 I'm trying to fight a pervasive form of newbie-biting, which (regardless of whether you put it there in the first place) you are supporting by restoring and vehemently defending it. 

 :I'm calling a spade a spade, and they ain't newbies  at least not newbies who will do anything other than self-promotion and abuse of Wikipedia. 

 Oh, and no personal attacks. 

 :If you think strong disgreement constitutes ""personal attacks"", you need to get out more. For the third time I call a spade a spade
