which seems to have been accepted without question.
Great! The difference between Primetime and Zephram Stark is that someone came to en.wikibooks and explained what the trouble was with Primetime.

Blocking Zephram Stark from Wikibooks before he causes trouble is more or less a no-brainer.
This is like saying "the ocean exists" to someone who does not live near the coast.
Except that unlike the ocean, [[User:Zephram Stark]] is not famous. I knew this user only as a Wikibooks user with a blocked account on Wikimedia Commons (knowing not much about the trouble on Commons). I do not go visit Wikinews, Wikipedia, Wikiquote, Wikispecies, Wiktionary and learn the names of all the users who are having infinite blocks. This is good, because that means that all those annoying users who need infinite blocks are not distracting me, nor are they successful in stealing my attention.
So for those who say that it is obvious to block this user, I respond, "Why?"
