs to stop.
