[WikiEN-l] Michael

[Poor, Edmund W]

Well, all those sound like bannable offenses to me. 
So let's discuss strategy.

Here's what we want: Michael not to do those things.

Here are our options:
1. Ignore him, and just clean up as needed
2. Agitate for a ban

I think in this case option #1 will work better, 
because after a while, his anti-social behavior 
will taper off (see "Do not feed the trolls").

Option #2 is less likely to work, since he's liable 
to change usernames.

Moral of the story: sometimes it's not effective 
to fight fire with fire; it's better to be a wet 
blanket or to let the fire burn itself out.

Unless someone else has a much better idea, I ask 
you all to join me in option #1 for a week.

He's made up comments on talk pages and attributed them to others by 
"signing" their name (the comments made the users seem to be rude, abusive, 
etc). He's added links to a porn site on the year pages. He's added patent 
nonsense about the imagined sexual activities of George Washington. And 
yes, he's reverted fixes documented as accurate. See [[Crass]] and 
associated talk page.
