What I find a lot more disappointing than outraged
inarticulate "drama

any problems, the project and its most involved contributors are proceeding
in the right direction.
Guilty as charged. Nothing I do, have done, or am likely to do on
Wikipedia is affected by these kinds of shenanigans. So I'm writing
articles about Victorian state parks...how am I affected by whether
someone got a bit zealous with the block stick?
Which isn't to say that I don't think things could be better. But one
more outraged voice isn't going to help. If only there was a place, a
mailing list or something, where one could discuss such things without
hysteria...
