"...the advantage of shock value, which commands attention."


True... but it may (and often does) command a less helpful type of
attention. And encourages a trend.

If that was a sensible way to interact with people we felt were trolling,
then WP:NPA would probably read "Personal insults are allowed if it is
necessary in the user's view to command attention." 

It doesn't.

We don't have a problem expecting newcomers and experienced editors alike to
all be civil on wiki regardless of provocation, and regardless how they are
off it. 

We do so because we deem this helpful and constructive, *whatever* our view
(good or bad) of the recipient.


FT2.
