I've seen this kind of intriguingly rude behaviour on several wikis, but not at all in another project of mine, where e-mail is the primary form of communication. Maybe the offender thinks he is talking to a machine, just like he would kick a soda vending machine or hit a television set that loses sync. Could we make wikis look more like a community of real people? How?
I suspect this is the sort of person who thinks it's all ones and zeroes and if it's on the Internet it doesn't count as interaction with real people.
