If you want an open text encyclopedia, have an open text encyclopedia. If you want to ban people because they weren't nice to people you prefer, than call it an invitational encyclopedia.

During my time here I've seen Jacques Delson and NightCrawler banned for offending other people considered by the sysops to be better users, the bans being justifed by their supposed identity with the demonic DW. The identification is based, it is claimed, on stylistic similarities, but these similarities cannot be described for security reasons. Well, that's persuasive. Secrecy, of course, is the first thing you want in an open encyclopedia.

In fact, Jacques D. and NightC. used different styles (compare their messages on my two user talk pages). Oh, but then they used the same ISP. Well, that's persuasive, eh? I use the same ISP as the Toronto Police Association, but that doesn't make me a policeman. Although I'm sure some here will now conclude that my knowledge of the TPA's ISP proves that I am one.

And I've been told that you won't be blocked for supporting another user, just before Chris Jones speaks up for NightCrawler and is blocked, because we know that Chris Jones = NightCrawler = DW.

People work for nothing here. They could be spared arbitrary decisions by management.
