Statement of the dispute

Refusal to follow consensus, personal attacks, incivility.

Description

Dispute over edit to File manager and related topics is overshadowed by incivility, personal attacks and lack of cooperation from User:Exidor. This area of the topic has been the subject of dispute before, see Talk:Orthodox_file_manager and a AfD involving one or more editors in this dispute, e.g., User:Karnesky versus Special:Contributions/86.213.91.157.

Evidence of disputed behavior

(Provide diffs. Links to entire articles aren't helpful unless the editor created the entire article. Edit histories also aren't helpful as they change as new edits are performed.) Unfortunately, many of Exidor's edits over the past few days have not been civil.

Initial edit (one of several), with disparaging comment (calling nomenclature used by several articles "idiocy") by Exidor
revert by Exidor, commenting "WHAT THE HELL MORE THAN THAT do you need???" (listed in failed dispute resolution as well)
Response on his talk page to editor raising civility, accuracy, and sock puppet concerns (listed in failed dispute resolution as well):
- Exidor calling that editor an idiot
- Additional comment "you don't know f**k as to what you're talking about. Please avoid spreading your ignorance on Wikipedia"
Exidor's uncivil response to a second post on his talk page raising civility concerns
Exidor's userpage states that he doesn't "give a fuck" about WP:CIVIL & that he considers it a waste of time to endeavor for civility
comments by Exidor in a discussion on the article's talk page describing those with different viewpoints than his as clueless and dense
Exidor emphasizing part of Tedickey's username as a personal attack and telling him to shut up

Threaded replies to another user's vote, endorsement, evidence, response, or comment should be posted to the talk page.

Conclusion

As a result of the lack of outside comments and a reply from the user, I am closing this RfC due to inactivity. User:Exidor is warned to be more civil in discussions, as civility sanctions could be imposed in the future if the community deems it necessary. Wizardman 16:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
