Not true. Wik, who is quite popular and generally considered a valuable contributor, is in a world of hurt, to the point we will be lucky to get him back after the latest slap on the wrist. The point is, consistent aggressiveness will eventually break so many "rules" that even the most conservative arbitrators will feel moved to support some remedy. Wik is also a good example of why is not a good practice to decide on your own that certain other editors are not worth paying attention to. It was the dummies and outcasts that dragged him down, folks he didn't think it worthwhile to discuss controversies with. His free pass didn't.

Would that were true. But should you step on the toes of certain editors, you would be auto-reverted over and over again if you even tried to so much as change a comma, and the person doing all the reverting would be allowed to get away with it without so much as a slap on the wrist because "they're a valuable contributor."
