Everyone should read and consider this. We've had *lengthy* discussions on
this matter on wikien-l.

Basically: most of the really poisonous arseholes have in fact been kicked
off en: Wikipedia, and when new ones show up they are ejected in reasonable
order. (In a lot of cases, it's not even reaching the AC as they're dealt
with as obvious vandals and trolls by WP:AN/I.) So now the AC is getting a
lot of grey-area cases that are really a proxy for a content dispute. What
to do about this?
