If your pushing back was here *rather than* on the wiki, it will have been useless. Did you try on the wiki itself?
David, I don't know what you mean by "the wiki itself".
In the various Wikipedia: space pages where policy is actually discussed and consensus reached. (It isn't here.)
Yes, David I have. One example: For the first year and a half I tried to help improve the Alcoholism Article. I ran head-on into an editor that fought me at every turn regarding the disease concept; he favoring the self-help, "faith-based" approach. I finally gave up in disgust over the process. I have found the Talk Pages to be as set in their ways as are the Mailing Lists. But, no surprise there, they represent the same culture.
Life's too short, David - there are still too many important things to accomplish.
