And then there are the problem cases, people like '24' and possibly Helga -- these people aren't simple vandals, but neither are they getting with the program in a constructive way. I reserve the right
of final banning on those cases to myself,
although of course I'm probably too patient in seeking general consensus first.

I mean no disrespect whatsoever, but some of this patience you and others (including me) have had could very well have resulted in JHK's, Michael Tinkler's and unknown other's leaving the project in disgust.
Our current lax enforcement of our etiquette policies along with our tolerance of kooks and trolls seem hostile to experts and many others -- no wonder we keep driving them away.
I say we should be a bit more diligent in enforcing our Wikipetiquette policy and in informing those who would be kooks and trolls that their kooking (is that a word?) and trolling is not welcome here. See http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipetiquette
I'm sick and tired of loosing good, no great, contributors because of our lax attitude in these matters.
This is just my opinion - take it or leave it. I'm /not/ speaking as a sysop; I'm speaking as a greatly annoyed Wikipedian who already misses working with Jules (and who also worries about our history articles being over-run by kooks now that JHK is gone).
