You openly admit that you regularly get into situations involving several users saying the same thing about you, without ever considering the possibility that this bunch of people who all came to the same conclusion about you might actually have a point?
Most of what they say is "you are a fascist because you won't let my creationist/neo-Nazi/racist/conspiracy theory/anti-Semitic/etc. FACTS into Wikipedia!"
The reason they say the same thing is because they come up against the rule: NPOV.
I get along just fine with reasonable users and people with reasonable complaints or objections. People who are generally nutty or have a hard-line agenda to push generally run into problems with me and with others.
So yeah. I enforce the rules at Wikipedia, and the rules at Wikipedia say that a lot of content that dedicated and nutty users want to add can't be added. In such cases, I am often GLAD to be the target of their common complaints -- to be told that you do a good job in keeping out nonsense is no insult at all.
