Sean,
I'm glad there's a contrarian on board. Like the Cunctator, you will help balance a process that has a risk of turning into a witch-hunt.
But...
There are only three things that really piss off valuable contributors and drive them away:
Arbitrary reversion of good work (i.e., edit wars with morons)
Name-calling (e.g., "you moron, stop reverting my work")
Ed Poor
P.S. There are 3 kinds of statisticians, those who can count and those who can't ;-)
And the third one is people who seem to be at Wikipedia just to stir the pot, never making any useful contributions.
