I've held off on sharing this story with this mailling list because I feel that in telling it, it should have a moral or a lesson -- but I'm not smart enough to point to it. Except to belabor the obvious point that Wiki communities aren't as self-regulating as people think they are.
Moral: any community run entirely on good will can be permanently damaged by a short but serious bout of ill will?
Now that I've had some time to ponder this, how about "small Wikis have many of the same problems as big Wikis" or "Wikipedia is not unique, despite what many people think."
