All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVI

[Umbire]

Ah, this old chestnut.

I left a pretty firm reply on that I believe sums up the ATT position on the matter directly under it.

In fact, to springboard off this, I'm thinking again about how of the many users we've had to actively ban from here, several of them were the sort to take a "blackjack and hookers" approach to the prospect of either being banned from TVTropes or else splitting from it, and - by all appearances - only resented TVT's adminship (which was indeed corrupt at the time) and cooperated with ATT insofar as the former's adminship prevented them from pursuing their own self-interested goals at either wiki's expense.

This is something I feel I've seen play out quite a handful of times - the Complete Monster fiasco that was dragged over here and most "sides" directly involved in it, the recent fetish tropers (who it must be said, have a monomaniacal focus on said fetish that is infinitely more cause for concern than the fetish itself), the other editors banned for being unable to let go of ideological bents... it's bothersome, to the point I wonder sometimes if there isn't some Original Sin-type nonsense at play.
