Wikipedia Review is not monolithic, of course, any more than Wikipedia is -- you're making the same mistakes that people made about Wikipedia for years. Some people on WR are completely insane; others are just deeply misguided and paranoid; a few are rather sensible. There is no cabal.
If they are sensible, then why are they on Wikipedia Review? While the sensible are not responsible for the insane and paranoid, if they willingly choose to participate in a forum where the insane and paranoid plot their attacks, what does that say about how sensible they supposedly are? Wikipedia blocks its trolls, and if WR's defenders (and by defenders I mean both WR-ites and people who say "eh, they have some good people in the mess" or "they come up with the intelligent critique now and then") want people to take it seriously and not view it as an insane attack site, then WR should do the same.
