Thank you Nathan. "there is a particular person who is an absolutely outstanding article writer, but has a longstanding habit of acting like a jerk on a regular basis. The community and the committee have repeatedly shown themselves to be incapable of finding a solution to that problem, and this is no exception."
Is there a term for this phenomenon? There has to be, somewhere. It happens offline all the time - that super accomplished professional who gets to treat everyone like dirt and get away with it because everyone admires their work. So exacerbated in an online community though because this person can terrorize so many more people with their behavior in so much less time. (And if there isn't a term, there should at least be a meme...) -- Krystle Chung Community Support http://www.wikihow.com/User:Krystle On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 11:41 AM, Nathan <nawr...@gmail.com> wrote: > It's really two issues - one, there was some disruption and misconduct > around the Gender Gap wikiproject that really got overblown a bit and never > needed to be an arbitration case to begin with.
