And then you get people who'll insist that an article MUST remain the way it is simply because its subject doesn't want it to.
Such people should be beaten hard with the nearest available cluebat.
Moderation in all things.
Ok you are right. Such people should be beaten _moderately_ with the nearest available cluebat. ;-)
What kind of statement is this? Are you joking or are you serious?
Oh the irony of being ask whether a pair of silly sentences containing the word 'cluebat' is a joke or not.
/me looks for his cluebat.
Oh, now I get it, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I'm so sorry, it's just that I have been out of school for so long I guess... s-e-t-t-i-n-g e-x-a-m-p-l-e m-a-t-u-r-i-t-y

Do you ... actually *contribute* to Wikipedia? The image you present here is of someone who stumbled across Wikipedia, started editing articles in a manner that conflicted with our neutrality policy without really knowing what on Earth you were doing, got pissed off (still without learning what was going on), showed up on the mailing list repeatedly asking the same ignorant question (and, when it was answered, repeatedly, still failed to understand anything), and has since just hung around like a bad smell, occasionally sallying forth to spray mucus onto the list and pretend it has any value.
Please, mate, *try* editing Wikipedia. *Try* getting along with other people. *Try* working out how our core policies interact and how we work to write the encyclopaedia. You might just find, if you're willing to put in the effort, that you actually like it. And if you don't ... well, what are you doing here?

Correct. Well done. Lesson 2: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. Regardez, ecoutez et répétez...

Hm. When I was younger, if we made a spelling mistake, the teacher would stop, drag us up to the board and make us copy out the correct spelling three times.
Perhaps ArbCom could begin adopting this as a remedy?
