With almost 3 million Wikipedia articles, I suspect thousands are vandalized each day. Many vandals are reverted by bots, many others by editors.

Heh, yeah. There must be a relevant movie scene here, where a handcuffed criminal says to the police officer, "you know, I'd love to wash your car, but you'll have to take these off me" or something.
People like "private musings" are far more interested in discussing their bans or philosophising about banning in general than they are in actually doing work.
PM>it was a bit weird to be unsure of what I should do for the couple of hours I was aware of it, and it was publicly visible.
Picture a police officer who has been fired for poor behaviour. The next day he spots a crime on the street. What does he do? Nothing. It's not your problem anymore, PM.
