Having looked deeper into what [[User:Mckennagene ]] has been talking 
about, I don't think that's correct on either count. The vandal problem 
hasn't gone away: admins deal with those vandals we have more harshly in 
the past (and no one cares).

And the cited complaint piece is pretty misleading in its way. The 
[[Kettlebowl]] article would have been a useful addition to [[Bryant, 
Wisconsin]] (which isn't much to look at); the comment on creation "one 
of the most significant activities in the Antigo, WI area" is pretty odd 
when a link was created in [[Antigo, Wisconsin]] and not in [[Bryant, 
Wisconsin]]. With directions for how to get there from Antigo by bus.

Whatever User:Mckennagene has said, this is promotional (aimed at people 
in the county town). Further, [[Talk:Kettlebowl]] shows no signs at all 
of bullying: discussion of notability, of the geographic feature of the 
hill being encyclopedic while a small skiing area may not be.

It is certainly a weakness of our discussions that a single instance is 
so often taken as indicative of something people want to believe.
