only after there was a backlash: he did was felt right, people failed to counter, an admin deleted stuff, people bitched and moaned --> therefore, fine if the system is not yielding the right results let's change it.

Chris seems to be really decent. even if he had a lapse in judgement, he embraces pleasant discussion. i'm embarrassed by the juvenille response: the meanness most of all, but also the unwillingness to see someone else's perspective or view efforts as a collaboration rather than a fight.

if a teammate messes up, you help them, you don't shoot them down.

His user page now has a passive-aggressive self congratulatory quote from a supporter.

Lesson not learned. He's still seeking self-justification for removing knowledge from the public sphere. It's almost 1984-esque.

If a teammate (WP editor) deliberately sabotages the team (by deleting useful information instead of creating it), what do you do then?
