There are a lot of old timers that don't spend a lot of time writing aor editing policies. They don't have time to deal with the mind fucking experience of arguing with policy hawks. The practical approach for them is to wait until they are personally affected by the policy in question before participating in the discussion.
There's a lot to be said for that, but some of us don't get the choice. From the moment in January, 2005, when I thought "wouldn't it be a good idea if people reading this article could actually see a guy sucking his own cock, just the same as we've decided that a person visiting the clitoris article will see a clitoris", and boldly acted upon that thought, it was evident to me that even if I tried to run from policy, it was going to happen to me anyway.
