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".

Hi Calton! We love you too.

My user page

Oh, of course, the guy who likes to cavort with the whack-jobs, loons, spammers, trolls, sociopaths, and other bad actors at Wikipedia Review and then come to Wikipedia to carry water for them deigns to give me advice about appropriate behavior. "Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas" is the old expression. Hope you have plenty of flea powder. --Calton | Talk 13:40, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


And there's JzG adding his voice of reason. You go Guy!

So you think it's a BLP violation to note that WR users are often banned trolls and spammers? I offer for your consideration JB196 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) and Jon Awbrey (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log). Perhaps if WR did a little housecleaning there would be less temptation to describe it as a cesspit. I'm all for renaming those accounts of banned users which are easily traceable to a real-world identity, but not to the point that we then forget who they are and pretend that their input is somehow welcome here.

Who the hell is JB196?

And since when was Jon Awbrey a "troll and spammer"? He got blocked after getting attacked by someone's sockpuppets on the Charles Peirce article, and for falling foul of SlimVirgin and co on the Original Research Policy pages.

He liked to write articles about professional wrestling. He seemed like he really "believed" in Wikipedia. Somehow he became involved with, or at least accused of, many sockpuppets.
