We could add some examples to [[Wikipedia:No personal
attacks]]. We
had a big talk here about "moron." If you want trouble with someone
who is little slow, just call em a moron and see what it gets you.
Nazi is a little easier case, but we still have Wikipedia users who
think they can throw the word around and make it stick, see for
example the current Arbitration case
[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Mlorrey/
I never called anyone a moron or anything similar though, why are you
even using that as an example? It seems you're only intent on
misleading everyone into thinking I did things that I didn't.
Proposed_decision#Advocacy_by_Mlorrey]]. Hypocrite is
a bit more
difficult -- how do you say nicely that an editor is applying one
standard to himself and another to others. I guess you have to spell
out the behavior, giving examples. Maybe some talk about how to do
that on Wikipedia:No personal attacks, about adequately communicating
about what is bothering you rather than resorting to invidious labels.
There's no policy on Wikipedia saying you have to be Mr. Nice Guy.
Whenever I make an accusation like hypocrite, I always explain why I'm
giving that accusation. So this doesn't make any sense at all, you're
saying I'm allowed to do it with explanation, but that's exactly what
I was banned for doing.
So let me get this straight about the real policy: if you're in favor
with the admins and you make an accusation of hypocrisy with an
accusation, it's ok, but if you're not, you get banned. Gotcha.
