User:Draeco/Rjanag

I recommend that be disciplined for grossly uncivil behavior towards User:Epeefleche. I have no connection to either editor personally, but I was shocked by Rjanag's behavior when I first encountered it at the AfD process for The Shells (folk band).

By way of orientation, Rjanag initiated the first AfD for The Shells, appealed the keep decision at this DRV and then relisted it 15 days later. This was quick but within his rights; the unacceptable part was his ensuing conduct towards Epeefleche. Rjanag's words constantly dripped sarcasm  as he labeled Epeefleche "Mr. Truth", questioned his adulthood  and insulted his intelligence. These attacks occured not on talk pages (though Epeefleeche nobly tried to direct them there to save the AfD drama  ), but in the middle of AfD debates, and even when Rjanag followed Epeefleche to the talk pages of third parties.

Epefleeche pointed out Rjanag's behavior   and asked him to refrain multiple times    to no avail. I noticed the incivility, as did User:Kiac, User:HWV258  User:Tony1  and User:Greg_L on numerous occasions. When User:HWV258 observed things might have become personal for Rjanag , Rjanag spit bile his way as well.

Doubtless Rjanag has done much good in his prolific career. But this behavior goes beyond a wikettiquette breach. It is unacceptable in any editor, no less an administrator. Gross incivility like this is poison to the Wikipedia project and demoralizes valuable, content-heavy editors like Epeefleche (edit profile). Rjanag did not abuse his admin powers per se, so I do not believe they should be revoked. But he should be sternly reprimanded at the least, and perhaps blocked for some time to cool his head. - Draeco (talk) 05:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
