SlimVirgin is not to blame for the imaginary failures of Wikipedia; she, and people like her are responsible for our real success. Scapegoating her gets us absolutely nowhere.

That may be true, but we look mighty odd when we react differently to 
scapegoating that relates to us than we do to scapegoating that relates 
to others. If someone famous scapegoats people, there's not really much 
we can do about it. Maybe Michael Moore shouldn't be making idiotic 
comments, but for better or worse he's famous and he does. We have 
plenty of his idiotic comments reported many of our articles, but it 
seems that when they're about *us* suddenly we get a lot more touchy. 
Which is a bit too self-referential for a neutral, descriptive encyclopedia.
