This user finds the rule-infested inferno of English Wikipedia despicable. You literally cannot do anything here anymore without some know-it-all rule-maniac throwing an obscure abbreviation at you. This place used to be a place where people could facilitate the growth of knowledge. Now it's just a neverending, ever-growing cobweb of sub-sub-sub-sub rules that you need to know by heart if you want to even replace a comma in an article. You spend hours, days, improving articles, all that to be reverted by some fall-in "patroller" throwing a "rule" at you, that you can otherwise debate the validity of. Especially with articles that need attention of people who actually know something about a topic, its notability and special features, these general rule-throwers are incredible annoyance. It has taken away from the joy of editing.
