On the other hand, the degree of external scrutiny of
the site is
vastly increased, and this has led to some jittery times. I
recommend editing articles. Really, it all makes more sense if you
look at the working enviroment in terms of the work.
The external scrutiny seems to have led to a "bunker mentality" among
some of the dominant personalities on Wikipedia, where they think the
sky is falling and insist that we all need to circle our wagons
against the outside attackers, and anybody not supporting them is
supporting The Terrorists.

I must admit I have never seen any positive contribution to either the mailing list or
policy discussions on Wikipedia from you. It's like you live in an abstract world
where our practical problems are not known.
