How is it collaborative, open or free content to
allow others to
ignore the contributions of our co-contributors?
Part of collaboration in an open content context is the opportunity to
discard material that is wrong or not useful.

With all due respect Fred, where does it say that? And how can
you assume that material that is contributed to Wikipedia is wrong
or not useful? This seems like a dangeous way of looking at the
kind of collaboration that we are undertaking. What you
are essentially saying is that if someone uses the internet to
develop open content that even that process of development can
be bastardized. I think that is too literal reading of what open content
means. Even open content has to have the right to be developed.
