Actually, for all the "drama queens" there are, it does not seem logical to
assume that those who don't kick up a fuss don't care about the issues. The
vociferous individuals making most noise over issues should really only be
considered the tip of the iceberg, rather than an assumption be made that
because there are few who are so extreme in their reactions, that the
problems don't exist.

What I find a lot more disappointing than outraged inarticulate "drama
queens" who may indeed detract from the issues at hand, is the tendency for
other Wikipedia contributors to stick their head in the sand and pretend
everything is great, or at the very least, stick to the view that despite
any problems, the project and its most involved contributors are proceeding
in the right direction.
