[WikiEN-l] Ban those who send, and justify, death threats

Tue Jan 28 15:08:22 UTC 2003

I am horrified by the way that someone is clearly
threatening to murder one of us. I am surprised that so few
people here find this a problem. Does anything think that a
death threat is a joke? How would you like it if someone
was justifying the murder of your children?

Also, I just as horrified by the way that Jonathan (Clutch)
slanders this victim, justifies the clear death threat, and
- in a moment of absolute delusions - implicitylu blames
this on me (RK). For months now, as many of you know,
Jonathan has been suffering from paranoid delusions that
the Wikipedia community hates Christians. Now, we see the
depth of his illness.

I have said so before, and I say, again, Jonathan needs to
be banned from Wikipedia. Not only does he have a long
history of printing anti-Semitic incitement, but now he has
reached out with hateful speech to others here. Apparently
in his mind, it is Ok to send implic it death threats to
Wikipedia sysops.

Hey, if I don't like what a sysop says to me, can I
threaten to murder them too? ...

The real problem is why the rest of you let such a
disturbed and hateful person justify death threats,
anti-Semitism, and paranoid anti-Christian conspiracy
theories. This man needs medication; not unlimited access
to disrupt the Wikipedia community. This disruption of
Wikipedia only occurs because you allow it to.

If you allow anaonymous users to send very clear death
threats, and if you allow wackos to stay on Wikipedia
justifying them (or denying that they exist) all you will
end up doing is driving rational people away from this
project. I certainly won't stay on a project where
anti-Semites might threaten to kill me. Is this really so
hard to understand?

Or will I get a death threat myself for writing this
letter?

Robert (RK)
