WP:Moby

This page in a nutshell: When under the accusation of dickery, if it's clear that the action is uncivil, readily cite WP:MOBY as a riposte.

百度但是，永远不要怀疑政府的工作效率，新任发言人张业遂已经在新闻发布会上透露：房地产税立法由全国人大常委会工作委员和财政部牵头组织起草，目前正在进行第一阶段起草的工作。

One of the easiest things to forget while editing and one of Wikipedia's most important aspects is that this is a medium used by people from many different cultures and societies.

Calling someone else a dick

Civility is one of our most important guiding principles when interacting. And in many cultures and societies being called a "dick" is profoundly uncivil. If you do indeed believe that someone is behaving badly, behaving badly yourself is not going to win you the moral high ground, much less the argument.

It's also worth bearing in mind when considering calling someone a "dick" that many ambiguous usernames disguise female editors.

When you are accused of being a dick

Having WP:DICK thrown at you is quite difficult to deal with. Protestations that one is not a dick do not calm the situation and, worse, move the focus of the discussion away from the matter in hand to focusing on your own behaviour. Ignoring the accusation seems to tacitly agree that your behaviour has been poor. And either option overlooks the reasonable objection that being called a dick is uncivil.

If you, or for that matter someone else has been accused of being a dick, you can respond by simply pointing the other party to this essay:

I disagree --Noob1 19:37 ETC
Don't be a WP:DICK --Angry1 19:41 ETC
WP:MOBY. Noob1 has a point, but I think he is wrong because... --Halo1 19:43 ETC

That's it. Have a whale of a time.
