[WikiEN-l] User categories and the fear of becoming a social network

[Ned Scott]

True, but I think "Wikipedians by mental and physiological condition  
and subcats" are categories where it's not realistic that people are  
using such categories for social networking or POV-pushing. In other  
words, commenting on the ones that are not even near the line. I also  
keep seeing [[WP:MYSPACE]] links in UCfDs that don't make any sense,  
regardless if the category should be deleted or not.
