<br>I apologize to all decent editors, but I've decided to leave the English Misplaced Pages for indefinite. There's little room to do constructive edits and to realize one's potential when the whole project can be hijacked by a couple of mobs pushing their crazy political propaganda, combined with an unwillingness of moderate majority. And almost no one is willing to help, when one is being chased or harassed by a couple of jerks. This project could work if everyone would mainly work only within the areas of their knowledge, and only within the limits. But that's not the case. Recently, I tried to watch over certain articles to prevent from compromising the quality, yet, no one was willing to help. I'm not going to work under the mob rule. I finally see that the concept of "absolutely" free encyclopaedia doesn't work in reality, at least not under conditions as we have now, especially. If this project has ever some chance for success, it's openness will require sometimes radical reforms, sorry, that means not just looking how the bank account fattens, but looking into editors and their problems. If anybody wants to have my message in more detail, see ], who also decided to suspend his activities for the exact reasons. I'm just too tired to continue when I got to fight extreme nationalist and chauvinistic edits and to remove personal attacks and false accusations, with community just standing, not having any courage to do something. I will consider my return only in case something can be done to stop the "raging machine(s)", as shown by examples at the linked page. ] <sup>]/]</sup> 18:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)</center></div> |
