Hmmm,
Is that the fourth or the fifth wiki you are now indeffed from ? ;-) (I was looking up your illustrious history while chatting with you, and I admit I lost count somewhere along the way :-P [*])
Checking up on the nl.wikipedia discussions you had, I do agree that the environment turned toxic pretty quickly ... once you started throwing around insults like confetti. ;-)
You were trying to get indeffed on purpose, right!? Only sane explanation.
Wikis are like pokemon, gotta get indeffed from them all!
sincerely, Kim Bruning

Michel,
I agree the atmosphere there is extremely toxic.
For the record, I have now been indefinitely blocked on Dutch Wikipedia for raising serious concerns on Commons about one of their clique. Concerns which involved incontrovertible evidence that they have been accessing materials on Commons which was deleted due to privacy concerns and then passed around to others who wouldn't otherwise have that access.
The unfunny part about it all, is that this only came to light after I publicly told MoiraMoira that given it was me who deleted privacy related images on Commons as they related to her, she should have more understanding on issues when subjects of articles have complaints about images of themselves. It then lead to that evidence being provided to me within minutes. The person who provided me the evidence has also been indefinitely blocked on Dutch Wikipedia, ostensibly for providing me with the evidence which included the person's first name -- a first name that was well known to me by way of discussion many years ago when we "introduced" ourselves privately on IRC.
So, I agree wholeheartedly about their abusive and toxic environment, and don't really take any notice to those on there who call me a troll, for it is those people on Dutch Wikipedia who are playing unacceptable games in outright violation of the WMF Board resolution. They think they are punishing me, they are not; they are punishing the subject of the article.
Regards,
Russavia

Quick and easy: don't bother with the Dutch Wikipedia. It is one of the more toxic environments on the internet. :)
