How does user Calton (T-C-L-K-R-D) get away with having a user page like that?

QUOTE(Calton)
The above obviously includes the various trolls, spammers, quacks, greedheads, and crackpots -- and their enablers -- who hang out at ED and WR. I also seem to have attracted the unwanted attention of a crackpot spamming "psychologist" calling himself "Wyatt Ehrenfels", that indefinitely banned (for good reason) spammer Gregory Kohser, and various indefinitely banned anger-management poster children. If you're one of the those various trolls, spammers, quacks, greedheads, crackpots, and/or their enablers, welcome! Now get lost.


This is just a blatant attack on two named Wikipedians.

He's already been blocked a number of times for "Persistent incivility and taunting of other users".

Well, it seems Mr. Wales himself has picked up this cause. See his comment on my talk page here. Exciting, I'm sure.

Wales also seems to think User:Gb should hand in his admin bit.[1]

Well done, Jimbo - again.

Jimbo is fast becoming one of the most reasonable figures on WP.

I know... I can't believe it either.

The more I think about it, the more I try to make sense of it this way:

Jimbo is not a leader. In the absence of sufficient income for a jet, he's in it for the "social capital". Once the direction of the wind starts to change, I reckon one can rely on Jimbo to follow.

While that certainly could be the explanation for Jimbo's recent attack of reasonableness, I think it more likely that one or more of the big ticket donors that the WMF has recently acquired have been bringing pressure to bear on him to clean up Wikipedia. The irony here is that it is the most ideologically hard line wikipediots that are resisting reform, and Jimbo was the one most responsible for creating that ideology to begin with.
