Maybe, but when someone I never saw before on the mailing list (or I forgot) does a long e-mail like this on the mailing list. And when that user very recently had a RFAR filed against him and is now banned indefinitely. It's very hard to take that user or the e-mail seriously. Especially when you read the case and see the diffs. That btw has got nothng to do with editcount.
Who, do you think, would be most suitable at pointing out flaws in Wikipedia? Someone who was confronted with a number of them in rapid succession, or someone who is part of the problem? Of course my vision could well be distorted by my experience. But during all of this I have gotten the support of various other editors, who were equally disappointed with "how stuff works" here. I can assure you, the entire procedure that I have been victim of has been highly controversial, and that is not simply my personal, disgruntled opinion.
