So, if Wikipedia's admin corps had an equal representation from autists on both sides of that political spectrum, it would probably help balance things out a little.
That will never happen. Insiders would rather crash it into the ground before risking the loss of any "power" they already have. Nearly identical shit happens on Reddit every day. (Seen r/moscow lately? It was hijacked by pro-Ukraine types recently.)

How can anyone tell from screen name alone who and who doesn't have autisim? What I think is actually going on are just power hungry guys and gals that don't have anything meaningful going on in their real life.

I think that any user who can’t behave civilly towards other users should barred from editing in general.
"Globally banned" since September 5, 2023 for exposing harassment.
