Taking Your Own Medicine

This one tickled my funny bone. After Elliot the Thick clogs up the Recent Changes page with his own personal opinions on what constitutes an attractive page, an anon posts on his talk page asking him to use the Show Preview button. Rather sweetly, it's exactly what EtT himself posted on another user's page a few weeks ago.

EtT, hypocrite that he is, simply deletes the comment, and Ratwar the Vicious blocks the IP for being a proxy. No sense of humour, these people.

The original cause is worth looking at too. EtT doesn't actually do any work of his own, rather he messes around with the work of other people, moulding it to suit himself. He never asks anybody else about his changes either, just ploughs through the wiki imposing his judgement on other people. His method is anathema to the whole wiki idea. On Wikipedia, there are enough admins with enough courage to tell him off. On UESP, none of the admins have the stones to do so, bunch of gutless wonders that they are.

Message to all UESP admins: Elliot the Thick is screwing up your site. Get rid of him now.
