I hadn't had time to read ANI for the last 3 days, and just went and started catching up.

It's not just me; everyone's pissed off and behaving badly right now.

We should put en.wikipedia on a one-week cooldown edit freeze....

No that is just normal WP:AN/I.

No, it's not.

It's been worse, but it's pretty bad right now.

Longtime experienced contributors / admins are going at it with each other over what are fundamentally pretty trivial incidents.

Meh. WikiDefcon 2, enhanced drama likely. Normal service will be resumed when the kids get back to school and we can go back to deleting their crap.

They have gone back to school.

with any of the articles I've been editing in that time period. Why should editing be locked down for me? Just lock down ANI if there's a problem there.

Sounds like a plan, to me; when the endless flamewars at AN/I get old, it's nice to remember that they all just *go away* when you stop paying attention to them. Which, more often than not, is a perfectly adequate solution. If people would just let petty things slide, a little more often, the wiki would probably run a lot more smoothly.

But that's just my thought, as somebody who isn't terribly fond of heated arguments.
