What would you do to me if I told you to shut the fuck up you whining twat You d probably block me If I did the same thing again after the block expired you d block me for longer Eventually I d be subject to an indefinite ban But what do we do with respected admins Can t template them that d be rude Can t block them no admin would do that So basically the policy amounts to once you reach a certain level of authority here you are free to tell anyone to fuck off as long as you re a self confessed surly old bastard Call it the surly old bastard admin clause and add it to WP NPA because that s basically what s going on here Note I m not being completely facetious here I would not mind at all if that was actually added to the policy hey if it reached consensus that certain admins can act this way then who am I to question it But civility is a pillar and this user flaunts it and his flaunting it poisons the project That s my problem in a nutshell
