"Wikipedia-style consensus"
That's defined as:
Character-assassinate everybody who disagrees with your side of a dispute, by applying every label you think can possibly be made to stick, such as:
- Troll
- Single-purpose account
- Partisan of an attack site
- Sockpuppet
- Meatpuppet
- Seems to live in the same state as a banned user
- Was once warned about bad behavior by an admin
- Seems to have similar opinions to a banned user
- Has a low edit count
- Has too few edits in main article space; thus not a useful
contributor 11. Has too few edits outside main article space; thus not knowledgeable in policy and governance issues 12. Has mostly been fighting vandals; has no real experience making substantive edits 13. Hasn't been fighting vandals enough; has no familiarity with how pernicious and harmful they are, so their opinion on anything pertaining to this is suspect
Once all opposing views are successfully labeled, then claim a consensus because all remaining people agree.

oooh will you just drop it already. we get your point (and i for one agree with you) but it's getting on my nerves seeing you pop up all over the place with lots of irrelevant repetitive commentary about people you dont like.
