I proposed that the community be able to soft-ban any pair of partisans from editing an article. It got zero airplay whatsoever, and even Louis (whoever he really is) went and turned the /article ban page into a redirect. The ban idea would make both people happy I think -- keep each others hands out of the article --which in this case JT was not gracious enough to do.
Sad, isn't it? I guess Jtdirl has to get it out of his system every so often.
Yes.
With the exception of Cimon avaro, no Wikipedian
has challenged Jtdirl's
behavior.
Huh? Irish Potatoes?
You didn't announce complaining to Jimbo. You said you wanted him to be banned. There have been failures of tone on all sides. One important difference is that you tried apologizing.
Yes --but I thought we established it a long time ago -- Erik was just letting off steam, which was in terms of bright ideas, inline with Antheres and LD's "experimental accounts," or with my threatening to ban Jesus is Lord! if he didnt change his name (as the community had voted). All of these bad ideas come from the notion that time and energy can be saved if only a bit more force were applied. Well -- Vietnam 2 is going on on the other side of the planet, and I suppose its not too unusual for humans to make things worse by applying violence.
