Legitimate requests are not attacks, regardless of how they are phrased. And criticizing terminology is expanding the issue needlessly. Shall we /not/ see how many sub-issues we can drag into this thread? Just a thought, but stay on topic.
OK, "go away" may be a "legitimate request" (actually, it reads like an order); but what do you call "you trolling fuckwit"?

Like I said, Wikipaedia is also an attack site. David hardly started that. It's ingrained in the culture.
If this is so, and we expect to become - and to remain - a legitimate, respected project - we've got a lot of work to do.
I personally believe that the vast majority of Community Members are above that sort of behavior. That's where the hope comes from.
