I see no particular difference between a vandal who logs in and a vandal who doesn't. Of course, a person who has bothered to log in is less likely to be a vandal than someone who doesn't, at least in our experience so far. And we've never really had a _persistent_ vandal.
And so, yes, I'd like to say that I'll take the responsibility and political heat for banning (or failing to ban, as is more likely!) in cases that don't fit neatly into "simple vandalism", i.e. cases like '24' and Helga.
And I'll make frowny faces at people who ban people as a method of settling a debate about content. That's not WikiLove.
Hey Wikilover,
Will you come make frowny faces to half of the french board next time it is jumping on the head of a logged-in user trying to defend a CE/BCE issue that stands no chance in front of conventions ? :-))
Looking forward that moment. Thanks alot.
peace
