Don't put words in my mouth, Pete. "Commons is broken" is a Jimmy Wales quote.
It's something many people have said, and I do apologize for my mistake -- I thought you were one of them. I am very happy to learn that I was wrong about that, and appreciate the clarification.
I do think Commons has some ways to go, though,
Agree 100%. This is something I work on, if not every day, probably every week. I do think that progress is being made, on adult material and in many other areas. But you're right, there's lots of work to do in developing a a shared understanding of what issues are at play and how to go about addressing them. The point of I'm trying to make in this discussion is, we do a lot more good by focusing on what's working, and then expanding on that, than we do by getting all accusatory about the things that are *not* working. (And such accusations often seem to be accompanied by an unjustified assumption that the bad somehow outweighs the good.)
