What's also interesting, though, is that Jonas knows JB196's real name even though the long term abuse page doesn't list it.
The name in question certainly tends to be shouted from rooftops for no apparent reason. I can only speak for myself with certainty (and then only sometimes) but I suspect most people know which name is associated with this user long before bothering to read about the nature of his edits or why he was banned.
But it's on my to-do list.
Life is too short for this.
Yeah. I didn't say it was near the top. Somewhere south of advancing [[The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock in popular culture]] to featured status, more like.
At the end of most days, most people will take most people's word for it. This is a strength and a weakness of unregulated growth. It's about like living in a big city, you won't know anything about anyone except what they tell you and read on the subway walls, neither of which should be taken seriously.
Ok, I've never been on a damn subway but you get the point.
