'''Show the door to trolls, vandals, and wiki-anarchists, who, if permitted, would waste your time and create a poisonous atmosphere here.''' - Larry Sanger
I found this classic comment again, while looking through the history of WP:DISRUPT -- digging around to find out who the genius was that first misconstrued the concept of an "edit" to mean "edits and|or comments," and thus had blurred all canonical, traditional, and logical distinctions in the minds of thuglodyte admins everywhere. (WP:DE, by the way, should be "No disruptive editing"). Larry's above comment came as one of his recommendations upon his exit. In the same message he prophetically forewarned us Wikipudlians to to "be open and warmly welcoming, not insular." Larry had been growing frustrated with types of people, and had been making some quasi-draconian overtures. In retrospect, these seemed to have had a large influence in his subsequent sudden funding restrictions.
