Stupidity
"Stupidity"... Is it really necessary? ZJH 14:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It is usually accurate. Except that "user has issues with his own homosexuality" would be even more accurate in a majority of cases. Robert Ullmann 15:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well to suggest that these users are stupid or homosexual is out of line, regardless of the types of edits they make, whether malicious or in good faith. And your block messages could be misinterpreted as personal attacks towards each of these users blocked for "stupidity". And thus, I ask again, is it really necessary?

 * I'd support the removal of the "stupidity" option. Banning a user for being "stupid"... doesn't exactly give the best of impressions... --Yair rand 07:25, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Change it to "unacceptable conduct"? - -sche (discuss) 01:03, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
