The beautiful thing about Wikipedia is that no two users are obligated
to interact with each other, and it's big enough that accidental
confrontations can usually be avoided. That having been said, as long
as there are people who are able to "play well" with those who don't
generally "play well" with others, said "disaster" can often be
averted.
