I don't know of any that young. The ones I know range in age from 19 to 30. I think a lot are college age.
If they stop making fun of Wikipedians, it'll be because they decide we're cool after all, not because we declare war on them and somehow win.
I *so* don't care whether 14-year-olds think I'm cool or not.
Then you're contributing to a conversation about "how to stop" them... for what reason? You're making a point here? Are you advocating anything I'm not? You think we shouldn't ignore them? You think we should go ahead and generate lots of drama in some kind of wiki-war?
I find your reply puzzling.
