My last edit to [[Mother Teresa]] was on October 21. It is now October 27. I have also abstained from editing other articles where Jtdirl is involved. I made a peace offer to him, trying to agree on some ground rules for editing the article and apologizing for any past offenses to him, on October 22. That offer has been ignored by Jtdirl. Instead, he has now opened a vote on whether the article is "POV" or "NPOV", with each voter who votes POV being a crown witness in his permanent attacks against me.
He does this even though I have already agreed to various modifications, including using a massive rewrite as a basis for the article. He continues attacking me on a personal level on the talk page, other users' talk pages and on the mailing list, while I have done nothing of the sort to him ever since my PO (and even before that, very little).
With the exception of Cimon avaro, no Wikipedian has challenged Jtdirl's behavior. When this happened for the first time, and I announced complaining to Jimbo about it, I was immediately attacked for "threatening" Jtdirl. I have proposed a policy to remove and refactor personal attacks. Currently there's a very slim majority in favor of it, but nothing close to consensus. Those opposing it say that this is an easy cop-out, that this behavior needs to be dealt with on a social level, with Wikipedians sending a clear signal to offenders that such behavior is not allowed.
Well, that hasn't happened.
If that continues, I will cease my active participation in this project. The principles of NPOV, Wikiquette and WikiLove have always fascinated me. But if these principles are not protected, the person who can shout the loudest eventually gets his way.
Jtdirl can shout very loudly. I don't want to shout.
I don't have energy for this, I don't have time for this, and frankly, real life is a lot more attractive.
In WikiLove,
