Since the statement you attribute to me has absolutely no resemblance to
anything I actually wrote, it's clear that you are only seeking to fan
the partisan flames here. We could be having a rational discussion about
ways to protect Wikipedia from the on-going damage it is suffering, but
instead you're just pulling out the "falsely attribute an absurd
position to him, then ridicule that position he never took" straw man.
