However, to quote User:Grutness: I'm "largely uninvolved in Wikipedia these days, owing to the over-officiousness of several users who have made this site no longer the enjoyable place it used to be. Whereas at one time it was a case of two steps forward, one step back - manageable, but annoying - it is now clearly one step forward, four or five steps back, with accompanying bitching, zealousness and self-glorifying bossiness. This is not what the site should be - it should be a community, with emphasis on the CO-, meaning together. I still contribute here occasionally, but no longer with much of the joy I once had in taking part in what was an effective and wonderful experiment."

Word. Couldn't have put it better (or as polite :lol: ).
