"If it is your desire to drive other people away from this article, you have succeeded."

Don't say things like that, User:Imzadi1979. No matter how angry you are with the person in question, and no matter whether or not the person does want to drive others away from the article in question, it simply isn't cool to say things like that.

Indeed, saying something like that implies that you do think that the person wants to drive others away from the article. Isn't Rule One of Wikipedia "assume good faith"? If you genuinely do think that the person does want to drive others away from the article (in which case you think the person is not acting in good faith), then with the greatest of respect it's a thought that you are better off keeping to yourself, no matter how angry are when you think it.

And even if this person really does have the desire to drive others away from the article for whatever reason, and there is a reasonable amount of rock-solid evidence for this, it's still not cool to say it out loud to them.

Just as it's not cool to say to someone "you're sexist" or "you're ageist" or whatever, no matter whether they really are or not, and no matter how angry you are with them.
