I think it would be better to drop, or tone down the bit about: "But stay away if your actions are in any way motivated by a certain interest, or worse, a social agenda."
We want expert editors and that's not possible if they are being pushed away. Maybe consider re-writing it to promote the idea that editor training/on-line help should address the barrier of how to write from a neutral point of view, even if your motivation is as an activist. P.S. I speak from the experience of getting banned when trying to do something about LGBT content and being naive about how best to handle on-line harassment (which you cannot call "sexist" or "homophobic" on Wikipedia, even when in any other forum it would be considered blatantly so, without that bouncing back on you as bad faith).
