Do you? We are here to build an encyclopedia. The
community aspect is a means to an end, not an end in
itself (and I think that was the underlying message
that Danny was writing about). And please consider how
insulting it appears to put in quotes the word
"Wikipedian" when referring to another contributor; in
English this implies that you believe the other person
is not a real Wikipedian. That isn't nice and I hope
you will do the right thing and apologize to Danny -
who /is/ a damn good and very real Wikipedian.
