Speaking of related stupidity:
Malleus FatuorumÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
whipped out his junk and started thumping it on the foreheads of the sensitive in a bit of an uncivil fit a few hours ago. See
the ANI thread.
Not speaking on the incivility myself, but I did find it humorous that
AitiasÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
was just jumping at the opportunity to issue the block, as he noted more than once:
QUOTE("Aitias")
If diff-links are provided for the above personal attacks I am going to block straight away. — Aitias // discussion 12:14 pm, Today (UTC)
and
QUOTE("Aitias")
As I wrote above, if diff-links are provided, especially for "stick it up your arse", "laughing stock" and "Live with it bitch" I am going to block straight away. — Aitias // discussion 12:17 pm, Today (UTC)
But he was apparently too lazy to go look at the history or Malleus' contribs for the diffs. Instead missing the fact that the diffs had already been posted in reply to his first request, before he made the second.
And then we get this beautiful series of block log entries (read from bottom up):
- 19:46, 6 March 2009 Coren (talk | contribs) blocked Malleus Fatuorum (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of 19:28, 9 March 2009 ‎ (Unblock was out of process, no wheel warring, please. Discuss the block, or bring the incident to a suitable forum.)
- 19:38, 6 March 2009 Ddstretch (talk | contribs) unblocked "Malleus Fatuorum (talk | contribs)" ‎ (Blocking admin is involved (he/she interacted with Malleus and Malleus was brusque with him/her), the length was excessive, and no block notice was posted)
- 19:28, 6 March 2009 Aitias (talk | contribs) blocked Malleus Fatuorum (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of 3 days ‎ (Personal attacks or harassment: and Incivility: cf. WP:AN/I: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?&oldid...ck_of_civility)
Also, further down the discussion, you'll see that
TipToeTyÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
was in the process of
indefinitely blocking Malleus. How completely stupid. The amount of high-quality contributions Malleus makes to the project is so far beyond the work these kids put in jacking up their edit count with Huggle... it just boggles the mind. Yes, he hurts your feelings. Best to kick his ass off the project, along with all the time he spend ... (wait for it) ... working on content!
But who needs content? "Without [it,] Wikipedia is just Facebook for ugly people." (IMG:

Anyway, it's always amusing to see admins that don't understand what a wheel war is. They spew it out like they're up on their research, but then they look silly because it didn't happen. How is it not a personal attack by the standards of these overly sensitive editors to accuse an admin of wheel warring when no such warring has occurred? A wheel war, boys and girls, is when an admin action is overturned
and then the overturned action is overturned. They can go on further from there. Simply overturning an admin's action =/= a wheel war. It's just impolite... and will get you desysoped if it has to do with ArbCom action, but I digress. Seriously, though. That's like saying someone is edit warring because they revert an edit. In this case,
CorenÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
broke Wikipedia policy by wheel warring to restore the disputed block.
QUOTE("WP:WHEEL")
Do not repeat an administrative action when you know that another administrator opposes it.
But he's an Arb, so it's all good, right? (Read the subsection created by Coren and you'll see it is... at least according to him. He first says he did it not as an arb, but as an admin who happens to be an arb... but then he says he did it as an arb in the second
and third paragraph of the same post... brilliant! (IMG:

So then there's pointless debate wherein Aitias refers to the unblock as "abusive", which is just wrong on so many levels. Glad to know this guy had such a peachy childhood that this is what he classifies as abuse. Lucky bastard. (IMG:

And then
!, as if it weren't lulzy enough, an exchange of thinly veiled insults and polite incivility breaks out between Wehwalt and ... AITIAS! (IMG:
smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif)
To finish it off, it wouldn't be true drama if Durova didn't make an appearance. And she was even so polite as to apologize for being late... as if everyone expected her. Of course, we did all expect her, so I guess it's fair. (IMG:
