I don't really care about the wiki. It's about respect.

An excellent argument for PhilGoetz not having any ability to edit the wiki.

An excellent example of taking a quote out of context.

The context was about editing the wiki. If you have a complaint that stems from editing behavior on the wiki, and it comes to be known that you don't really care about the wiki, then I don't need to read any further; I've located the problem.

And in general, if you care more about something like respect than doing a good job, then you shouldn't have that job anymore. Even (especially?) if you were doing it for free. Your ego has no place in our wiki. Well, it has one place.
