Throughout life, any policy of judging people by their
success in working well with others, is a blank cheque
for bullying and for it to win.
You know, this is the first intelligent thing I've seen you say.
However, it's still pretty much indispensible for a project like
Wikipedia, whatever its drawbacks. And considering the relatively high
level of tolerance Wikipedia has shown to social outcasts up to and
including Nazis and pedophiles, I really, really think you need to give
your head a shake if you think Wikipedia is especially bad in this regard.
If the mob for its own
reasons agrees not to work well with a targetted
individual, the solitary victim gets the blame.
Bullypedia proved conclusively.
This word, "prove", you use it so much. I do not think it means what you
think it means.
and
"In the cases where multiple parties violate the
rule, sysops should treat all sides equally."
Wow, isn't this a revelation, after all the admin
voices here who have denied there is any obligation to
equality and said "You are not entitled to anything",
and after my political purging was directly for the
offence of arguing that any entitlements to equality exist.
And now you're right back to the sort of behaviour that contributed to
getting you perma-blocked... quoting out of context, crying victim at
every turn, accusing your opponents of some bizarre political agenda (as
opposed to asking you - in some cases far more nicely than you deserved
- to remove blatantly non-neutral material and cite sources, which is
what actually happened), lying your ass off about what Wikipedia's
policies are...
