I realize it's written out of frustration, but you really have to appreciate much more how difficult it is to "kick out" people. You do know that Lir is still around, right? How many times did we block the guy? The fact that problem users become invisible in terms of traceable identities doesn't make them go away. It makes the problem worse. And you also remember User:Michael, I'm sure. I think that experiment is generally considered to be successful?
I am not talking about trolls and problem users in this case, though. I am talking about bad editors, editors who don't stop to think that reverting someone who is trying to remove libel about themselves is a horribly stupid thing to do.
Unless we want to radically reduce that level of openness, we need to stick to our usual patience in dealing with problem users.
Right, and I do not think we have a problem with that.
