Wikipedia:Hypocrites

Are you engaged in a dispute with another editor? Do you wish you could have a collection of behavioral policies both practicable and lacking airtight quality? Look no further than Wikipedia’s policies & guidelines! Offended by someone correcting you? Toss a little WP:PA their way. If they don’t understand why telling you that what you are proposing is considered censorship is a personal attack, throw a little WP:CIR their way! Speaking of WP:CIR, while technically only an information page, it states the following:

"'Calling someone incompetent is a personal attack and is not helpful.'"

.. all while providing the handy dandy WP:CIR shortcut to toss into disputes, that upon being clicked by an editor, will meet them with "Competence is required" blown up across their monitor. Let's recap!


 * Personal attacks violate Wikipedia policy.
 * Calling someone incompetent is a personal attack.
 * WP:CIR can be conveniently used in disputes to call an editor incompetent.

That's what us cherry-pickers call 'selective logic'!

 The problem is that there is no uniform body of policymakers at Wikipedia. Instead, the consensus method is used, and the voters? The writers of these policies, their sockpuppets, cronies and of course.. one insignificant Yeoman editor who dared to point out the contradictions in our code of conduct..

But don't worry, we responded to them with "WP:NOPERSONALATTACKS!!!" "'Wikipedia is utterly insane. The encyclopedia anyone can edit is the encyclopedia only logged in users can edit, and only if they're in the good graces of the arbitrary ruling clique of the day. If you don't speak their phony language of tongue-in-cheek civility and bureaucracy, they will sooner or later drive you from this project.' - Rividian"
