The vandal problem hasn't gone away: admins deal
with those vandals
we have more harshly in the past (and no one cares).
Is that, or is that not a good thing? I honestly, sincerely ask this
question not out of spite, but of curiosity.

Having looked deeper into what [[User:Mckennagene ]] has been talking
about, I don't think that's correct on either count. The vandal
problem
hasn't gone away: admins deal with those vandals we have more

And the cited complaint piece is pretty misleading in its way. The
[[Kettlebowl]] article would have been a useful addition to [[Bryant,
Wisconsin]] (which isn't much to look at); the comment on creation
"one
of the most significant activities in the Antigo, WI area" is pretty
odd
when a link was created in [[Antigo, Wisconsin]] and not in [[Bryant,
Wisconsin]]. With directions for how to get there from Antigo by bus.
Whatever User:Mckennagene has said, this is promotional (aimed at
people
in the county town). Further, [[Talk:Kettlebowl]] shows no signs at
all
of bullying: discussion of notability, of the geographic feature of
the
hill being encyclopedic while a small skiing area may not be.
It is certainly a weakness of our discussions that a single instance
is
so often taken as indicative of something people want to believe.
