[WikiEN-l] Harrasment by an admin - examples?

[michaelturley at myway.com]

I'd say RickK's treatment of Willswikihelp is pretty close to harrassing a new user, given that he reverted the user twice, and in doing so didn't once post a polite edit summary, nor a helpful comment to Willswikihelp's talk page, or even any comment whatsoever to either article's talk page, even after Willswikihelp complained of harassment on RickK's talk page.

Since Willswikihelp is such a new user, you can quickly review his entire contribution history and see how just one or two people, especially if they're admins, can ruin the good faith of a new user.  

The actions and comments of Cantus and SchmuckyTheCat aren't any better, but they're not admins, so personally, I don't expect nearly as much from them.  (However, reading SchmuckyTheCat's edit summaries in response to this new user on the South Lake Tahoe, California article is especially disturbing.)  

I doubt you'll ever see this new user complain to the ArbCom.  He's obviously frustrated.  I'm not sure he'll be back.

Personally, I'd like to see an example of an admin repeatedly harrasing a regular user failing to be put before arbcom.
