That's actually my point. For Wikipedia to be managable, procedure
must be followed and policies must be enforced. Thus, the statements
that I'd quoted were **unfortunately** reasonable. The problem is the
nature of the procedure making this approach reasonable.
IMO needs radical change, along the lines of Larry Sanger's
suggestions. The way things are now, certain trolls flourish while
professional historians like Jtdril
(

Carr get blocked. Some bold structural changes would serve to correct
this problem.
Some bold individual changes by certain people in their personal editing
practices would also serve to correct this problem.
