[WikiEN-l] Newbie and not-so-newbie biting

[Sage Ross]

This isn't a new issue by any means, but here's a nice post by someone
who's been contributing occasionally since 2004, about how daunting
"wikibullying" can be for newbies and other editors who aren't
well-versed in the procedures and processes.

Unfriendliness is built into the system, even when admins and others
who enforce the rules are perfectly civil and try to be friendly at an
individual level.
