Of course, getting out of the heat, and proving your good faith 
elsewhere separates them from the really harmful people.  The regulars 
on other projects will be more inclined to treat the person more 
objectively.  I have encountered Poetlister on Wikisource, and had a 
sharp difference of opinion with her, but even though I disagreed with 
her, I had no reason to question her motives.  The learning curve for 
people with strong opinions is not an easy one, and those who are too 
willing to find fault with them would do better putting a small effort 
into searching for common ground.

If Poetlister's sin was with the use of sockpuppets did anybody begin by 
approaching her in a respectful manner about this serious sin?
