I won't even get into that. The idea that slightly different ideas about what the perfect Wikipedia would be in the far future is enough to make you leave is, frankly, bizarre.
Perhaps. Of course we can have different goals, and that should not be much of a problem as in the great majority of the cases the goals are nevertheless in the same direction. But if it's going to be talked about as "the goal of the project" rather than "my goal" - then I'm not so sure any more whether I belong here.
By the way, what I (and I suspect Ruimi) specifically mean by having universalism as a goal for Wikipedia is that my goal is for Wikipedia to be applicable or common to all purposes, conditions, or situations.
Very well, I can live with that. Or at least, I can live with the way it has till now been implemented on Wikipedia.
