Just starting a collection of the little 'presents' that FT2 leaves on one's talk page from time to time. Qualifying criterion: they have to be very nice and polite on first reading, until you read more carefully and you taste the vitriol and poison.

Starting with the Christmas present that FT2 left on Giano's page on 25 December 2007. FT2 knew by that point that he had been elected to Arbcom and was flexing his muscles.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...RC-related_page

Typical sociopathic remarks "I wish I didn't have to write this but I do." (Oh yes you jolly well are revelling in writing this). "Giano, this pains me". (Always use Christian name when saying things like this, and always say how painful it is for you to be inflicting pain on others). "You know fully and well, how to handle disagreement, and the norms the community expects and aims for. " (always mention the community). "I ask you this as a collaborator and colleague whose work on content I'm in awe of. " (I wish I didn't have to say this but I do).

And finally, don't forget to 'tweak' it at the end:

Storing this one here:

QUOTE

The Arbitration Committee has historically probably been a better judge of a number of "people things" than the community. Since the Arbitrators are elected by users of the community as being (by definition) its best, most seasoned, and skilled users, it follows that a discussion in open community is going to be made up of users who have by and large not been voted by a communal process to be the best, most seasoned and skilled users. To underline this, it was the communities - plural - that decided Poetlister was legitimate... and it was an Arbitration Committee, twice, that stated categorically they were socks. FT2 (Talk | email) 23:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure that argument holds up under scrutiny. The community picks the arbitration committee, therefore the arbitration committee must have better judgment than the community? Perhaps we should have arbitrators select their own successors? Avruch T 23:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

And this one as an apparent case of FT2 harassing of female admins.

FT2, you really can't take a hint, can you? I'm sorry, but you're kind of out of your depth in doling out the same hard-won psychological insights over and over to Giano, to me, or to Loki, with the same air of discovery. You're also in the wrong place. (Have you even noticed that this is my talkpage that you're on, HINT HINT?) What's the difficulty, really? I assure you you couldn't go far wrong with the short-short version, which goes like this: Please Go Away. All right? Bishonen | talk 02:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC).
