I disagree. He is a wasting our most valuable commodity: Time. He deserves zero respect in my books because of his very existence is counterproductive to anything we're trying to accomplish on this Wiki. Perhaps if we took a harder line on these annoyances and make examples perhaps people wouldn't be so flippant with admins.

"Staff members", we're not employees Shabook, this is strictly a volunteer gig. This is a hobby, not a job, and this is the internet. People are notoriously shitty and I respond in kind. As for acting exemplary, I reserve that for people who don't waste our time with inanities.

As for blocking someone for calling me an idiot. I've got thicker skin than that. However, usually, when most people call me names on here they use harsher language than "idiot". The amount of homophobic slurs I've had hurled at me on this site by some troll or another is astounding.

So no, Shabook, I don't think this waste of space deserves my respect. I reserve that for people who make a valid contribution to this website.

Now if you're done lecturing me on ethics, I think we can all be focusing our energy on something other than this idiot.
