I think there is something worthwhile being expressed here in Tamzin's poem about content work vs. drama boards, and human nature seen through the prism of Wikipedia collaboration.

It's worth noting that Wikipedia can easily lead to an unduly jaundiced view of human nature. Sometimes, it magnifies flaws and hides redeeming features that would be readily apparent if one sat around a table.

Long story cut short: I enjoyed the poem and hope I have understood at least part of what it was about. --Andreas JN466 19:20, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Funny, @Andreas, I almost started this with an epigraph about jaundice, the same line I quote at User:Tamzin/Disclosures and commitments § Blocks, and what we can learn from them. Instead I decided I'd let the poem speak for itself. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 19:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

What a feat, adding spots to the liars without dripping ink on the lies! :) -- SashiRolls ^{🌿 · 🍥} 14:52, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
