You're not helping, at all. Stop begging for me to be moderated for The Truth, wake up, and smell the corrodite. Unless you can't handle the truth?

Hi. This post is inflammatory and content-free. If your goal is to be heard on points you think are important to Wikipedia's success, posts like this are harming your cause. To the extent people agree with you, you are harming their causes, too.
If your goal is to create drama, then I would be much obliged if you did it on one of the many parts of the internet where drama is welcome, or even the goal.
Assuming you're really here to help, then I'd suggest you take a break to relax (personally, I use long walks) and then check out these articles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CIVIL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NPA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:TIGERS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:COOL
I'm sure you've seen some of them before, and may even resent some of them as sticks you feel people have used to whack you. But they're very helpful guidelines to getting things done via the regrettably bad medium of plaintext.
Thanks,
William

Thank you for that assessment. I read the "Four things", and they had both good ideas and the provocations quoted above. What people like Flame Viper seem to ignore is that a single viperine injection can obscure a long list of positive suggestions. Wounded animals focus their attention on the source of pain. If these people are really arguing for a more liberalized governance of Wikipedia they should not work so hard at giving ammunition to their opponents.
