Vandalism is something different -- vandalism is destroying cities by building road where drivers are "free" to drive fast and killing children (we Germans are great in this sport ;-((( ). Or vandalism is spoiling oceans with oil.
Gak. Now an *anti*-banning person doesn't know what "vandalism" means. These are both evil things, I agree, but not every evil act is vandalism. Deliberately writing POV articles is not vandalism (as we have recently had to remind several people on the [[en:]] list), and making poor regulatory decisions is not vandalism either. If you want a catch-all term for every evil act, the word is "evil". Let's save the word "vandalism" for vandalism, lest language become useless when every word has exactly the same meaning.
