DW is different to Michael in one other respect: he adds quite useful 
content. Sometimes he writes about something that he doesn't seem to quite 
understand and makes silly omissions (not mentioning Stravinsky on [[Sergei 
Diaghilev]], for example), but I think we all do that from time to time (I 
know I do). His content is, on the whole, useful. It's just his monumental 
arrogance and aggressive manner that's a problem.

What we should do about him, I honestly don't know, but I'm fairly content 
to let him do his thing whilever he's not threatening people. I edited some 
of his articles for style yesterday shortly after he made them, and he 
didn't jump on me for meddling with his work as he has other users before, 
so perhaps there's some improvement there (then again, maybe he merely 
considered it beneath him to talk to me, seeing as I'd somehow insulted the 
whole of Canada by asking who he was....)
