| A Barnstar! | The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
This barnstar is awarded to an editor who has consistently made an impressive effort at being kind, respectful and thoughtful to his fellow editors - even when the reverts, blocks, personal attacks and vandalism are flying. Many thanks to Nescio! User:RyanFreisling @ 00:03, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Nescio is Latin for 'I don't know.' Experience tells me that to most of us that "seems to be the hardest word." Feel free to suggest or comment. Always happy to learn.
Number of Wikipedia articles to date 2,256,734

Intro
Nescio is my way of saying: 'don't be arrogant you are not the keeper of the truth.' It of course refers to Socrates who demonstrated the principle some time ago, Manuel from Fawlty Towers and Nescio the Dutch writer.

Coincidence does exist
Disruptive editors that made me lose my cool in the past and who oddly enough in some way or other knew each other:
- Template:User-multi made me start a RFC against him turned out to be the notorious bannned user Template:User-multi.
- Template:User-multi stepped in to defend Merecat on his RFC and was part of a sockpuppetring votestacking an AfD on a controversial topic. And he too had an alter ego: Template:User-multi.
- Template:User-multi stepped in to defend Merecat on his RFC.
- Template:User-multi while I never seen him before commented in Merecat's RFC to defend him (?!), subsequently beacame a tendentious editor who changed username to Template:User-multi after ArbCom put him on probation. He reappeared, and got blocked again, as SevenOfDiamonds.
