If they are sensible, then why are they on Wikipedia Review? While the sensible are not responsible for the insane and paranoid, if they willingly choose to participate in a forum where the insane and paranoid plot their attacks, what does that say about how sensible they supposedly are? Wikipedia blocks its trolls, and if WR's defenders (and by defenders I mean both WR-ites and people who say "eh, they have some good people in the mess" or "they come up with the intelligent critique now and then") want people to take it seriously and not view it as an insane attack site, then WR should do the same.
Maybe they're there to find a forum where they can speak their mind without being labeled a "troll" for it? Maybe the absence of the cliques and taboos of Wikipedia are sometimes considered to be a positive thing even by people not sharing the ideologies of the nutters in that site?

What I'm looking to find is a post from you that doesn't rail about "cliques of Wikipedia".
