Lost where?

Wikipaedia blocks and bans people.  The goal
of Community Exile, in theory, is to convince
someone to exercise his or her Right to Leave.

However, Wikipaedia drags the names and/or
pseudonyms of blocked and/or banned users
through the dirt, refusing to blank pages,
generally acting like ED.

By denying blocked and/or banned users
the Right to Vanish, Wikipaedia forces them
to hang around in an attempt to protect their
reputations.  This is bad for everyone.

'You don't want people hanging around solely
because they don't have the ability to vanish -
such folks are only around out of the need to
protect their reputation, rather than BarnRaising.'
