I propose we merely refer to them as 'elonkated.'

Snappy!

That list is a laff-riot. And a good example of WP's misgovernanace.

Look at some of the names on the list.
  1. Elonka...well, you know all about that thing.....
  2. Herostratus, notorious pedophile POV-pusher, is apparently in prison right now for possessing child pornography. Has anyone tried to revoke his adminship?
  3. GlassCobra? What an embarrassment.
  4. Ditto for Friday.
  5. Nishkid64, famous juvenile banhammer.
  6. Plus a number of people I personally find distasteful: Chillum, Bisanz, Tiptoety, NW.
If Wikipedia were not an ugly joke, those freaks
(and probably a few more freaks on the open-to-recall list)
would have already been recalled.

Whatever the the hell this "incident" and his current living arrangements are, he appears in this edit to imply that another person has access to his account.

This is sufficient basis to de-sysop him and block his account until further notice, I think.
