Some time ago this list decided that it was totally inapproproate to create Wikipedia webpages criticising Wikipedia contributors.

The purpose of Wikipedia is to create an open-course encyclopedia. Disputes are to be brought to the attention of this list, or to the designated mediators.

However, Martin (MyRedDice) is starting again the same process that led to EntmootsOfTrolls being banned, namely the setting up of webpages designed to harss a Wikipedia user. Unless policy has been changed, this action is forbidden.

If you allow Martin to do this, there will be no end to number of hateful webpages that will sprout up on Wikipedia, whenever people disagree.

We can solve things through mediation, like I have been trying to advocate, or we can use outright censorship (by wiping out articles like Martin keeps doing) and creating harassment-pages (like Martin is doing and EntmootOfTrolls kept doing). I cannot understand why the former option is not preferable.
