This page in a nutshell: Editors have been known to annoy another editor or admin, for having the audacity to actually work toward building an encyclopedia, not being cogs in a bureaucracy, playing a MMORPG, arguing on a webboard, or making pals on a social networking site. Some editors really treat their time here as public-interest volunteer work, not a political sim, and this obviously just will not do.

Rouge editors (also known as rouge users or rouge non-admins)^[1] are a cabal of editors, governed by the Five Pillars of Untruth, who stand in the way of what must surely be Wikipedia's true purpose, which is to make up, catalogue, and enforce as many obscure rules as possible, then brow-beat any so-called "intelligent" contributors mercilessly to conform and grovel, until they give up in disgust and leave the project to its proper, good-old-boys'-club echo chamber. No rouge editor has ever seen anything posted on Uncyclopedia.
