Sometimes a little harsh action can go a long way in teaching.
I feel the same way, but I think that reverts arent so much as "harsh action" as they are "incivil inaction." Thats a big difference IMHO.

To exhaustively, regimentedly cite every well-known fact in every article would be ugly, unwieldy, and overbearing. But it's equally obvious that, the bigger and more popular Wikipedia gets, the harder it is to rely on "obvious" or "ought to" rules which depend on people being reasonable.
So are you saying AGF (a subpolicy of CIVIL, (predecessor too, actually)) is out the window too?

I do agree by and large that WP:V and WP:CITE can be used as clubs to beat one's opponents with. That's the problem with rules and policies.
Do you agree then that 'beating one's opponents with a club' violates WP:CIVIL?
-SV : Wikipedia:Policy difecta : "If its not NPOV or CIVIL, is crap."
