I've unblocked the account, as you clearly aren't MARMOT. I've also
placed a note to this effect on [[WP:ANI]].

But please do grit your teeth and be as polite as possible in edit
summaries :-) Working productively with people you think are idiots is
probably *the* most important skill you can have on Wikipedia.

The relevant policy pages are [[Wikipedia:Civility]] and
[[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]]. Brusqueness in edit summaries is
regarded as particularly bad because they can't be edited.
