I've gotten some frantic "Talk" from RK claiming Ezra Wax is "vandalizing" the Wikipedia Judaism articls "faster than we can correct" them. He wants me to "ban" him.
I don't think I can do that. Isn't it true that as a sysop I have neither the power nor the authority to ban a signed-in user?
Anyway, I don't see the urgency. The contributor in question isn't malicious; he's just annoying the hell out of RK and Slrubenstein with his POV. It's not like he's using a bot.
RK is very quick in his accusations of "vandalism", and in calling people "anti-Semitic". His aggressive use of emotional loaded language doesn't make it easy for people to behave in a reasonable manner and come to a peaceful resolution.
If anything, I'd like to see RK sanctioned for a week or two, so he can cool off, and understand how offensive many find his current behavior.
