I think RickK will be back. RickK was truly dedicated in a unique way. He actually went out of his way to be an asshole. He didn't shy away when the situation warranted, and even when the situation didn't warrant it, he was there to offer an officious, dismissive snide remark. Only in Wikipedia is someone's foulness so celebrated and allowed to truly shine. This was truly his place, his home. He will be back. He has nowhere else to go. Nobody else will put up with him, even the worst customer service call center would have fired him on day one.
This was his support group. With few exceptions, you people are the pettiest tyrants I've ever known, much worse than college RAs. He'll be back. He needs you to validate him.
What a colossal clusterfuck Wikipedia is. All this effort put into an encyclopedia that will never be finished, will never make any money, will never have any credibility.
Outy.
Thanks for providing an excellent example of exactly the kind of editor RickK spend much of his time dealing with.
Jay.
