DW is on many ways an excellent contributor. It is a
pity that his
response
to users is bullying threatening language. We all on
occasion use strong
language in edit wars, etc (I know I have done so) but DW in the past and
Joe Canuck in the present seems to write nothing but accusations, ''how
dare
you?'' comments, and bullying hints at
recourse to law, etc. I think Jimbo
should have a word with him. No matter how polite someone is in talking to
him, his response is to verbally abuse them. Such contact should take
place
straight away. The more articles he contributes, the
more likely people
are
to contact him about things and the more likely he is
to spew bile back at
them. This needs to be stopped at the very start before it becomes a major
problem and drives away good users. That is particularly so when one
considers that there are users on wiki who are quite young or are retired
people who are doing their best to contribute in a non-aggressive manner
and
risk getting verbal bollockings from Canuck and being
intimidated by him
if
they simply ask him a question.

Yes, James -- and just as you eventually lightened up (somewhat :))- so too
may Canuck. ..... bless.
