"some amazing people are working behind the scenes and in the front
lines over there [i.e. at Wikipedia], putting in the hours to make a difference and make
Wikipedia better. [...] We wouldn't have this site if we didn't respect and love
the concept of a Wikipedia. It's the implementation we have issues with."

I believe them when they say they are pro-Wikipedia.
I've been astonished by how many Wikipedians are unwilling to be open to criticism (one of the essential elements of a cult by the way :) !)
I don't agree with their vehemence of the opposition to WP:OFFICE. But anyone who's been following this debate about Erik and Danny
will realise its implementation has been completely ham-fisted at times. So disagree with Wikitruth, and prove it wrong, but don't lie about it.

Endnote: Yes they did copy an article about a member of Jimbo's family that lingered in the database for several days.
I am glad they are embarassed about that and have deleted it. Makes their motivations more believeable.
