Chilling Atmosphere

I've run into admins who are jerks too. I think the jerkiness of those who are "in" drive out the newbies, and less active editors. I've done quite a bit of work on Wikipedia, and over the last couple of years, it has become way more common to attract jerks with "authority" who just beat on you for minor issues. It makes me less likely to want to participate. I think the rigidity of the admins is a major factor that drives people away. KellyCoinGuy 21:06, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
