Since Wikipedia has an aversion to becoming "rule bound", of course
personality is going to win out over process & policies; hence the
"ideological cliques". And most users don't know beans about the ideology
they've inherited, they just mime others who profess to have some
understanding.

Well, in that case, new editors can shift the clique balance of power, to
keep on using that line of thought. Either way, I think the goal should be
to attract new users to help shape the site rather than kicking people out.
