Cabal
Face it, there's a w:cabal here. Notable members include those who call themselves the Wikipedia:Volunteer fire department, but are actually just intent on enforcing their own views, without any trace of consultative process.
Their rallying cry is this unimplementable concept of neutral point of view, which has no meaning other than a w:war of attrition until the wiser of the individuals participating leaves in disgust, leaving the more persistent idiot to finish off the article. Wikipedia is probably doomed if this continues, and will likely resemble the "fr." version en francais, which has been taken over by a more honest cabal.
Notable evidence of a cabal is lack of participation on meta site, no discussion of more detailed access to usage logs, and Wales' taking positions on issues like offensive usernames while his cabal rationalizes it as if it were really a community decision.
