There's quite a stink going on about this [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikipedians_for_Decency]] and its ensuing VfD. I think the project is totally bogus and un-Wiki, but I'm interested in what some other people (Jimbo, although I somehow doubt he would want to go near this one) have to say about it.
Anyway, I pity the admin who closes that VfD.

Well I just blocked -Ril- for 24 hours for his edit warring there, repeatedly placing numerous pornographic images there in violation of [[WP:POINT]] but also, I would say, classifiable as vandalism. I don't know why he couldn't just wait until the VfD closed.
I'm not surprised. Not only is there an active RfC concerning him, but an open RfAr. His style of debate has been creating an unnecessary amount of dissatisfaction; it's likely a sign that he is one of these "brittle" contributors (to use the word from another thread).
Disclaimer: Yes, I have contributed material towards both. However, I learned of both by accident; there is no organized group out to get -Ril-, just an increasing number of people who have grown weary of him. And many of whom no longer care -- if they ever did -- that David has determined he is not a sockpuppet for Lir.
