[WikiEN-l] Plautus

Okay, I thought about it.

I'm unblocking Plautus, and I take full responsibility for him as a
"parolee" per your terms below.

Kind of like Frodo and Smeagol. 

Wish me luck.

Uncle Ed

Ed-

you're probably right. Plautus is just a misguided individual. All this

calling other users "dumb motherfuckers" and "fucking ignorant assholes"

has to be expected from a confused newbie. After all you yourself once  
created a "Fucking asshole" account to make a point, remember?

Surely it is acceptable to lose 10 devoted, creative Wikipedians if we
can  
keep a single crackpot around. I should really stop being so judgmental

and leave the important decisions to the people who got their priorities

straight, instead of looking at silly things like polls and hard
evidence.

If Ed believes that an individual is reformable, then we need to all sit

back and let the spirit of Sun Myung Moon work through him. I can't wait

to see you do your magic, Ed!

I have just one condition.

If this whole thing blows in your face, I want you to take full  
responsibility for it. That means that I want you to go through every  
single page Plautus satire edited in the last few days, to take diffs of

these edits and fix them if necessary. That includes erased comments on

talk pages, something he is very fond of.

How about it, Ed? Do you want the whole community to share your faith,
or  
are you ready to fix things up if that faith turns out to be mistaken?

Regards,

Erik
