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.
