You'd have thought that would be the argument: Wikipedia is a working 
environment, and those who cause the environment to deteriorate are on a 
warning. That's where things had got to a couple of years ago, and no 
progress has been made since then. In fact there are brownie points to 
be had in some cases by people who completely disregard all of that.
