[Wikipedia-l] I'm seeing a trend here or How to keep driving away good contributors

[Poor, Edmund W]

Well, that's what Jimbo and Cunctator are saying. 
 
I don't like that, but it's Jimmy's living room and if I want to enjoy free drinks at his party I have to follow his rules.
 
It's just that this month's party has so many guests that I think Jimmy should deputize a few bouncers -- with written guidelines as to what's okay and what's not. I don't want to have to keep running to some fat old bald guy everytime someone on the guest list starts knocking drinks out of the other guests' hands.
 
A bit heavy on the metaphor, but I think that about sums it up.

So we just let the obnoxious ones run roughshod over all of the work and ignore their ridiculous changes?
