I keep this page around for sentimental reasons. I don't really believe it anymore

| While I choose to edit Wikipedia because I enjoy the basic way of doing things, I despise the way it is run. Too often the word of the policies are taken over the spirit of the policy, consensus is ignored, and editors get too caught up in their own edit-count fueled egos to remember why we are here. We are here to write an encyclopedia. We are not here to be nice to vandals, trolls, or well-meaning but stubborn idiots who refuse to listen to advice. Those of us who haven't completely wasted our lives to get over 10,000 edits are not here to be ignored by egotistical editors who think that they own any article they have ever commented on even though we have the consensus. This encyclopedia is free because it has been written by egotistical nutjobs who ignore the facts because they don't like them, and consider you a horrible monster if you skip warning number three when dealing with a vandal saying that "you aren't assuming good faith". Wikipedia has degenerated from a consensus based community into a community where those with high edit counts decide what the "consensus" was, and twist the word of the policies to fit their goals no matter what the spirit of the policy is. The consensus driven community died long before I came here, and the charade continues with no apparent solutions. |
