Last month one editor used userbox information to locate dozens of people who shared his religious persuasion in an overt attempt to destroy the consensual decision-making process of Wikipedia.
Was this editor successful? I get appeals on my user talk page for various things on a regular basis, and I treat them just like any other thing may have seen on rfc. Just because an editor is contacted doesn't mean they've signed on to the fight. I don't think such contacts are a good thing, but I'm not convinced they are, on the whole, successful at what they're trying to do.
