Should valued contributers be treated differently? Options

[victim of censorship]

Well, if a self-admitted asshole alleges that my behavior was "assholish" it means that I probably was very good.

I should admit, tarc, that at one point a few days ago for whatever reason I thought that I am starting seeing something human in you. I was mistaking. you were, are, and always will be a dirty troll, and a very stinky self-admitted asshole, and with this you are added to my ignore users list.

Tarc is not human, he's a has a Tumor-like growth in his head, and it causes him to become this living dead zombie troll.

Besides, Tarc can't help himself, The Tumor forces him to warp his lips around Jimmy's love pump and sucks Jimbo juice in order to feed the Tumor and his love for Wiki. Tarc is typical of the Classs of ASSHOLE that swims in the rotten cesspool of lies, deceit, defamation, Miss-information, and other low brown shite, that Wikipedia is now serving up these days.

This and a million more reason why Wikipeidia is a FAILED PROJECT!!!! The World need to stop believing in the Shit the pours out of JIMMBO mouth, and start to take notice of the real fruits of the Wikipeidia. The test is..."... Would the world (internet) be better off with or without Wiki...?" Well, we all know that answer.

The best place to begin is to stop the money and to challenge Wiki's 501©(3) status and continue to point out the Brown waste (see the black anus pic) Wiki is all about.

The difference between you and me is that, while we both may be assholes, you pretend that you are not. Its like the difference between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to sex scandals. Politicians from both parties get embroiled in them, but it is the Republicans that come off more hypocritical given their staunch stances on family values.

Do we really still need diffs to show your assholish behavior, Mila? I think you've reached a level of wiki-infamy where your antics are common knowledge by now.

get bent tarc. just because editors have failed to send your ass to AE doesn't mean you're less of a douche.

I guess this means I'm off the Christmas Hanukkah card list for next year?

dont celebrate commercial holidays.

like i said, get bent.

Is this a response to the question of this thread?

Malleus can be an ass (or as he prefers arse.) That is not to say that he is one, but rather he acts like one. He can be one of the rudest most demeaning users. He scorns NPA and CIVIL.
Malleus can also be one of the most helpful users on Wikipedia. I have never seen him turn down a request for help---although it might simply be a high level review.
Malleus is clearly in the top 1% of users here at Wikipedia. Both for the good and ill. He is one of the best editors/reviewers we have---and is worth a 100 of the rest of us.
Malleus is smart enough to know that his actions/words inflame situations and tend to bait specific responses.
Malleus particularly likes to cast dispersions about the admin core.
That being said, most of the individual blocks against him are frivilous. I've tended to side with Malleus when he is blocked because individually the cases lack merit.
While I believe the specific incidents resulting in blocks have been weak, there is an inexplicable history of abuse and incivility coming from Malleus that can’t be ignored.
At the same time, the loss of Malleus to the project would be a serious one as his value to Wikipedia equaled only by a handful. Which I hope doesn't happen.

Is it only me, but did the above quote remind to somebody else this song?

She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear
She waltzes on her way to Mass
And whistles on the stair
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
I even heard her singing in the abbey

She's always late for chapel
But her penitence is real
She's always late for everything
Except for every meal
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Maria's not an asset to the abbey

I'd like to say a word in her behalf
Maria makes me laugh

Thank yo! I always forget about the power of youtube.

Well, if a self-admitted asshole alleges that my behavior was "assholish" it means that I probably was very good.

I should admit, tarc, that at one point a few days ago for whatever reason I thought that I am starting seeing something human in you. I was mistaking. you were, are, and always will be a dirty troll, and a very stinky self-admitted asshole, and with this you are added to my ignore users list.

Tarc is not human, he's a has a Tumor-like growth in his head, and it causes him to become this living dead zombie troll.

Besides, Tarc can't help himself, The Tumor forces him to warp his lips around Jimmy's love pump and sucks Jimbo juice in order to feed the Tumor and his love for Wiki. Tarc is typical of the Classs of ASSHOLE that swims in the rotten cesspool of lies, deceit, defamation, Miss-information, and other low brown shite, that Wikipedia is now serving up these days.

JoJo! I actually almost missed your 3rd-grade level invective. Welcome back, buddy.

This and a million more reason why Wikipeidia is a FAILED PROJECT!!!! The World need to stop believing in the Shit the pours out of JIMMBO mouth, and start to take notice of the real fruits of the Wikipeidia. The test is..."... Would the world (internet) be better off with or without Wiki...?" Well, we all know that answer.

The best place to begin is to stop the money and to challenge Wiki's 501©(3) status and continue to point out the Brown waste (see the black anus pic) Wiki is all about.

At one time you used to brag quite a bit how you had an inside line with Congressional type people and such, about attacking the WMF's 501 status. Can you give us an update?

WRers who are confused about how certain words are used in male English working-class vernacular might find this link useful. The dialogue is perfectly realistic.

It isn't just the working class who swear. The toffs do it too. It is just the middle class who hold their noses.

Hey jagoff, that time is coming. You see. BTW, hows the protein injections you are getting from Jimmybo - polishing them knobs of all the Admins?. Just wondering.

Here's a letter published in the Economist

WikiTweaks

SIR – Your take on the charges of elitism at Wikipedia struck a chord (“Wikipleadia”, January 15th). I have been a contributor since the summer of 2009, mostly to articles on race issues, and during this time I’ve seen several members quit the project. Every person I know of who has left provided the same reason, which is that Wikipedia’s rules are enforced selectively, especially the rule that members treat each other in a civil manner. One person said he had been accused of being a “nationalist”, a “racist”, a “POV-warrior”, a “troll”, a “conspirator”, a “sockpuppet” and a “meatpuppet”.

The basic problem is that without a system of checks and balances, Wikipedia cannot ensure that people who hold minority viewpoints are treated fairly. Although Jimmy Wales is still the titular head, nearly all decisions about individual disputes are made either by the community, by administrators who are elected by a vote in the community, or by a group of high-level administrators known as ArbCom, who are also elected. The surest way for administrators and ArbCom to retain their positions is to appeal to popular sentiment among the ordinary members. By doing so they drive away members who might have voted against them.

This self-sustaining cycle of bias, the decline in participation and Mr Wales’s gradual delegation of authority to the community and to ArbCom have all occurred since 2007. He now needs to introduce fundamental reform to the way Wikipedia’s community is managed.

I would say no. Only because we have no idea what would happen with the other users. if users are getting to the point where they're driving other users out, making them uncomfortable or want to contribute less, then they need to go.

Over the years we've seen several users become AN/I legends for the amount of threads started because of the way they interacted with other users (often new users).

The rallying cry of "valued contributor" was made and the issue was swept under the rug countless times.

We can never know what would have happened if we'd sent them packing the time before. The latest new users they soured on the whole experience may have later turned out to be as good as them or better but minus the drama.

Every time they piss on someone they further increase the chances of that being the case.
