What I find a lot more disappointing than outraged inarticulate "drama queens" who may indeed detract from the issues at hand, is the tendency for other Wikipedia contributors to stick their head in the sand and pretend everything is great, or at the very least, stick to the view that despite any problems, the project and its most involved contributors are proceeding in the right direction.
Guilty as charged. Nothing I do, have done, or am likely to do on Wikipedia is affected by these kinds of shenanigans. So I'm writing articles about Victorian state parks...how am I affected by whether someone got a bit zealous with the block stick?
Which isn't to say that I don't think things could be better. But one more outraged voice isn't going to help. If only there was a place, a mailing list or something, where one could discuss such things without hysteria...
