[edit] Nota bene

This contributor once decided to leave for good as a protest against the rude, arrogant and menacing behaviours of some Wikipedia photo-editors. They seem perfectly to exemplify the notions of those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. The rigidity of thought as I have witnessed of these individuals is ultimately bound to leave no choice for those contributors who value their dignity above all else but to leave Wikipedia, as I have with great sadness decided to do.

We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,

But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,

With an alien people clutching their gods.

I should be glad of another death.

(T.S. Eliot, Journey of the Magi)

Since I reunited Wikipedia sometimes ago, I met one excellent editor to whom the above remarks do not apply and to whom I offer my sincere apologies for the offence that these remarks must necessarily give rise to. The goodness of this editor was unfortunately overcompensated by meeting some "usual" contributors to whom the following applies:

"Fall'n Cherub, to be weak is miserable

Doing or suffering; but of this be sure,

To do aught good never will be our task,

But ever to do ill our sole delight,

As ..."

(John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book I)
