A desyop and banning seems to be in order here.
WP has to understand that the project comes before the Community. If members of the Community are getting in the way of the project, begone with them no matter how long they've been around.
The project cannot succeed if the community is disorganized.
The question is how best to organize a community.
The problem with trying to organize a community by sequentially castigating and ostracizing the bad actor
du jour is that over time, it's a corrosive and dispiriting process that gradually alienates more and more people.
So, it would be better for her to change herself or leave voluntarily?
I don't think WP has ever had any clear goals. Build an encyclopedia is a good broad goal, but then there's the details and sub-goals that have to be made.
WP needs to figure out what it is creating, how to create it, and what kind of community and leadership is needed to create it.
Its like they're playing an American football game but they haven't a clue how to make the goal and keep fumbling the ball. You need strategy, cohesion, teamwork, and leadership. WP doesn't have those things.
