This is very typical of Rick, He can be like this. Personally I feel Rick's behavior
as sysop is terrible, and he should be de-sysoped. Now I have tried to reason with Rick,
but he has called me a troll and the like.
When I see Rick's signature on a mailing list post I am already
predisposed to give it minimum credibility.
Nothing could be my brother in arms, becuase Rick will
be defended by the sysops. Wikipedia is a Dictatorship, you cannot question people like
Rick lest you'll be banned. However, I can help you nevertheless my brother, please
join the IRC channel (as a matter of fact if Rick is reading this I'd like you also to
join because I wish to discuss my POV with you).
Wikipedia has far too many sysops. Too many are prone to use that
status as a means for enforcing a POV, and acting theron like
self-appointed policemen. There are enough now to be able to work
together to succeed in their efforts. If a person is going to be a
sysop, he needs to be held to a higher standard of behaviour than an
average user. I would support any move to reduce the number of sysops.
