[WikiEN-l] Abuse of blocking powers (The Recycling Troll)

Wed Mar 9 11:37:58 UTC 2005

Well, the case that you're making seems to be that
admins are never wrong, it is an afront to check their
edits, and the important thing is to have 'friends',
presumably, who protect you from the rules.

If you don't like a peer review process, then a
collaborative encyclopedia seems like the wrong
project for you. However hard you try to avoid the
point, the fact is that checking other people's edits
is a GOOD THING, not stalking.
