The problem here is ironic. We let trolls go on a bit
too much. Then
someone like Wik sticks his neck out to fight them, but *also* in the
process makes himself extremely annoying to other users. If we had
already gotten rid of the original problem users, then maybe Wik
wouldn't have felt compelled to behave badly.
I think you're absolutely right. Wik appears to have become so used to dealing with
real vandals, that he seems to see anyone who disagrees with him as a vandal. As for your
quickpoll proposal, we should try it and see. It's the only way of finding out if it
has merit.
