== Vandal-like disruption, aspersions and PAs at [[WP:AVDUCK]] ==

Background: [[WP:Advocacy ducks]] is a relatively new essay, currently rated low impact. Unfortunately, what recently transpired was off the charts, [[WP:POINTY]]. A few editors are now attempting to make a mockery of the essay in a very disruptive, vandal-like fashion which was actually tried once before in the recent past by Quack Guru as evidenced below. The same editors adamantly opposed the essay from day one and tried to prevent it from going into mainspace. Their 3rd attempt failed but they have not dropped the stick. The most disruptive editors of recent events are:

*[[User:I9Q79oL78KiL0QTFHgyc]]

*[[User:AndyTheGrump]]

*[[User_talk:QuackGuru]]

I've grown weary of the BATTLEGROUND behavior.

The essay was created as a guide to help new editors respond properly to real (or perceived) disruptive editing by advocacy zealots. The suggested responses could actually apply to most disruptive situations. Much to my dismay, a small group of editors have misconstrued the essay and cannot/will not be convinced otherwise. They began the disruption after I initiated the current RfC because of ATG's reverts of my work. They have incorrectly interpreted the proposed statement and the essay itself as an attack on project teams which couldn't be further from the truth.

Disruption by AndyTheGrump

*[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Advocacy_ducks&diff=671943727&oldid=671939198 Casting aspersions] I believe it's the result of his own misapprehension of the essay and the statement I added that he kept reverting.

*[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BDD/Archive_17&diff=prev&oldid=656226807 April 13, 2015 - After my essay was deleted, he rewrote his own to suit his POV - [[Wikipedia:Advocacyquacks]] - It was speedy deleted but not without resistence]

Such behavior is disruptive, unwarranted, hurtful and certainly not helpful to the project. I respectfully request that an administrator review the behavior and take remedial action. [[User:Atsme|Atsme]][[User talk:Atsme |📞]][[Special:EmailUser/Atsme|📧]] 04:24, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
