I'm not sure the point here, I don't see it as useful. I don't really see how it illustrates standards of conduct as the tagplate states. It is a counterpoint to the behavioural standards. Let us delete it. Mercury 22:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Hey, we need to have our newcomer hazing rituals... --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:57, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. To quote: It illustrates standards or conduct that are generally not accepted by the Wikipedia community. This is a joke. —Scott5114↗ 22:59, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I'm not sure why people are trying to get rid of humor and turn us all into editing robots, but it's really got to stop. GlassCobra 23:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, likely to put a smile on people who are tired of dramatic monotony. Will (talk) 23:26, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Newbies, mmmmmmmmmmm! Guy (Help!) 23:33, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is an essay integral to community collaboration. Come, guys, the time for newcomer-biting has arrived. This essay should be made a guideline.--WaltCip (talk) 00:01, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, my name is Mouse, and I'm an adminoholic. Hi, Mouse. It has been six minutes since my last newbie biting. Applause. I can still remember the pleasure I got from tormenting an innocent. Yeah, we all know what you mean, Mouse. The tears streaming down her cheeks. The pleas. "I'll never split an infinitive again", she cried, "just don't ban me forever!" "Heh, heh, heh," I replied, "That's what Gene Roddenberry said!", and I let her have it with the banhammer. It felt good. And I'd do it again. Promote to policy. Indefinite block the nominator. And you, there in the corner, is that a smirk? Blocked for six months. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 00:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
