Retired This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.I publish essays on meta and edit Misplaced Pages for the sake of contributing to Veropedia. That's all. Misplaced Pages is a mess for various reasons described in WP:FAIL and Criticism of Misplaced Pages. Citizendium is just as bad (if not worse) because its closed system is annoying (the verification system is ridiculously tedious), the idea of "family friendliness" is stupid, very little content is generated there, and what content is generated isn't all that great.
If you're an intelligent person and you're reading this: Quit Misplaced Pages right now. The zombies will eat you sooner or later. Misplaced Pages is serious business and to quote one admin I spoke with, "It's a risky game, being provocative." Misplaced Pages is about as reliable as an elementary school student's english report, which is why even elementary school teachers have been forbidding its use.
Attempting to resolve this issue in the mainspace will lead you to either be ignored by pov-pushing trolls if you respect 3RR and blocked by sysops if you ignore 3RR, per WP:IAR. Attempting to resolve this issue in the Misplaced Pages space, such as through writing essays and reforming policy, will lead to censorship of "offensive" essays and attempts at building consensus around policy reform will be stifled by a minority of irrational editors, who own the policy pages. If you do either of these things, you will be stalked by regular users and sysops, who will follow you around, from page-to-page, just waiting until they can find the evidence they need to get you blocked indefinitely.
It's really a shame that this project acts more as a soapbox for human ignorance than a compendium of human knowledge, but unfortunately, there's nothing you can do. Nobody will listen to you and nobody cares about you or your opinions, though they pretend to and seem to falsely believe they do.

For everyone else: Leave me alone and I will leave you alone. To quote User:Shii, "I only want to fix articles with mistakes on them, and I hope people will leave me alone and let me do that. The Misplaced Pages community is dead to me." Does that sound fair?
