A note on my wikipedia philosophy

Often I become discouraged by editors who suck the joy from content creation and instead seek to play petty mind games, manipulating the system and creating unnecessary conflict. The main reason I tend to keep contributing here are the many people I meet who really are here to help build the encyclopedia and the number of good apples outweighs the bad.

Some of the good guys (IMHO)

Bizarre Comments

[2] Apparently an online legal dictionary is a sovereign citizen's resource and therefore I am some kind of lunatic terrifying innocent wikipedians. I've had many bizarre comments over the years from Wikipedians, usually in an effort to avoid apologising for mistakes or personal attacks made against me. But man, this one made my jaw hit the floor. About time I started collecting these.

[3] I has sources but you can't see 'em. Some people when in a hole just keep digging.
