:::::I may get around to emailing that to you privately. But there is no rule saying that y'all can't do that, so I think it is all left to chaos unless we can agree on some [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines|ground rules]]. I can't do that alone. I need feedback from others to make this work. I thank you for posting there and I'm going to make the policy discussion a higher priority than discussing past indiscretions. If you have evidence as in links showing the blocks and the reasons for the block, which you feel were unjustified, please post that and maybe we can address those issues in a general format on the policy page.

As for a practical solution, I would propose radical ignore of the trolls. Don't feed the trolls, that's the best way to deal with the punks. :) The steps I propose are: | |||
# Lock and subsequently delete this entire page. Negotiations with terrorists are acceptable, negotiations with trolls not. | |||
# Patrol the recent edits and deal with trolling and spam operatively as it comes. (This one goes to all admins, myself included!) | |||
# Follow through with my proposal to boil the controversial articles down to least controversial proposals and semi-protect them. | |||
Proxima Centauri, through their actions, your accusers demonstrated their incompetency and their limitations. I understand how unpleasant it is to have your privacy invaded but I cannot think of a way to counter it except just let it blow over. For the time being, I would cheer myself up with an image of basement-dwelling schoolkids whose only joy in this life is to pull on an anonymous mask and gang up to mob decent people. :) --[[User:Koveras|Koveras]] 05:58, 30 August 2009 (EDT) | |||
