Ah; we agree - the things you have identified so far are *not the real problem*. But you haven't yet (at least not in mail that has reached me) said what the real, central, most important "condition" IS. I, for one, would really like to know.
Historically, the typical ones have been 1) Wikipedia is too leveling - i.e. to work on Wikipedia you have to deal with too many idiots. 2) Wikipedia is secretly run by some evil group. 3) Something else. I suspect your view of the problem is more in the direction of the first one, but I'd really like to hear it directly from you. I've asked for this before, as anyone reviewing this thread can easily observe.

P.S.
that I don't think is likely to improve a bit under this regime of defensiveness and denial.
You may be right, but getting a clear statement of just *what* you think the "condition" is into the archives is a good thing anyway.
