yes, MM is. I didn't think Poop is, but I'm sure its one of his butties. If Gary and all his socks aren't banned, there are going to be a significant editing force of people who are no longer going to so commiitted to the project. I'd even go so far as to guess it will turn those people to negative contributors, not just the discontinuation of positive contributors. Regardless of the specific case of who is behind those socks, what he edited, etc, what has occurred is a cancer on Wikipedia. One of many tumors. People have learned that you can abusively sock, get away with it, and do it again. all you have to do is make friends with the officers who are just are ethically challenged. Mutual blackmail. Wait til Gary's next book comes out. Linkspam redux, lol. This post has been edited by Piperdown:

Poupon is just one of those irritants that are so anti badsites their blood pressure must be off the charts every time he sees my name. I'm pretty sure he will earn himself a block for disruption before long givent he current behaviour he has been exhibiting. Edit: Actually just noted the comments on Durova's talk page and gave him a warning. Second edit: Btw - I like the username, its very unique. Had to look up what Poupon was when I first saw it. Turns out we have it in australia too - I have eaten the stuff. This post has been edited by Viridae:

How can something be very unique? Poupon is or was off-colour mustard, though it's been re-coloured. http://www.dullmen.com/grey_poupon.htmActually someone picked me up on "very unique" the other day. Interestingly Poupon n Australia is a faux french brand - dijon is all I see from them. This is the stuff - but I dont know if it is called grey poupon here: http://www.leekangkoog.org/images/mustard600.jpg

Wikipedians, if they don' t let you ban him, and they won't or it would have already occurred, do this.
Put on his user talk page
"Hello, this is <User>. I think what you did here (put about 3 diffs with his worst sock/verbal/voting/etc abuses) is wrong and I think you should leave Wikpedia."
People should be given a chance to leave first. If they disagree with several straightforward points of why they are being asked to leave, and have no satisfactory response, and still refuse to leave...fire them. It's the way the real world works.
I think you'll find a lot of the community who will politely ask him to leave, with diffs backing up their reasons.
And doing so is not uncivil, is not against anything that Wikpedia stands for supposedly, and is not anything you should get sanctioned for yourself for doing. Politely expressing your opinion about someone else's behaviour should be encouraged, not blanked and used against you from an enemies list deadpool.
Wikipedia is a community of editors, not a community of a crew of admins who have each other's backs no matter how bad one of their crew behaves. They say WP is not a democracy, and they're wrong.

Many suspect he is a Hipocrite who vanished after a Java Virtual Machine predicted a lawsuit in his future.

Gosh, what a valued contributor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/HipocriteThat's right up there with Mantanmoreland in quality, although the quantity is lacking. That is the sort of history that PooponBensToast would surely be spurred on to put a snide "Note: this user has only x edits" comment below an Rfa vote. This post has been edited by Piperdown:

Hipocrite ran afoul of Jeffrey Vernon Merkey who is only able to communicate in legal threats Merkey has much more reason to be mad at me; I think I started complaining about him the day after he was unbanned. But I've gotten nothing from him after he left Wikipedia. There's almost certainly something more.

QUOTE(tarantino @ Mon 11th February 2008, 9:37pm) I wouldn't be surprised if Merkey and WB had swapped war stories. There's several mutual acquaintances between them. Indeed I have had more than one long chat with Merkey, but none mediated by our common acquaintances. It's more about our common adversaries, among which I do not count you, tarantino. And to your point: I admit to getting along just fine with Merkey, although when it comes to war stories, it's not much of an exchange; Merkey mostly just gives.
