....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,

I think your perception is somewhat distorted due to your over-involvement in this particular issue, an issue I haven't had a lot of interest in or time for although I do believe you over-emphasised the negative aspects in your article. As to Jtdirl I have had experience with him, been denounced as a right wing bigot, etc and certainly would support banning him for ugly behavior despite being right on Mother Teresa.
