You already know this, so I'm really pointing it out for the benefit of 
other readers who may not fully understand the true horror that is 
Wikipedia.

The vast majority of admins, with the obvious exception of The Cunctator 
and MarkGallagher, both of whom are good chaps, do very little but plot 
and scheme for ways to abuse their power.  In fact, just the other day I 
overheard Stephen Bain plotting on IRC to make article creation banned 
for all users who aren't Bureaucrats, just because he thought he could 
get away with it.  John Lee asked him not to, because the increased 
scrutiny it would bring would interfere with his plan to force all 
en-wiki editors to switch to Malaysian English.  This was just minutes 
after David Gerard murdered Jimbo Wales' appointed successor with an 
icepick.

And does anyone remember SlimVirgin's dastardly plan to hand the keys to 
Wikipedia over to the animal rights lobby?


With all this skulduggery, it's a wonder admins get any time to actually 
work on the encyclopaedia.  Oh, wait ... isn't that a common complaint, 
that admins never get time to edit?  I ... I see it all so clearly ... 
and now ... I think my life may be in danger.

By the time you read this, I may well be dead.  If my bloated corpse 
turns up in the Molongolo River, somebody please block Jeff Raymond for 
me for no good reason.  And for heaven's sake, Kurt, get yourself to a 
place of safety.  You could be next!


Cheers,
