RK is very quick in his accusations of "vandalism", and in calling
people "anti-Semitic". His aggressive use of emotional loaded language
doesn't make it easy for people to behave in a reasonable manner and
come to a peaceful resolution.

If anything, I'd like to see RK sanctioned for a week or two, so he can
cool off, and understand how offensive many find his current behavior.
