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".

Drama Report
==========

Since Kato's post of 7:36am (UTC) the offending text has been :
[1] Removed by IP 78.102.45.128. First post using that IP, but apparently the Feds know who it is.
[2] Replaced by admin Gb (T-C-L-K-R-D) (This user has an alternate account here for use on public or shared computers). See fun fun fun on talkpage. Heh.
[3] Removed again by very semi-retired admin Alison (T-C-L-K-R-D) . This is a privacy/BLP issue as far as she's concerned. So there.

So Alison has made it stick. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (T-C-L-K-R-D) removed the same offense 3 times in a 3 week period. He was reverted each time by an admin and was thanked with a 48 hour block for disruption.

This is a guy who's been around for 3 years (albeit with a 2 year break in the middle), and spends virtually all his time repairing biographies of living people. Arbcom dickhead Coren declines his first unblock request with the rationale "the blocking admin makes a good argument that your behavior has been nonetheless disruptive."

The second unblock request begins with "I'm sorry. This is Kafkaesque. It is not disputed that I did not make the edit for which I was blocked." The very special Sandahl replies "You say you are Kafkaesque, if you are User:Kafkaesque you need to need to make this unblock request in this account name."

If any of you wikipediacs are looking to be nudged towards thw WP exit, here you go.

First block was by Calton, second by Badger Drink, third by Auburn Pilot. I know Calton isn't an admin; is Badger Drink? And Gb was the hatchet-man. What a bunch of scumbags.

Yes. Mr. Sandahl, who wouldn't recognize the term "Kafkaesque" as he's no fan of Kafka (being much too verbose for his tastes) is clearly a prize numptard who needs, nay, begs to have a hobnailed boot planted upside his arse. Theoretically speaking, of course.

The more I look at it, the more I think this priceless exchange really deserves to be immortalized. Could somebody please add it to WP:LAME so it doesn't get lost?

You're right.

When I first saw it, I thought it was someone taking the piss, but it now seems like that reply was genuine. Sandahl (T-C-L-K-R-D) really did say that in seriousness, thinking that the guy was User:Kafkaesque. Just when you think the Irony factor on Wikipedia couldn't go any further.
