Well we do business everywhere we edit around on Wikipedia, so I'll repeat my 
position that a pattern of entering into edit wars with non-obvious vandals 
should be considered a banable offense on a three strike basis (three such 
edit wars within a certain time period, perhaps).    

Confrontational people and those who don't care much about NPOV get into edit 
wars often. We want to encourage cooperation and NPOV edits, no?
