User talk:Heimstern/Editwarring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your thoughts on this are interesting.

I'm just wondering why you feel blocking is the right way. An edit war could easily arise between a good, knowledgeable editor and a nincompoop. By blocking, aren't you penalising the good editor just as much as the nincompoop? And blocking is something that can only be taken personally. Someone who is blocked is likely to become extremely upset, which could lead to the loss of good editors. (The existence of sockpuppets suggests that the ones most likely to be upset by a ban are the good editors, not the nincompoops, who just keep coming back).

Just my two cents.

This isn't done yet. I haven't really explained my thoughts on blocking yet. This document is likely to be ever-evolving, too, so don't expect things to stay absolutely the same over time. Thanks for reading! Heimstern Läufer (talk) 20:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
