Sucks to be a Wikipedian.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... =850641929
You give eleven years to the project, you get into a fued with another editor, that editor keeps finding ways to irritate you, to force unwanted interactions, and you get told you're the problem. You get blocked. You get muzzled. You never get a satisfactory answer to your queries as to why he can keep doing this, and somehow you're meant to be OK with the idea that other people can stop it so you need to stfu, THEY JUST DON'T STOP IT.
Why? Because why would they care if one person is irritating another? It doesn't affect them. Nobody is forced to look into the behaviour of another, much less monitor them 24/7, and they won't do so when it's someone as annoying to deal with as this guy's nemesis. So reporting someone, or asking questions of enforcers thinking, has to be allowed.
After all that, the still patronize you about how your contributions are really valued, and you can come back as soon as you accept all this nonsense without complaint.
This is Wikipedia all over. Two people are irritating each other? Don't get to the root of the problem, just pick who you like best, and fuck the other guy over. The easy option. Because nobody is getting paid to do anything more complex, so nobody really gives a shit about you or your issues.
All you stupid fucks who have Wikipedia as your chosen hobby, you need to realise that this guy is you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but every Wikipedian who doesn't simply leave when they figure out how stupid it all is, ends up in a Chinese torture like this. This is what they mean when they say you're disposable. Your contributions really don't matter. You're not a human being to these freaks. You're a pawn, a game peice, to be moved around a board.
So do yourselves a favour and leave now, before they force you to beg to be treated with basic dignity, or do something that makes you want to go down there with an AR-15 and start taking names. It's been done for less. Eleven years is longer than most relationships.
