Bingo. We're not a social experiment -- we're trying to build an encyclopedia. I don't see any encyclopedia projects running themselves like a real justice system or national government. Wikipedia does not exist to mete out justice to people who try to edit it. Nobody has an innate right to edit Wikipedia or be done justice by other people who edit it.
Exactly. It's the only way to think of it. It's a corrupt, unfair, partisan shambles. Much like a frontier town council.
About all we are united in is the wish to improve the encyclopaedia and to beat off the vandals.
