UC Bill Gianoed, Down goes a developer? Options

[Hipocrite]

UC_Bill (T-C-L-K-R-D) has a short temper. He's also, I believe, a developer.

He was just blocked indef, email blocked cannot edit own talk page for venting on his talk page after getting in a fight with Bart Simpson fans.

A must read.

This is a good example of what Kato was going on about in this thread. Can you imagine a work colleague turning to you and saying "Why don't you go fuck yourself, you dipshit"? This is so entertaining.

Can you imagine a work environment in which people are allowed, nay invited to turn up from the street and start 'helping' you with your work in a way that you would prefer them not to? Particularly when they clearly have no expertise in your line of work (though they imagine they do). And when you get exasperated and say "Why don't you go fuck yourself, you dipshit", one of the workplace security guards turns up and escorts you from the premisses. Can you imagine that? No, quite.

Everyone who deals with the public as part of their job has to deal with this - and a lot worse - every day.

Get serious, please.

Since yesterday was Wednesday, I myself did very little work on WP except editing on one science topic I thought needed fixing. I enjoyed watching ISPs vandalize all my favorite articles and did nothing about it. Be interesting to see if any of it survived to today.

I know, I forgot to bump that thread.

I am perfectly serious. 'Dealing with the public' is not the same as having the public invited in to do your work for you. If I teach a group of people I have a professional duty to be polite and helpful, no matter what idiocy they come up with.

But for the analogy to hold, I would have to put up with the students taking the podium and correcting me at various points, making alterations to homework, marking exams and so on.

This is clearly quite different from 'dealing with the public'.
