As a victim of his attacks I sympathize however this continuing thread boosts his ego which is the opposite of what you seek to do. Gwarp is neither the most destructive nor most notable vandal wikipedia has faced. I am not going to repeat the cliché by asking you to ignore him so that he gets bored. But I think you should probably discuss the topic more generally. For example a discussion on RL actions against vandals in general.

Because we're tired of his attacks and threats and we are trying to do something IRL to stop him?

Why is Grawp still being discussed? Although I am not a fan of WP:DENY, this is even bothering me....

I get the feeling Grawp isn't expecting us to do anything off-wiki. If the victims call the police, it would at the very least (unless I'm wrong, which is always possible) surprise him, possibly awaken his mom/guardian to the reality of the situation, and probably turn this from a "game" in his mind into an exchange with very real people. OTOH, he might just laugh at us for overreacting... but at least that way he'll get more careful, meaning no more death threats (on-wiki at least, if he gets abusive via email the victims can employ filtering, if he gets abusive on IRC the chanops can ban him etc.) and less vandalism (maybe). We should probably complain to <insert government official | insert journalist> that Verizon is being oh-so-useless right now...

so are we calling the police or not?
No, "we" aren't; it's up to the people who have been targets of death,
rape
and violence threats and whose children have been threatened with rape
and
murder to decide for themselves if they want to take that step or not. I would personally support people who wanted to do so and I hope the Foundation would, too, but it's a decision those people have to make for themselves. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
