wars",
while people on the
other side can get away with almost anything. That doesn't seem fair to me.

This should be a working list for the encyclopedia. We have zero
future possible wonderful posts to gain from welcoming these people to
wikien-l, and they really aren't welcome. Saying that "her crappiness
wasn't on the list itself in those few posts" doesn't somehow
constitute a technical foul that means she must be let back on. The
reason you hear from me so much is that most of the mods don't even
read the list any more because it's such a pointless sewer; I'd like
to make it not one, rather than just shut down the list (which is also
possible).
