[WikiEN-l] Response to Jack Lynch

Not true. Wik, who is quite popular and generally considered a valuable
contributor, is in a world of hurt, to the point we will be lucky to get him
back after the latest slap on the wrist. The point is, consistent
aggressiveness will eventually break so many "rules" that even the most
conservative arbitrators will feel moved to support some remedy. Wik is also
a good example of why is not a good practice to decide on your own that
certain other editors are not worth paying attention to. It was the dummies
and outcasts that dragged him down, folks he didn't think it worthwhile to
discuss controversies with. His free pass didn't.

Would that were true.  But should you step on the toes of certain editors,
you would be auto-reverted over and over again if you even tried to so much
as change a comma, and the person doing all the reverting would be allowed
to get away with it without so much as a slap on the wrist because "they're
a valuable contributor."
