Welcome to the club. Wikipeida is no longer an encyclopedia, in my view.
It has devolved into simply another write-enabled website where anyone
with an opinion can have a rant.
And that's sad.
He didn't rant on Wikipedia, though, he ranted on a Wikipedia-related
mailing list. While it may still be arguable whether it was appropriate to
do so at least it doesn't affect Wikipedia itself in any way. User: pages
come a little closer, but even in that case User: pages are quite well
segregated from the encyclopedia content.
