If you wish to use that framework, you are welcome to. If it is a battle, it is a battle between those who wish to provide free, neutral information to humanity and those who would see that goal either thwarted or perverted.
And it wounds my pride to think that anybody believes that my own goal is anything other than that, but that's what's implied by various things people have said to and about me in these discussions.
I favor providing free, neutral information to humanity, and I view the use of punitive, vindictive, and emotional approaches, wherein the primary goal becomes less to produce an encyclopedia than to find and exterminate alleged enemies, to be counterproductive to this goal.

So you'll be leaving Wikipedia Review, then? Or don't you know that Brandt has a stated desire to destroy Wikipedia?
Obviously you /are/ talking about WR here because we have never expressed the intent to destroy anyone, only to prevent those whose goals are diametrically opposed to "providing free, neutral information to humanity" from abusing Wikipedia in order to do so.
