You must have a limited imagination.

>I also have Phil's "circle the wagons" rant up above.

Rant?  Phil's statement was right on.

>Expansion kills online communities because of people like Phil who won't

Strawman arguments.

>Now you know why I went anonymous. If I didn't Phil would be leading a 
>charge to have me removed right now for saying that.

LOL! What nonsense.

>David and SlimVirgin's behaviour in this matter has been sub-par. So has 
>the behaviour of the rest of you on this list.

David and Slim's behaviour has been highly commendable; yours, on the other 
hand, has been sub-par.

>The only offense I can see in the Enviroknot profile is a pair of 3RR 
>violations. The one SlimVirgin put in tonight is totally unjustified.

You're obviously unfamiliar with the 3RR rule.

>The one earlier when people were claiming Enviroknot was also another IP 
>address is pushing your luck.

Huh?

>Meanwhile, editors and administrators alike have been hounding that profile 
>looking for any excuse to attack it. None of you bothered to set aside your 
>feelings long enough to look at the situation.

Look in a mirror.

>That isn't right. The behaviour of all of you in this scenario is making me 
>sick to my stomach.

Found your own Wiki then, you need to look after your health.

>If the rest of you share that attitude, then Wikipedia is doomed.

If admins shared *your* attitued Wikipedia would be doomed. Fortunately most 
don't.

Jay.
