I've never been ganged up on by a bunch of policies, but I've certainly been ganged up on by a bunch of admins. > In a project where anyone can write wordings, the communal sense of the > spirit of a policy, and its pre-eminence, is quite a significant thing. Indeed, it was the policies that stopped them. And that's what concerns me about the attacks on wikilawyering. Rules are intended to *avoid* problems. > FT2 -- -Ian Woollard _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
