If humour is not allowed on Knowledge (XXG), how are we meant to bond into a community that can work together? Are we to give up a tradition dating back to the start of Knowledge (XXG) because some people don't like anything but seriousness, and are we seriously going to say that an editor

For conduct which was below the standard expected of an administrator — namely making an incivil and inflammatory close summary on ANI, in which he perpetuated the perceived BLP violation and failed to adequately summarise the discussion — JzG is
