Agreed. On

encourages all sorts of disrespect in the community. I get the attempt
at humor. I just prefer humor that does not depend on ridicule and
denigration, which I find unhealthy for the sender at least as well as
unhealthy for the receiver of such disregard. Result? Banned. Ouch!
That seems a bit off-topic for the MediaWiki site, which is about the
wiki software, and is entirely distinct from the Meta Wikimedia site
(which is about Wikimedia projects in general). If you object to
something on a
meta.wikimedia.org page, you should object at
meta.wikimedia.org, not at
mediawiki.org.
