The problem here is the degree of it. The assumption of bad faith that appears to be far too common on AFD has led to an expert being *driven off* Wikipedia by people who are not only proudly ignorant, but are doing their best to get anti-expert bias made policy and the way things work around here.
It's funny, but I quite often create "expert" articles on subjects I'd bet that few wikipedians know about, or have even heard of (e.g.:< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%27s_equation%3E). But I've yet to have one listed on AFD because they are ignorant of the subject, and I'm in no danger of being driven off. Perhaps there's more to the problem than just the "proud ignorance" of AFDers.
