Yes, comparing a 24 hour block to the Stasi would be rhetorically 
excessive.  But that's not actually what I did; I observed that "Zero 
tolerance; shoot on sight" seemed more akin to the Stasi than to 
Wikipedia.  You were the one who initiated the use of overblown 
violent rhetoric when you said to "shoot on sight"... done ironically 
in a context of wanting to bring back a state of "wikilove".

Am I one of those you think should go away and find a different 
hobby?
