Let's read and quote what it actually says there, shall we?

"If you're here to do other things than make the best possible free
encyclopedia, then -- to borrow a nauseatingly common theme from the
other side's advocates -- the door's right over there."

I think every word of that is the case and needs to be drummed into
people's heads, myself.

Note also it's an if-then. Your offence at the statement implies you
meet the condition, and hence are here for some other reason. Is that
what you meant?
