There is a cabal, but it's a damn ineffective one.

Not so much a cabal as a mobile vulgus.
love individuals... but not mobs.

There is a cabal every time more than two editors communicate out of public view.
This must be eliminated for the sake of the wiki. Editors talking to each other must be treated as inherently suspicious.

The last people to recognize that a cabal is in operation are those who are members of that cabal.

(And this is why we must stop editors communicating, so that they don't do anything.)

Wikipedia would be so much simpler if it weren't for all the editors, eh?

Apparently I am the cabal and didn't know it. I just marked someone's message spam--oh, wait, after the forwarding to Slim instead of the list debacle, everyone already realizes that I don't know how to use e-mail and will just assume I made a mistake, right?
Maybe this is how all the en-wiki posts got into my spam mail box the first time....
