I shudder to
contemplate what Mr. Goodman wants for Wikipedia. If a pack of
dogs fall on someone after he and his ilk are in control, I guess
we will simply be obligated to stand by and do nothing.
The "pack of dogs" I see is the clique that's pushing the link ban,
and ganging up on anybody who doesn't go along with it (such as, for
instance, torpedoing their RfA nominations). You're one of the big
dogs in that pack. It's precisely because I believe in standing up
to bullies that I'm opposing you on this.
But what exactly are you opposing? The original decision made in MONGO which applies to
the one drama site, or the attempts to make a general policy out of the principles
expressed?
The only link ban I push is the one remedy in MONGO which applies only to ED. I would
discourage attempts to broaden that to most other critical sites.
