Desperately Seeking Scapegoats

The Usual Suscepts converted a discussion on Expert Rebellion, originally a salon brawl taking place on one of Dbuckner's subpages, to a soi-disant "Brain-Storming" page on Expert Retention, and then finally co-opted the whole earnest call for reform into the latest fad in outsiding agitators, a new brand guideline on Disruptive Editing.

It's a Killer ...

PS. Could some kindly staff person please fix the subtitle? — I have real bad OCD (Optical Character Digitization), and I'm sure that it will send me off the deep end to keep seeing those typos. It should read:
  • If you have an editor who lasts longer than four hours, please see a doctor.
Gratia in futuro,

No luck - the "Edit Title" feature allows for even fewer characters than the "Add Topic" feature. I was only able to get as far as "If you have an editor lasting longer tha" before it maxed out.

How about something like "Your edit count could be 3 inches longer"?

Btw, I like the edit summary in the initial post of the "Disruptive Editiing" policy page:
QUOTE
Initial proposal to actively discipline tendentious users

Damn those tendentious users! Break out the whips and chains! We shall make them submit to our will!

Somey,

I will not speculate on the parameter envy or the hypo-textual circumcism complex of the software ingenue who, Medusa-like, cast this particular form of sententious castration in hard-wired stone, but merely accept your suggestion as a suitable compromise-formation.
