Based on the one survey of former contributors that has been conducted 
(see 
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Former_Contributors_Survey_Results), 
this doesn't figure highly enough to demonstrate the kind of significant 
minority you suggest. Rather, the concerns of those surveyed are 
overwhelmingly about how rulebound, overly complex, and unfriendly their 
work in the community seemed to be. Perhaps somebody would care to go 
back through the full survey responses and see if they can identify 
comments that fit the "I was being exploited" line you're pushing here. 
I would prefer to hope that as the foundation's community department 
works to develop the fundraising and messaging, it will also create and 
improve upon initiatives that lead to a better community environment, as 
that seems to be the dominant problem.
