Well, I dont think Srubenstein was whining.
"There is nothing I can do about it, but I do want to point out (and for
now, this is the only available venue) that I think this is an example of
a frivolous application of the rule," is a whine.
Oh please give it a rest, Tony. This man has raised some excellent points
about the implications of the 3RR that, whether you agree or not, are thought
provoking. Discussion has followed, and perhaps this might lead to some
fine-tuning. I hope so, as it sounds like he was doing nothing but helping
the article, and although it may have applied literally, it probably
shouldn't.
I'm sorry that it offends you and interferes with your advocacy of the
zero-tolerance approach to Wikipedia users (who, I should point out, are
voluntarily giving up their free time to help out with this project to create
a top-quality encyclopaedia and consequently deserve more than a little
appreciation).
Have a heart, and if you can't do that, at least accept that you've said your
piece.
Jake.
