Politician isn't the right word, but it's the first word that comes to mind..

I'm getting really tired of the TED intro video.

You don't need an office for office politics. It is all innocent enough. I tried to contribute in areas I knew of, including public information about my family. Some felt I was a shameless self promoter and took it upon themselves to examine anything I posted, removing it on pretexts that were vastly inflated. It is a learning experience, and they were right on some counts. But also frustrating.

Who is opposing you? And why exactly are you being opposed?

I love wiki. I also am very frustrated by it. Sadly, I cannot contribute without being opposed.
