[WikiEN-l] Divisive and Inflammatory Behavior, was CSD T1

[Fred Bauder]

I don't think we have a policy which prohibits disruptive behavior in  
so many words. Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines speaks of  
"problematic or disruptive behavior" and there is [[WP:POINT]],  
Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Restating  
the principle will not make it policy; it is already policy. Stating  
the principle just makes it explicit rather than implicit.
