Can't fully agree. Unless you think there is no value at all in Wikipedia. (I happen to still think it's a useful tool for general research.)
Take for instance, someone like [[User:Baseball Bugs]] (currently at RfA) and your average "article writer". One's a dramawhore, and the other does actually add something of worth. People that spend their time on adminboards or rfa or stuff like that are just "playing the game".
While not perfect, it's the article writers that maintain some value to Wikipedia. If the numbers of "Article writers" and "adminboard dramawhores" were reversed, I think Wikipedia would be a much better place. IMO, they have a right to be self-righteous and condescending to those that can't write an article.
