I'm not seeking a reconsideration of the userbox 'issue' here (thank
God/[insert alternative deity of your choice here] that's over), but
it shows just how easy it is to ignore policy if you characterise
those seeking to uphold policy as trolls, wikilawyers and process
wonks.
There's a difference between process wonks and policy wonks:
- Process wonks favour process over policy
- Policy wonks favour policy over process
A process wonk will often get the wrong result using the right method. A
policy wonk will get the right result using the wrong method. Remember,
it's not the letter of the rules which counts, it's the spirit of the
rules; hence, making 4 reverts in 25 hours counts as breaking 3RR.
