When the Wikipedia decided that no, civility is not a pillar, and MERELY telling other users, repeatedly, to fuck off, shouldn't be sanctionable, meriting no warnings, and especially no blocks, as disgusting as that was as a window into their sick idea of what makes a community, there was a rather obvious good reason not to do this, from a practical perspective.
As we know from society in general, if you normalise a formerly offensive word, then if someone wants to be offensive, they reach higher up the shelf. Wikipediots are iditos, but they're not so stupid as to know they can't reach for more obviously worse terms of abuse.
But they are nothing if not creative. And so Bearcat, in his efforts to find something more insulting than a mere fuck off, has been very creative....

Wow.fuck all the way off
All the way? The mind boggles. But rather obviously, the offensive intent of "fuck all the way off" here was meant to be higher than a mere "fuck off". He put thought into it.
The truth of rank incivility in Wikipedia being that no, it isn't usually just a case of losing it in the moment and instantly regretting it, they put thought into it, and Bearcat will probably stand by it long after the moment. Don't take my word for it, take the fact he didn't even apologise. They usually want to hurt people's feelings, with malice of forethought, because that's the only power they have, as Wikipediots.
Actually, realising what he actually said, is even more hilarious....
Uh huh. So if it never existed, why was there a need to make it a formal community polled decision that "fuck off" was no longer blockable? And specifically, not the mere act of using a swear, but using it the way Bearcat did, with the intent to offend a specific person. They definitely had a rule agaisnt that, and for a fucking long time.Since when has Wikipedia ever had a "nobody is allowed to ever use a swear word" rule? There certainly hasn't ever been one in the 15+ years I've been here. .... Bearcat (talk) 01:50, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Lying sack of shit. They have a rule Wikipedia against lying your ass off too. Never enforced. Not on vested contributors like Bearcat anyway. Welcome to Wikipedia. You will fucking love being a part of it. If you're stupid and have zero self esteem.

This was reported by a concerned citizen, and so Drmies decided to do what he does quite a lot, and lie his ass off to protect a toxic user. The more direct rudeness that abounds, the less he stands out as a really disgustingly offensive person himself. He closed the report thusly......
And since it is true on its face, many might have done what I almost did, and simply moved on, rather than click the link to see what was actually said, and realise Drmies has deliberately misquoted the offensive phrase used (such a credit to the University of Buttcreek, isn't he?).Bearcat, please don't be uncivil. "Fuck off" is not blockable, but it's not very friendly. Drmies (talk) 01:22, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
The hilarious part? It wasn't even remotely justifiable. I mean, if Bearcat loses his cool over edits like the one he did here, he's probably on a fast track to an early grave.
As usual, the rudeness was at least a convenient way for everyone to overlook the fact the instigator of his ire had a point. There isn't a source in that biography that states that person was born in Vancouver. Bearcat claims it's easy to find, but of course, he didn't bother to find it and add it to the article. He just insulted the person, and undid their edit.
They have a rule against edit warring to reinstate BLP violations too. Bearcat has immunity, because the people tasked with enforcing all the rules, are people like Drmies. Scum.
Only one thing matters on Wikipedia. Keeping pieces of shit like Bearcat happy.
And so we might be getting to the point in this post where people perhaps understand why people like Bearcat seem to attract people like the person here, who seems to have made it their task of the day to fuck with him.
Good.
Getting fucked with is the minimum price these people need to pay for their arrogance, their open flaunting of the rules that all the stupid little people have to follow on Wikipedia, and even then when they do, it's not guaranteed that a piece of shit like Drmies won't just manufacture a reason to ban them in a way he wouldn't dare with a Bearcat.
If Bearcat has a temper, if he chose his name well, and it appears he does, if he has a hair trigger, if he goes home that day irritated by that person and just explodes, if he punches his wife and kicks his kid AND the dog, and if he gets arrested and charged and that ruins the rest of his life.......
GOOD.
Karma, bitches.
