I think you could benefit from trying to write an NPOV description 
of what the problem is, that you're trying to fix.  The 
oversimplified view that "meta is horrible" is apparently not 
shared by everybody.  You're too fast to your conclusions and the 
community cannot keep up with you at that pace.

For me meta is an archive of old ideas, some implemented, others 
not, with the arguments for and against.  Six months ago I 
organized the [[category:books]], which was very useful to me. The 
way you summarize your frustration, I cannot know if you think 
that my work was all rubbish, or if it could be allowed to stay. 
Should I support your initiative, or try to stop it? I don't know.
