Unacceptable.

Inacceptabile.

If he's not the only one, then maybe there's some solid reasoning behind it?

"Articles they were working on"... last time I checked, the Great
Purges at ia.wiki were all of itty-bitty articles, some less than 5
words. Find me one that was more than a paragraph, and I'll be
surprised.

It depends on the Wikipedia. I posted a stub on the Zuñi language to
the Japanese WP. A month later, it was deleted for being a stub,
despite the fact that it was a few sentences long. Different WPs have
different thresholds of quality.

You consider? You? And remind me how many people there are at ia.wiki?
Your only type of authority is that you are an admin.

Rather than BLOCKING HIM, which is utterly inappropriate, you
should've REQUESTED HE BE DESYSOPPED for what you considered to be
inappropriate actions on his part.

So anybody who disagrees with you isn't reasonable? I'm sure.

Assi alcuno qui disaccorda no es rational?? De _isto_, io es secur.
