The common theme among malicious users is that they sooner or later
disappear. Sooner or later they will get bored and go away and then
someone will be there and revert their trash. Or they learn the
wikispirit and stop doing malicious things. Meanwhile, there are about
200,000 other articles you and everyone else can edit. As I highly
doubt that you (or anyone except for Anthony himself) are any
interested in [[McFly]] at all.
