I actually agree with you 110%. I do believe RW's content is read fairly widely. Our activity goes up and up, we have some really fucking good stuff on this site. Really, I think the mainspace has its moments of brilliance and the fact that the essay space and talk pages provide a great dynamic for discussion makes RW an awesome resource for the skeptical community to have.

But it's perhaps because of this I'm just being a douche - see WP:POINT for instance. I think I care too much and don't want to see us forever being known as "that website about Conservpaieda". It makes me physically boil with rage that a few people who love to suck on the teat of that website and the clowns who run it want to ruin the entire image of RW with it and by doing so shit on the collective efforts of anyone who has ever written an article, an essay, learned something new, collected references, made a diagram, built a gadget, organised a category, designed a template, corrected spelling, fact checked... the list goes on. And the people who do this I hold in high regard.

Unfortunately, this admiration I have for certain people then gets clouded by the fact that I'm human and so will blow up if prodded the right way. I have buttons as much as the next person. This doesn't give an excuse for dicking about, but hell no one ever needs a reason for being a dick; because there is no acceptable reason, it's just something people do. Fortunately I have some ability to recognise when I'm doing this (it's developing slowly) so I'm stopping it now before I turn into one of those people who tell others to "fuck off and die" over something as trivial as editing a website that's designed to be edited and that can be undone (the horror!). Wait, that's bordering on sarcastic twattery again... I can't win, can I?
